Is this 18/10 or 18/8 stainless? Also, what country is this made in?

I have the slotted spoon and ladle version of this. In all honesty I can am not sure of the nickel percentage. I have used my utensils for about 5 months and I am happy with them. They are heavy with a nice grip, nice sheen (brushed) but does seem to scratch easy. I am not worried about scratches, I abuse my utensils, so that could be why. As for where OXO is made. I am pretty sure they were originally manufactured and designed in New York, USA. OXO was sold though some years back to another U.S. company. Not real sure, I do not remember what my package said. Sorry if this has not helped you at all, but for the price I feel it is well worth it. Would be a bonus if still made here in the USA

According to the specifications on Elkay's website, this sink is #18 gauge, type 304 (18-8) nickel bearing stainless steel. Made in USA.

You probably mean what's the alloy composition. "18/10" isn't a "gauge" it's a description of a metal content of a particular class of stainless steel.

If it's magnetic, then it's NOT 18/10 stainless, as the description claims. According to metallurgists, only lesser grades of stainless are magnetic, due to the percentage of chromium,nickel, and molybdenum that makes up 18/10 Stainless Steel.

So very sorry that I do not know if the unit is made of 18/10 stainless steel. Please try to contact Excalibur for that type of answer, as it is not mentioned in the description. I can tell you that it is easy to keep clean and I've been extremely pleased with the purchase.

It's 18/0, so will tend to discolor and rust a bit. Get 18/10 stainless for the best rust resistance

On the bottom of the pan I see the inscription, "STAINLESS STEEL". No further stipulation is made, so I don't know if it is 18/10.

Yes it is 18/8 premium grade stainless steel. You will not be Disappointed with the quality of this pot. My last two brews session have been in my backyard on my burner at temperatures under 20 and it holds the heat perfect!

I can't tell you if they are 18/10, but the pots and lids are stainless steel.

It's odd that 18/10 isn't listed in the specs, since that would be a major selling point. Is it stamped on the utensils?

It is 18/10. I will also add that it is solidly made and not a cheap looking item at all. The mesh is ultra fine and well secured with a neat stainless rim as you can see in the picture. Again, this is a very fine mesh so perfect for skimming soups, etc. which is how I use it. I keep my utensils hanging from stainless bars and this is attractive enough for me to hang there as well. So far, I'm very pleased with it.

It's not 18/10 stainless but it's is a great value for the price. Great set I use it everyday.

I cannot tell if it is 18/10, but it is stainless steel and it is a fairly thick rigid. It is a very solid unit and it works very well. We really like it. I hope this helps.

It is made in China of 18/8 stainless. Use it every day for the last 3 years. One of the rare Chinese made items that is made pretty well.

Hi Gail! I own this so Amazon asked me if I would respond to your question. :) It is 18/10 stainless, but due to the gold accent content, they recommend and I do hand wash only. It's so pretty, it's worth it though. Hope that helps!

If it does not say 18/10 Stainless, it is probably not really "stainless" but a cheap knockoff. The kettles available to Europeans are high quality, made in Belgium or Germany, while "American" kettles are shoddy Chinese products with plastic and other cheap materials. Right now, I'm waiting on an email return from Russell Hobbs to see what I would need to do to use a European kettle in this country. In America, we keep buying throw-away crap and wonder why vendors keep selling it (duh - because we buy it). Europeans are protected by their governments from shoddy products - products must meet higher standards there.
