Our web search indicates the following about food grade stainless steel cookware: it is healthier than cookware that is coated with PFAs or PTFE (PolyTetraFluoroEthylene, a synthetic substance, such as brand Teflon), it is corrosion resistant from most oxidizing acids (not all), non-toxic, non-absorbent, it is difficult for bacteria to adhere to and survive, it is lightweight, and easy to clean and sanitize. Would not recommend cooking or heating highly acidic food or liquids for long cooking durations on stainless steel containers with nickel. Note that 304 stainless steel is also known as 18/8 and 18/10 for its composition of 18% chromium and 8%/10% nickel, respectively. Reading through various research materials on 304 stainless steel is recommended.
