Which grade of stainless steel is it?

It does the job Jack. I have better, but you get what you pay for. I'm pleased. I press my coffee sometimes, and the handle is long enough to use to stir the press. You really should use plastic, but this works fine for me. One last thing, I could easily bend and break it if I cared to, and I am not strong. What do you want for the price?

I have no idea. It's a coffee spoon used once or twice a day. Why is the grade an issue

I don't know the answer to your question. The stainless was a gift to my daughter and she no longer has the box. What I can tell you is that it's nice and heavy (sturdy) and comfortable to hold.

This is 304 = 18/8 stainless steel it is good for storage. The highest grade is 18/10 which is better for cooking. I found some 18/10 in the camping section that can be used for both storage and cooking.

Steel, not sure what grade. It has a coating on it that gives it the look of being forged in the fires of Mirror. The coating is relatively good, there is one or two places where it faded slightly more than others.

Don't know grade, but it is definitely a good quality and not cheaply made.

Not sure of grade ss but I give it A+. It looks great and is sturdy enough to hold without bowing or bending.

do not know what the grade of chromium to nickel, but I have cooked on it and served on it and it is great. I have worked in the restaurant industry for 40 years and I like what I purchased.

Yes it is stainless steel - 304 Grade (18/8). The first number,18, refers to the amount of chromium present and the second represents the amount of nickel. 304 grade can have 18-20% chromium and 8% nickel. It is the most common stainless steel used in the food prep / kitchen utensil market. Hope that helps, Don (co-founder Schefs)

The first number in 18/10 stainless steel refers to the percentage of the alloy that is made up of chromium. In order to be considered stainless steel at all, that number must be at least 10.5%. A higher value of chromium means that the protective layer will be thicker and will repair itself more quickly if damaged. Therefore, 18/10 stainless steel has a high level of chromium, and will be more resistant to staining and corrosion. The second number in 18/10 stainless steel refers to the percentage of nickel in the cookware. Although 18/8 also indicates high quality stainless steel cookware, the higher both numbers are, the better the cookware. above information quoted from: http://www.only-cookware.com/what_is_18_10_stainless_steel_cookware.html Also, the whistle does work, but you really have to boil the water excessively. not a problem for me. I just listen for the water and turn off the heat when it is ready. We are very happy with our tea pot. We use it multiple times a day and it is holding up well.

Yes, it is 100% stainless steel. Food grade means you can use this stainless steel with food. Some stainless have additives that can not be used with food.

Stainless Steel is Stainless Steel There is no grade...but even if there were...what would you know or have to compare it to? Nothing! If anything is graded it might be the thickness of the steel...but again, you have nothing to compare it to.
