Is this 18/10 stainless steel - which is slower to rust?

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.

18/10 stainless means that there is 10% nickle in the "mix." Stainless has chromium in it, but without the nickle is more apt to discolor. High end cookware uses 18/10 stainless.

I have used this sink strainer for 5 months now. It's been through the dishwasher approximately once a week and it has not rusted at all! Still shiny!

I am not sure if it's made of 18/10 but it is a shiny silver and I have let it air dry and there has been no rust!

Huge difference 18/10 is better stainless, the Cocoa Blossom is a quality set without breaking the bank for everyday use

I have had the sifter for over a year and it shows no signs of rusting. Other than the lable saying stainless, it is not stamped. I have owned ALL-CLAD stainless cookware for years and none have 18/8 or 18/10 stamped on them and absolutely never rusted What i can tell you is that this is the perfect sifter if you have lots to sift. It is so easy to use with little, to no effort.

It is NOT! Keep in mind 18/0 will rust almost immediately.. hense why so cheap. Always get 18/10 in whatever silverware you get!!

Not sure of the grade o if it's 18/10 or 18/0, however I have run it through the dish washer several times and there is no sign of rust. The one negative compared to similar pans I purchased in the past is these are made of thinner material.

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.

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!

Even so it is not stamped, it is most likely an 18/10 stainless steel but likewise if it would be an 18/8 steel, the difference would be of no importance. Further to your information, the 18 stands for the Nickel contend while the 10 or 8 would be for the Chromium contend. In any case it is a top quality product.

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.

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.

Not sure what you mean. The stainless is very nice, does not rust, looks beautiful. I have dropped items that have not broken, but one never knows.

18/10 stainless steel has 18 percent chromium and 10 percent nickel content. Stainless steel differs from carbon steel by the amount of chromium present.

If you are buying a store brand that is why anything purchased that does not say 18/8 will probably rust. I'm on well water so I have to use a dish washer cleaning product every few months and change my whole house filter monthly. I'm using the Henckels as fine silver so I use for company only and I hand wash and immediately dry. The Henckel steak knives I have had for years and I put those thru the dishwasher and they have held up beautifully they don't seem to rust or water spot like my everyday silverware which is Oneida.

I purchased the Cooks standard NC-00238 5 ply clad S/S chefs pan 32cm and the cooks standard NC-00247 steamer 32cm purchased 8 mths and use it most days, Rust should never be a problem because it is stainless steel.

It is 18/10 which means 18% chromium and 10% nickel which means it usually costs more. Also means it is rust resistant, durable,easy to maintain and has brilliant luster. Aluminum is not mentioned at all. You can research the 18/10 ratio but feel as if this pretty standard. I am very pleased with the nor pro and had some of the same concerns with aluminum hope this helps.
