I want to keep peanut oil at about 200 deg C over an extended period of time and I want to know which grade of common stainless steel would be recommended for this task? (preferrably 430 or 304 grade steel, but new suggestions are welcom as well)

Try 335 SS, It withstands heat for long periods of time, also does not give off toxic fumes

In general, the austenitic stainless steels are considered to have the best overall corrosion resistance of all the stainless steels and to be the most resistant to industrial atmospheres and acid media. As the corrosion conditions become more severe (e.g. higher temperatures and stronger acids), more alloy content above that in type 304 is required. The addition of over 2% Mo to austenitic stainless steels increases resistance to pitting. Type 316 is a popular alloy in this class and contains 2.5% Mo.

I always use a magnet test. Use a good magnet and if it is high grade stainless it will not attract.

316...304 is not that great
