SS202 or 304 Kitchen Baskets - Which is recommended?

February 9, 2009

Hi,
I am from Western India. I am doing up my Kitchen and I want to put some steel kitchen baskets with shutters and telescopic channels.
I want to know the following:
1. Should I go for baskets of SS202 or 304?
2. Which is more expensive?
3. Which one will last longer?
4. What is the difference between the two?
5. Should I go for any type of coating on the baskets?
6. Is there a chance of Nickel poisoning etc. I had read about it somewhere.
Best regards,
