Is this the 18/10 or the "all" stainless?

That is a valid question and one I had failed to address. I am very happy with the quality and that it is multiclad all the way up the sides; it cooks very evenly. No where on the exterior is it stamped 18/10. I found a website that may be of help to you: http://www.finishing.com/292/94.shtml Please cut/paste into your browser bar to learn more.

I believe it is the 18/10, but i am unsure. Also, the model on mine reads, MCP66-28. I have been very happy with it. Also, SS cleaner/polisher paste has done a great job keeping this pot in top order. It is our best large pot though we have several quality pots.

My pot is a MCP66-24 but the box has no indication of 18/10. It is a very nice pot in any case, better than my review indicates. It is suitable for induction stoves (magnetic) if that is the issue. This is an excellent value, is one of our favorite pots, is used on the conventional electric stovetop and in the oven. We have had the pot over a year and my vote is to get it and enjoy it.

I'm not sure what this question is about. The Cuisinart MultiClad Pro line is VERY good quality, seems to be 18/10 quality, both in the weight and the quality of stainless steel. I have a whole line of the MultiClad Pro. The lesser-priced line below the MultiClad Pro isn't NEARLY the quality, Stay away from it. Marianne

According to the Multiclad Pro set description, Cuisinart MCP-12 MultiClad Pro Stainless Steel 12-Piece Cookware Set , it's 18/10. A very nice pot.

I do not know but believe it is not 18/10. Mine rusted badly in less than 3 months. The steel is weakly attracted to a magnet, a sure sign it's not 18/10. Possibly it's 18/8 and in a humid environment 18/8 will rust. The 18/10 alloy they should have used on this it type 316, it's typically used in marine environments and its base Ni/Cr is 18/10 but it has a significant amount of molybdenum in the alloy. Type 316 is often called surgical steel. I doubt if the manufacturer knows the alloy. If you just spec "stainless steel" 18/8 is about the best you might get.

Dear CB,Thank you for your inquiry.* All of our 18/0 stainless steel cookware is suitable for induction cooking. 18/0= 0 % nickel content18/8= 8% nickel content18/10= 10% nickel contentThe "18" stands for the chromium content, which is the same for all stainless steel. Durable stainless steel and the 18/0 stainless steel are always induction stove top suitable. Thank you for allowing us to be of service to you.Sincerely,Tonia D.

The one I received (and wanted) was the full stainless steel one. I don't know if there are other models such as the one pictured here, but again, mine was all stainless. I still like it a lot.

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

Robspeed is correct, they are T304 stainless steel which is 18/8. They're great pans, quite heavy,even heating, easy to clean. I love them!

Speaking as to the actual product I received after ordering it, it's certainly not 18/10 stainless or for that matter any kind of stainless steel. The strainer I received is made out of a cheap aluminum grade material, polished to look like stainless steel, but it's not. I buy sheet metal for a living and I know a little about metals.

Yes, it is all stainless. The one that is black, must have been an error or something...

Yes, mine is 18/8 also. For a technical description of the difference, see this site: http://www.finishing.com/292/94.shtml My take-away is that the 18/8 is more 'ductile' than the 18/10, meaning that it will bend more without cracking or breaking. The 18/10 is harder and will crack sooner under repeated flexing.

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

Nothing on the box indicates that it is 18/10 stainless steel. It is nice though, but it doesn't come with a strainer anymore. I contacted Oggi and they mailed it with just a $5 shipping charge. They said the new model doesn't have the strainer and they only had a few left. Here's the #714-449-0733 to get the strainer. You can ask them if it is 18/10.

The label "18/0" means the steel contains 18% Chromium and 0% Nickel (vs 8-10% Nickel, same thing most manufacturers). Price of Nickel has skyrocketed recent years so you will see more and more silverware made of 18/0. Does not impact durability.

I do not know that 18/20 stainless steel or not. But this cooking pot is shiny and easy to clean and cook fast.

18 refers to 18% chromium content, and the other number refers to the percentage of nickel content. There is no difference between 18/8 and 18/10. It's purely marketing. 18/0 however, has no nickel content, which means it won't keep its silver-like shine over the years.

It is all stainless steel. I've had mine several years, now, and it has held up perfectly.

Yes, it is. Google item name and model number, and 18/10 stainless and you will find references.
