Reply to comment by Specialist_Basket_35 in Make my choice: which stainless steel food container should I get? Round, Rectangle or Square? Looking to get away from plastic containers for the kids but can't decide which one is more practical in long run by klaroline1
Glass is a bit heavier to carry and kids aren’t too careful with them so we’ve been looking at stainless steel alternatives.

Ah, that makes sense. Guess I didn’t think about it from a heavy perspective.

Is there an issue with acidic foods like pasta sauce?

Not really, otherwise how would you cook pasta sauce even? Good stainless steel is ok

The difference is cooking is typically way shorter time than food storage. Google it, but here's a snippet I found..
"Since proteins can form complexes with metal atoms, such as iron, in the pan, and acidic foods, such as tomatoes, cabbage, lemon, sauces, etc., can react with the stainless steel, causing leaching of the material into the food."
