as anyone knows, magnets do not exactly draw to stainless steel.
 
That depends on the which stainless steel you're talking about. 400 series stainless works just fine with magnets. You're probably looking at 300 series. The relative amounts of chrome and nickel determine whether the stainless is magnetic.

Jim's corollary to Murphy's Law states, "The magnetic properties of an object dropped into an inaccessable space are inversly proportional to the cost, importance, and potential damage caused by leaving said object in that inaccessable space."
