Black stainless steel appliances can be scratched a bit easier than you might think. But what does it look like when that happens? We test the durability of black stainless steel refrigerators. We demonstrate what happens when you scratch black stainless Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Samsung, LG and Frigidaire refrigerators with a fork. When you dig into the finish on the exterior of the appliance you will scratch away the semi-opaque black oxide coating to reveal the silver stainless steel underneath.
