What is the grade of the interior stainless steel? Is it 18/8 same as the 6 quart one?

I really don't know - sorry. You could check the website. It's very sturdy, whatever it is.

Mindy, I don't know the grade of the stainless steel but is is heavy duty and easy to clean.

I never thought to check. I can tell you that I use mine at least 4 or 5 times a week, sometimes twice a day and it looks and functions as good as new after a good 8 months use. I don't have a clue how I cooked without it.

They are 18 guage. While I do not know the grade of stainless, I do know they have held up well and are easy to care for. Plus, they were VERY inexpensive when I got them. I paid $26 for 2 sets! I suspect the low price was due to a few minor dents here and there. Still a great deal.

If it's magnetic, then it's NOT 18/10 stainless, as the description claims. According to metallurgists, only lesser grades of stainless are magnetic, due to the percentage of chromium,nickel, and molybdenum that makes up 18/10 Stainless Steel.

I believe it refers to gauge/weight of the stainless steel.18/10 is a good grade.

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!!

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.

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.

I have the 9 quart so I don't really know, but the 9 quart is not crazy big, and I am glad I got the bigger one. I am really happy with it, steams 3 items really fast and delicious. And the stainless is beautiful!

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.

im not sure of the grade, I can say it is higher than 308 stainless. its thickness is .020 or the same as 6 sheets of paper. , but is extremely resistant to bending. i have boiled water in mine over coals ( not open flame) many times. the bottom warped slightly , but no more than any pot of similar material and not enough to hinder the lid closing properly. i use mine as a wilderness kit and have been very pleased with it. slightly heavier than an aluminum but lasts much longer. hope this helped. if you have any more questions feel free to ask.

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.

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.

Look at the space you typically have between burners on your stove. The 8 quart might overly crowd the back burner, making it useless, where as the 6 won't.
