So the magnet will keep things in place as long as my table/countertop/cutting surface is stainless steel or cast iron? I mean swell for a commercial kitchen, but show me the commercial kitchen that's going to give a 14x10 cutting board the time of day.
its meant for using on the smoker shelf, and stainless steel is not magnetic - nathanwaldschmidt
blanket statement, it's true and not true. My stainless steel Whirlpool refrigerator has a dozen magnets stuck to it. It all depends on the composition of the steel used in the particular "stainless steel". Too much to explain here, google it.

Stainless isn't magnetic. Your Whirlpool Fridge has two layers of metal laminated together because people like using magnets on a fridge. You won't find a magnetic stainless countertop unless you build it yourself, so I think the original comment that this is a weird feature still stands.
^ Unlikely on a fridge to have two panels like that. There are different grades of stainless and those used for appliance housings are generally the lower, cheaper grade which has some, or more, iron in it.
Things that need to be highly rust resistant are where you'll usually find the non-magnetic SS and even then you can often find lower grade versions of same thing that use the cheaper magnetic stainless, like flatware, forks, s***ns, etc.

Looks like the post was missing the moving piece

Thank you!
