what gauge of stainless steel is this teapot?

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.

I do not recall however I can say that it heats as well on electric as gas burner and the whistle is lovely!

Hello, I am afraid I don't know the gage of steel. It is a beautiful pot, whistles great, pours nicely. However, it has rusted inside.

I'm sorry but I don't know. But I am very happy with it.. Check on Amazon, it should say. I just checked the web site and it's 18-10 stainless steel.

I don't know a lot about guage but i do know cookware lol its heavy enough to be good light enough not to hurt you. boils quickly, cleans easy but the whistle isn't really loud if your used to a cheap one.

I don't know if I will be of much help as far as gauge wise, but this does seem to be a good quality stainless steel pan. I really like it.

gauge is 18/10. i am really happy with the silverware, and i am picky about weight and girth. I am about to write a note to Waterford though, the teaspoons are turning yellow. i am well aware not to use citrus based cleaners in my dishwasher, but they are still truning.

Regarding the 14 inch Iron Pow Wok. I do not know the gauge but it is a fantastic wok. I have two. You do not want the wok so thick that it's difficult to manage on the stove. I have a 3rd wok that is a thicker gauge and I never use it. I'm 1/2 Asian and these woks are the real deal. Make sure to properly season/oil the wok before you use it. Mine are seasoned so well it's like they're Teflon coated.

I do not have a micrometer to measure. Just by eyeballing to a clear ruler I would estimate at least 1/16" (1.6 mm or greater). The no stick coating is fairly thick so metal a bit less. The Tiger website says similar model -T18U is 1.4 mm inner pot. That would be 14 gauge aluminum + coating. By touch it also seems really close to a 14 gauge sheet baking sheet. So it is likely 1.4 to 1.6 mm.

I'm sorry, I don't know. I had the box in came in until I used it for another Christmas package this year so I didn't have a place to check where it was made. I'd recommend a different teapot anyway. I'm glad I got mine on sale and didn't pay the retail price at which I saw it listed. The knob on top melted when the pot overheated several months ago and this week, the know came completely off the lid.

I am not sure what "grade" of stainless steel, but it is as good of a quality as my regular silverware. The pattern is almost the same too!

sorry that I cannot help. There is no indication anywhere as to what type of stainless steel this is.

I don't have means to measure but it is thick, probably 16 or 18 gauge. It is made of steel and very rugged. However it must be thoroughly dried after using, otherwise it may rust. I use mine everyday. Retains heat well.

6" diameter drip pan...5.5" coil diameter....good for small pots and pans, some 'medium' work fine...does a quick job of heating a standard whistling tea pot.....excellent for the tiny amount of money it costs....used daily

Maybe a 32nd of an inch thickness on the bottom. It says it is stainless steel. Oh, and the handle is rigid. No movement. It does whistle when it's boiling. I'd post a pic next to my hand if I could to show how tiny it is.

the Bialetti Venus is made in Italy. There is no indication of gauge and I suspect the base is slightly thicker than the pot body. Both are very sturdy without being excessively thick. This is not thin, light SS.

Daniels,I didn't check the actual gauge of the stainless, however in my opinion, it's ok for the purpose. It is a satin finish, and a good value for this product, however it's not a heavy highly polished stainless steel sink that may sell for $600 or more.

I don't know. It appears that the pot is made of mild steel. I would call the manufacture.

Love the teapot and it is approximately 36 oz capacity. There is a little more room but 36 oz is my comfort level.

Randy H. I am so sorry for my previous post. I gave the Lindy 47444-7 pot as a gift and ordered the Demeyere Resto 6.3-qt. Stainless Steel Tea Kettle for myself. That is the one I tested here at home-it is induction ready and by the way a fantastic teapot. The Lindy pot is not in my possession. I am so very sorry for the mix up.
