Not nescessarily... stainless steel tends to exaggerate any smudges
and fingerprints like a black car, and is as finicky about cleaning as
a plush carpet is with vacuuming... every out of direction swipe
creates an optical embarrassment that's not actual dirt... that's why
so many stainless steel appliances offer textured surfaces, but that's
not the look most people want. The only way to have an impecable
looking kitchen is not to cook
