Well, I really like to be helpful, but you've got me stumped! What I can tell you is that the quality seems quite good, the pieces are heavy, and there's nothing that looks or feels flimsy or cheap. I'm very happy with the set.

I'm sorry I cant help you. I purchased these for a vacation home and did not keep the boxes.

I cannot tell if it is 18/10, but it is stainless steel and it is a fairly thick rigid. It is a very solid unit and it works very well. We really like it. I hope this helps.

It doesn't say 18/10 anywhere that I can find. The mesh is 7.25" dia, and the rim is 8.25" dia. Approx. 5" deep with the feet.

The Best Stainless Steel Flatware GradeEither 18/10 or 18/8 flatware is best. Both are made from the same base material, grade 304 steel; 18/10 is something of a marketing trick and should not cost any more than 18/8. Grades such as 18/0 and 13/0 will have a less durable shine and less rust-resistance.

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!

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.

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.

18/10 has 10% nickel hence it doesn't isn't likely to spot or get rust stains when washed in a dish. I wouldn't buy it with out we have had this set 1 year about it still just like it brand new. My husband loves it because it's not light it is heavy duty and pretty for me? I have had both 18/0 rust spots in a month. It is well worth the extra money.

The first number in 18/10 stainless steel refers to the percentage of the alloy that is made up of chromium. In order to be considered stainless steel at all, that number must be at least 10.5%. A higher value of chromium means that the protective layer will be thicker and will repair itself more quickly if damaged. Therefore, 18/10 stainless steel has a high level of chromium, and will be more resistant to staining and corrosion. The second number in 18/10 stainless steel refers to the percentage of nickel in the cookware. Although 18/8 also indicates high quality stainless steel cookware, the higher both numbers are, the better the cookware. above information quoted from: http://www.only-cookware.com/what_is_18_10_stainless_steel_cookware.html Also, the whistle does work, but you really have to boil the water excessively. not a problem for me. I just listen for the water and turn off the heat when it is ready. We are very happy with our tea pot. We use it multiple times a day and it is holding up well.

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.

If I had to choose another finish to go with brushed nickel, I would go with stainless steel. It will be drabber than the brushed nickel, but not too much of a difference.

I don't know how the "magnetic test" got started but - A typical composition of 18% chromium and 10% nickel, commonly known as 18/10 stainless, is often used in cutlery and high quality cookware. You will find that this type of stainless steel is Austenitic 316 Series and as such is non-magnetic, therefore the use of a magnet is useless and doesn't really tell you anything. From Wikipedia "Austenite, also known as gamma phase iron (-Fe), is a metallic, non-magnetic allotrope of iron"

From the Kidbasix website: "We use food grade stainless steel (300 series or 18/8) in all of our products, which has a maximum of 8% nickel. It is the presence of nickel that results in the formation of the molecular structure that gives this grade some of its key characteristics such as high strength, ductility (ability to be formed) and toughness. It is our understanding that all stainless steel has some nickel in it and it does not pose a health threat. However, there is a small percentage of the population that has a nickel allergy in which case they should stay away from all stainless steel as it may cause a skin rash."

The first number is always "18" so by itself, it means nothing. 18/10 is high-quality rust resistant and not magnetic. 18/0 is less "stainless" but it is magnetic and works on induction hobs. Often, with a multi-ply pan, the inner layer will be 18/10 for stain resistance and the outer layer will be 18/0 to work on induction hobs (the layer in between would be aluminum or copper.

On the 18/10 rating the 10 indicates the amount of nickel in the stainless steel and the nickel makes it non magnetic. This is 18/8 so it is a little lower percent nickel but still non magnetic. I hope this helps you. It is a heavy duty baking sheet.

The /0 represents the percentage of nickel. The higher the nickel, the shinier the steel and less likelier it is that it will rust. However, of course, the more expensive it is.
