Old dishwasher SS. Can it be used?

[TimCollins]

I replaced my old dishwasher this weekend. I am curious about the SS it contains. The door and all the interior are SS. I have no clue about its grade or gage although I am sure it is not 18. Is this worth slicing and dicing into plates, or is it better left for scrap?

I doubt it is 316L but that does not mean you can not uses it. You will just have a much longer conditioning process and should never drive it over .25 amps per active area on one side of one plate.
