    I bought one that claimed to be "All Stainless Steel",  but part of
    the chain and attachment were not, however since these were just
    wire attachment & hinge parts, it took only a few minutes to
    fabricate copper / brass replacements.  To test, just dip the
    strainer in the pickle empty and look for any signs of plating, then
    replace the offending parts, or return it to the store with the
    evidence of the non stainless nature of the item. 

Hope this helps,
Ed
