No doubt. The stainless doesn't show any signs of heat. I dunno how hot
you'd need to heat the drainer to get it to change color or leave some
other visible mark, but I bet it's hotter hotter than the thermoplastic
point of the polymer.
He said, as if he knew anything about polymers.
What is needed here, of course, is someone who knows polymers and has a
Westy.
