Stainless composition: What is the amount of nickel in the stainless steel?

You would have to contact the manufacturer for that information. If made in China they would probably ignore you. Good Luck.

I don't think so. It is induction-ready, which usually means 18/0 stainless--no nickel. It's really the chromium, not the nickel, which provides the stainless quality. The nickel just gives a lighter color that looks more like silver. It's generally used for knives, forks and spoons, which (at least in some houses) used to be made of silver.

Stainless Steel. They are resistant to mild acids as found in berries and mild abrasives which would mark aluminum.

I can't say what it is made of but I do know if it has any nickel in it I couldn't use it. I do use it everyday so I can safely tell you, no nickel present. I hope this helps.Margaret

I got stainless or brushed nickel. Love this faucet and soap dispenser. Delta's customer service is amazing because my soap dispenser broke and they sent me a new one without any hassling. Amazing!

I don't know. I do know that it seems like excellent high quality good weight stainless steel. I am very happy with it. It is the perfect size and very well-designed.

Sorry, but I cannot comment on the alloy ratios or the molecular migration of such,we are talking very fine cookware here and I enjoy using it and am very pleased with the design and finish.

I'm not sure. We have not used ours yet because it is slightly small for our pan. It does appear to be stainless but we bought another brand.

According to the manufacturer's web site, the Stainless Steel trays are "constructed with 100% 304 stainless steel, 1/4 inch square mesh." 304 Stainless Steel is 18/8 Stainless Steel (= AISI USA 304 Stainless Steel or 1.4301 European Standard BSEN 10088). When I spoke with the manufacturer directly, they said that both the Stainless Steel trays and the Stainless Steel outside panels use "5-4" Stainless Steel. I am not familiar with this Stainless Steel designation, and the manufacturer could not provide any more detail. Given that the Excalibur web site states that the trays are 304 Stainless (18/8), it's likely that the outside panels are 18/8 Stainless Steel as well.

I have the polished chrome which shines and is different than the brushed nickel. I don't know about stainless. I thought it had a shine too.

I actually don't know what additional materials they are made out of. My guess is that "stainless steel" is an industry term to indicate a percentage, and that there are other impurities that go into it too, and it seems that the manufacturer has chosen to use cheaper materials? Just a ballpark guess.Was far from impressed.

No, it is not. Just spoke to Cuisinart and was told it was not 18/10. The representative did not volunteer what combo it is and I didn't ask. Her comment was, of course, that it didn't matter. Well because I've decided to research this metal business more in-depth, I called Cuisinart again and specifically asked what is the percentage of chromium/nickel. This time I was told 18/10. When I asked her which of the two Cuisinart representatives is correct, she said she would have someone call me in 3 to 5 days. The second representative added that the percentages are listed on the bottom of the pan. Don't know since I don't own the set. My old Cuisinart pans do not have the percentage on them.

1 - ANY stainless steel will not work. Many Stainless Steel Alloys are non-magnetic. That's why you don't see many children's pictures on stainless steel refrigerators. Its not that they don't love their kids, they just put the drawings somewhere magnetic!2 - 18/8 does not refer to the gauge. 18/8 is the composition of the metal: 18% chromium/8% nickel alloy. Gauge refers to the thickness of the steel and is only one number, typically and even number, i.e. 14 gauge or 16 gauge. also the lower the number, the thicker the steel. Any drill can make holes, i'd suggest a drive to a hardware store (big blue, green or orange) with a magnet and see what they got. Ask someone to help. 1 - ANY stainless steel will not work.

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.

There are many stainless alloys. Those that are very shiny contain more chromium. Those that are less shiny, to a bright gray are probably 303 stainless which is slightly magnetic, more heat stabile than other alloys, as well as more durable. This may well be a better product than some of the more costly ones.

I have no idea. But it is BLACK, so if you want your stainless steel to be anything but black, I would not recommend it.
