Still holding up well, hasn't leaked a drop yet. A magnet sticks to it

I have an electric tea kettle of that kind too. Had it for years, no
problem.
And a stainless bowl - that developed a pinhole in weeks when I left it
out with saline in it. Yes, I know - difficult for you to understand or
believe.

No, I understand and probably believe. I'm simply responding to some
rather grandiose and illogical statements:

"Put water in a bowl and it will have a hole in it is a couple of
weeks" - I did and it didn't.

"Don't use magnetic stainless on a boat" - I have done and it hasn't
leaked yet..

I notice that you seem to snip the statement I am responding to and
leave only my statement standing all alone.
