What kind of stainless steel is it made of? Basic 18/0 or high quality 18/10?

I'm not sure of the quality of stainless steal. However, after having my steamer for at least 6 months with constant use. The steamer has been slowly starting to fall apart. There are now burn marks on the bottom (it's changed color) and the wings are falling off. So I don't think the quality is that high.

I don't know the quality of the steel, but these units fall apart. After scrapping three, I now use a stainless steel colander to steam veggies.

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

I didn't have them taken to a lab for analysis or anything, but yes, "18/10" is stamped on the back. They are beautiful with a nice weight to them. The Non Stop set has a beautiful brushed finish, which I like much better than the super shiny finish some of their other sets have, so maybe it doesn't photograph as though it's stainless steel.

Because I didn't know the answer I used Google to find the answer as for the spoons they are great. Have you ever seen the numbers 18/0, 18/8, or 18/10 listed to describe stainless steel flatware? A common misperception is that these numbers refer to the weight of stainless flatware. These numbers have nothing to do with weight. These number are common in the industry and refer to the percentage of chromium and nickel that is used in the manufacture of the stainless steel alloy used to make the flatware. The first number is the percent of chromium in the alloy. Chromium content is what give stainless it's strength. The second number is the percent of nickel. Nickel is what gives stainless it's shine and rust-resistance. 18/10 and 18/8 are the optimal amounts of chromium and nickel for stainless steel flatware and are regarded as the highest level of quality. Some people think that 18/10 is better than 18/8 but in reality there is no difference and both are the highest level of quality. On the other hand, 18/0 is different and most of the cheaper stainless steel is 18/0. If numbers are not offered, many times it is because it is 18/0 or the lower level of quality. Most of the time if stainless is 18/8 or 18/10 the seller will let you know that since it is a selling point if flatware is 18/8 or 18/10.

It means the grade of stainless steel the pan is made from and the weight of the stainless steel.18/10 is a very good grade of stainless.

I have been using this 3 piece set for over a year and I am quite satisfied. The inner part of the casserole is made of good quality of stainless steel. Not sure on your 18/8 parameter.

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.

The Amazon community (buyers) answers the questions here. It does say 18/10 steel in the description but for anything more specific and for country of manufacture I suggest you ask the company / Epica.

I don't know, but I have owned it for about a month and love it. I use stainless for all my cooking having been scared by all the hype of aluminum and Alzheimer's. This pan is a good weight and the two handles make it easy to handle. The dishwasher cleans it well after a cursory scouring with a scratchy pad. I think the manufacturer specs would list the 18/10 issue question answer.

18/8 and 18/10: These are the two most common grades of stainless steel used for food preparation and dining, also known as Type 304 (304 Grade) and are part of the 300 series. The first number,18, refers to the amount of chromium present and the second represents the amount of nickel. For example, 18/8 stainless steel is comprised of 18% chromium and 8% nickel.
