Description above says 18/8 grade, but elsewhere you advertise using only 18/0 (i.e., no nickel). Is this older stock from before you went to 18/0?

I wish I could help, but I don't know the composition. However, I use my bottle practically every day. It's just what I needed.

Excellent question. Our bottle with our Hanson Creek logo is 18/8, meaning it has just a little bit of nickel which helps the bottle to not rust. Originally, we were at the 18/0, but on extended research, decided to go with food-grade 18/8. You probably saw the 18/0 in earlier promotional media off of Amazon. I hope that helps. ...Deb

I just got mine today and they are .63 (3/12/2012) So for anyone reading or wants to know, Amazon still ship out .63 as of the date mentioned.

The TWO batteries provided with my kit are each marked only as "DeWalt 18V, Type 1, Ni-Cd". No XRP notation anywhere on the batteries. Looks like standard issue to me. :)

The Factory test shows the gain between 1.08 to 1.09. We would like to be more conservative and claim it as 1.0 gain. Thank you.

If all you got was 6's I know I would have been Pissed. In the little manila envelope included in the package would be a complete basic set. A 20, 12, 10, 8, 6, and a 4. In the event there is not a reasonable mix otherwise, I got 30 6's my self, borrow at tonight's session. Take a Pic now send to Chessix and ask if that is a fair mix for a Pound-o-dice.Let us know what results.

The larger 20-qt stock pot by this same manufacturer and sold under the same "Professional Commercial Grade" description (http://www.amazon.com/Professional-Commercial-Stainless-Induction-Certified/dp/B003HMH60K/ref=pd_bxgy_k_img_y) is noted as being 18/8 stainless. While not proof that this one is, perhaps it's a safe bet for your purposes.

Hey Glen,I changed the description to read 500 a while back but I guess it didn't save. I'll go in and update it in a few. Thanks for pointing that out to us.

To be honest I never bother calibrating mine, and things have turned out okay. I did realize that was kind of dumb so compared the known weight of an object (weighed on another, calibrated one) to the weight shown on my scale and it was close enough for my purposes (like off by 0.1 or 0.01 (can't remember if there's two points after the decimal or not)). Though you can always calibrate w a nickel or other coin w a known weight of course.

I believe it was 18/10 because it is a quality pot. 18/0 does not keep its shine as well as you can tell with cheap 18/0 flatware. I always look for 18/10 or better to buy.

Hello,This product listing was mis-leading on Amazon, as it featured 10/3.3# on the listing, but when it arrived it only had one in the box. Amazon did reach out to me and indicate that it was a mistake, and they refunded me. I've since found that item at retail for $ 3.49 - $ 3.99 range, so I would hope you get at least 6 for this price!Trevor

It isn't old stock. There are multiple versions of packaging out there. The product I received was nowhere near expiring. I actually received the newer packaging but I could care less. It's what's inside the bottle that counts.

If I were using 3/4 stock, I would use the blue set. I bought this specifically to use with less than 3/4 i.e. 1/2 or 5/8.

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.

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.
