is this set actually 18/10 or 18/0 stainless steel?

I've owned these for 6 years and they are great, 18/10 is clearly marked on each stem. BUT I believe they have recently made a change to cheapen these up and have gone to the cheaper 18/0 alloy. Shame on Ginkgo, their website supports this. The old ones were great.

NO. This set is 18/0. It is stamped right on each fork. Mine just arrived and I'm looking right at it. Back in the box it goes, and back to amazon.

18/10 is 18% Chromium and 10% nickel both contain stain-resistant properties. 18/0 is 18% Chromium and 0% nickel and Chromium by itself and is not a reliable rust-resistant material. Combined with nickel, it takes on more hard-wearing properties. The combination of nickel also creates a brighter, polished look. Because of this, 18/10 products generally cost more.

No, 18-10 is not stamped on that pot nor on any of the other Emeril stainless cookware we own. We do certainly like how it performs in the kitchen.

Hello,Yes, the rack is 18/10 stainless steel as well as the lid and base. Unfortunately, we are out of the size you are asking for. The 8 quart size is available. Our website will be updated in 24 hours to show there is none in stock of the 12 quart size. We receive shipments weekly so please check our website again for quantities. Thank you Ann

I don't think so...I have a set from my wedding 16 years ago and it is marked "18/10 stainless" on the handles. These new ones are just marked "stainless steel" and have a bit of a lighter weight than the older ones. Not a significant difference from the old ones though and the pattern is exactly the same.

The bottom of mine says 6.00T/5.7L which may be another way to say 18/10 stainless steel. Mine is stamped stainless steel as well. I LOVE mine and would recommend it to anyone. It is very well made and is beautiful! Perfect for soups, pasta, corn.

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!

Yes - it is 18/10. That is what I was looking for when purchasing and I just double-checked it against descriptions on the internet, which indicate 18/10.

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.

It says "18/10 handle" on the knifes. On the back of the spoons and forks it says the brand name and "stainless china" after that. It's small, but engraved so it's not coming off.

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!

I have no idea how to tell if they are 18/10, however I can tell you I am very pleased with mine. They dont rust and the shape is unique

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.

Hello Glenna, I know that the Ginkgo Lafayette flatware is/was 18/10, which is a superb strong mix of metal. I'm not sure exactly what 18/0 is. To find that out, I'd do a google search on 18/0 versus 18/10. Perhaps they're one in the same, but I've not heard that, so to ease my mind, I would want to know exactly what 18/0 is. Hope that helps. Sherrye

The product is not 18/10 - it is actually 18/0 on the exterior with only a stainless 202 grade cooking surface. The 202 is about the cheapest quality stainless in use and is not generally accepted as cookware grade - It certainly is not professional grade. The 202 is prone to stains, rusting and easily scratches. Unlike true 18/10 these scratches will not self repair/seal.

This is not 18/10. The original pattern was called simply Crescendo and *was* 18/10 - I have a set and each piece is marked as such. This is 18 chrome (or 18/0) - there is no nickel in the alloy like the original. There is a slightly different color and feel to the set. They renamed the pattern Crescendo II because it is no longer 18/10. Check the R&B; website and it will confirm that they now consider Crescendo II "casual flatware" and it is now made with "18 chrome". If a seller does not specifically state that the set is 18/10 (meaning that they have an older, original set) then you should assume that it is 18/0. This is not 18/10.

It doesn't specify but they are almost certainly 18/0 rather than 18/10. That is the cheapest stainless grade NSF will certify.
