Magnetic stuff around the house

Looking for interesting articles about magnets I came across a journalist based in Singapore's blog "Magnetic stuff around the house".  With a fun site and some interesting items on her list, look at some of these magnetic things which we over look in everyday life and be amazed!



To continue with the magnetic trail that was paved because of tea tins, I trailed behind every piece of possible metal seeking for *attraction*.

With the understanding that iron, steel (an alloy of iron), nickel and cobalt are magnetic, here are some of their comrades:

✜ Stainless steel (SS) cookware; esp pot base
✜ SS utensils, including chopsticks
✜ SS sink
✜ SS scourging sponge (surprise!)

✜ Tweezer
✜ Scissors, plier, shears, can-opener and knife
✜ Cast iron cookware
