Not sure if you want to use beach on stainless. Stainless steel contains nickel, and if too much of the surface is worn away, nickel can leach out. Nickel can cause extreme allergy reactions. Even leaving stainless steel outside can cause premature nickel-leaching problems. Symptoms of an allergy include: extreme itching, rash, and hair loss on face and/or paws. Replace stainless bowls before any sign of wear. My favorite bowl is ceramic that has no lead in the clay used.
