Hello!

Does anyone happen to know anything about this 'Brandani' branded gooseneck kettle? I'm hoping to find any original information about it and also to find out if it is stainless steel or some mixture with aluminum.

I've failed so far at finding anything online about it.

For context, it took me a few hours of nonconsecutive research to learn the term 'gooseneck'. So, I'm not the most learned person on the topic.

Any direction or advice is very highly appreciated.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read my post!

So, unfortunately it seems to have failed the magnet test. (Had to check what fail and pass were for that lol)

Interestingly though, the lid of it is magnetic. And I was only using what I had at my friend's house, which were small basic fridge magnets.

I read it's maybe possible it's still not aluminum just because it didn't stick to a magnet? I've got some stronger magnets at home but it will be a few days still before I can test that.

And I couldn't find anything which was pure copper, save for finding and stripping a wire somewhere.

Thank you very much for your help here. It has been incredibly beneficial for this search.

I will continue looking for strong magnets just in case, as well as reading where I can to see if anything says what else it could be.

I may be at the end of what I can do outside of testing a sample of the material itself, but if anything comes to mind at any point, please feel free to toss it here. I'll be checking back for sure as well as updating with anything I find.

Thanks again!

Not all stainless steel alloys contain enough iron to ferromagnetic, so the magnet test only proved that your lid is ferro. Good luck with it.
