Not sure of the thicknesss but it feels very thin. The bottom of the pan is pitted after minimal use. I would not buy again.

I use this steamer a lot and love it. However, the description says "high quality stainless steel; NSF approved" but not see specifically 18/10 stainless steel. You may want to try Tramontina 18/10 Stainless Steel 4-Piece 3-Quart Steamer/Double-Boiler for about the same price. Thanks!

No, It's made of 304 surgical ss, which is 18/8. I believe 316 is 18/10. Both are great alternatives to just about all other cookware on the market. Hope this helps.

I believe it is 18/10 gauge. It is heavy stainless steel the aluminum clad bottom for even heat disbursement while cooking. It is very nice stainless cookware for the price.

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.

I went to Google to find their location in Fairfield, CA, for you and called them @ 1-707-453-0620. They had to get back to me, but yes, they are 18/10 stainless steel. They are engraved with the sizes for permanance. They don't rust, they measure accurately, and they work fine.

What a great question! I was very upset for not researching that before I bought, but I have researched and found it to be Stainless Steel!

You probably mean what's the alloy composition. "18/10" isn't a "gauge" it's a description of a metal content of a particular class of stainless steel.

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!!

Yep, mine appears to be all stainless (the base is actually stamped 18/10 grade), with the exception of the brass (I believe) pressure relief fitting inside and the silicone seal/gasket between the top and bottom halves. I'm totally against aluminum for cooking, which was the main reason I selected this Cuisinox model. I've used and washed mine hundreds of times since the day I purchased it and it shows no signs of rust or corrosion. It reminds me every morning, that it is one of a very few products I own where the feeling of quality still has not worn off. I've never even replaced the silicone seal on it. Great product period.

if it isn't it is as good as 18/10! I am pretty sure it was advertised as being 18/10 but when I just checked the bottom of my boilers it doesn't specify.I have hadmy set for 3 years and have since purchased an additional set for myself and 2 sets for my daughter.

Yes, it is stamped 18/10 Stainless Steel rostfrei (German for rust free). It t is a very heavy top quality pan. We are very happy with our choice.

The larger 20-qt stock pot by this same manufacturer and sold under the same "Professional Commercial Grade" description (http://www.amazon.com/Professional-Commercial-Stainless-Induction-Certified/dp/B003HMH60K/ref=pd_bxgy_k_img_y) is noted as being 18/8 stainless. While not proof that this one is, perhaps it's a safe bet for your purposes.

I'm not sure if it is 18/0 or 18/10 however we run these sheets through the dishwasher and have not had any issue with rust or corrosion. We have had them about a year or more. I will mention that I find this sheets a bit thin. I had two stainless sheets for many years which were much heavier.

Hello,Yes, the rack is 18/10 stainless steel as well as the lid and base. Unfortunately, we are out of the size you are asking for. The 8 quart size is available. Our website will be updated in 24 hours to show there is none in stock of the 12 quart size. We receive shipments weekly so please check our website again for quantities. Thank you Ann

On the bottom of the pan I see the inscription, "STAINLESS STEEL". No further stipulation is made, so I don't know if it is 18/10.

Interesting. I contacted the manufacturer directly and they state that it should be genuine stainless steel, which of course would never rust. Their answer to the rust comments was that it was more likely mineral build-up confused as rust. I think most thinking adults, however, know the difference. Anyway, finding anything of quality at any price is harder and harder these days.

Yes, it is. Google item name and model number, and 18/10 stainless and you will find references.
