What is the finesse of the stainless steel? Is this stock pot 18/10? or 18/8?

I contacted Farberware about product 70755 and here is their answer:"Yes we manufacture are stainless steel to be 18/0 so it can be induction stovetop suitable."

I checked the box, the pot and the Farberware website adn was unable to obtain this information without actually calling their contact numbers.However, I must say I am happy with the pot, it is heavy and I have not had a scorching/burning problem with any of the foods I have cooked in it.

18/10 appears to refer to the stainless steel metal content. 18/10 is on the box for my tea kettle, but mine also says model 9093. I would say it probably will fit.

I forget how I checked it out but my finding was that it is 18/10. It is a great pan well worth the price.

The box reads 18/10 stainless steel interior, 26/0 stainless steel exterior. 1050 aluminum alloy core. I love this pot! Hope this helps.

I have not taken an actual measurement of this, but can say that it is pretty close if not exactly 20. I cooked down turkey broth and ended up canning 13 quarts and I think that by the time the stock cooked down, it was a little over half of the pot in volume. Otherwise, I can say that I have been very pleased with it. It is a good, heavy pot.

The wife sent it back because it was too big... so I don't know. She did keep the sauce pot and it was the same circumference (10") but only 5" high. The stock pot you are asking about was much taller. Hope that helps...

That is a valid question and one I had failed to address. I am very happy with the quality and that it is multiclad all the way up the sides; it cooks very evenly. No where on the exterior is it stamped 18/10. I found a website that may be of help to you: http://www.finishing.com/292/94.shtml Please cut/paste into your browser bar to learn more.

My mistake. I thought the ad stated 18/10 stainless. And because of the weight of the pan, I assumed it was. 18/10 versus 18/0 is only the difference between the amount of Nickel added to the steel. Nickel gives it the brilliant shine and resists rust, so the more nickel, the more the shine and the ability to clean up easier. 18 (chromium) and 10(nickel). It is still a great pan for the price. The 13T is some sort of allow measurement, so I'm not sure why it is stamped on the plate. Hopefully, this helps. You might want to research the manufacturer of the pan for more info.

This is 304 = 18/8 stainless steel it is good for storage. The highest grade is 18/10 which is better for cooking. I found some 18/10 in the camping section that can be used for both storage and cooking.

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.

Sorry I can't give you an answer to this question because I don't own Le Creuset, but I can tell you All Clad stainless 8 quart stockpot is the best stockpot I have ever had.

Robspeed is correct, they are T304 stainless steel which is 18/8. They're great pans, quite heavy,even heating, easy to clean. I love them!

If you are talking about how think the stainless steal is I guess I would guess no more than 1/8". It's like any stainless steel pot as far as thickness if that helps.

It is 18/10. I will also add that it is solidly made and not a cheap looking item at all. The mesh is ultra fine and well secured with a neat stainless rim as you can see in the picture. Again, this is a very fine mesh so perfect for skimming soups, etc. which is how I use it. I keep my utensils hanging from stainless bars and this is attractive enough for me to hang there as well. So far, I'm very pleased with it.

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.

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.
