I have the Gorham Melon Bud 18/8 style. How does the 18/10 compare?

To me, they are a bit lighter in the hand, but for the price I was very pleased to have made the purchase. Mine are now all mixed together and I am probably the only one that could tell the older ones from the new.

I did not own the original Melon Bud. I bought the Melon Bud II to replace an older Gorham pattern. You won't be disappointed. The MB II is heavy weight and the knives are not hollow.

No difference. Same quality -can't tell old from new except for printed logo.

Both have good flavor. I just think the flavor of Gravy Master is better. I've given up on the small bottles and have started buying the 28 oz size. I bought both Kitchen Bouquet and Gravy Master and give the KB to my sister. I always used GM in my early married years and I still like it best.

Yes, it is 18/10. I have had this set for over a year now and it is still gorgeous!

Google reviews -- a lot have shown up on B&H's Website, and some even include full comparisons of the 10-18 vs the 10-22. Based on the reviews I've read, there's less barrel distortion and higher IQ with the 10-18mm in comparison to the 10-22mm (and at half the price).

The proportions of this cutlery is truly beautiful. The weight feels perfect. I own both the Melon Bud 1 which I purchased 27 years ago as well as the Melon Bud II which I bought to augment my first set. They look extremely similar. I love how the back is totally finished off.

It doesn't say 18/10 anywhere that I can find. The mesh is 7.25" dia, and the rim is 8.25" dia. Approx. 5" deep with the feet.

Huge difference 18/10 is better stainless, the Cocoa Blossom is a quality set without breaking the bank for everyday use

I received two colanders marked 18/8. I have read, however, there is really no difference in the two- 18/8 v 18/10.

Hello Glenna, I know that the Ginkgo Lafayette flatware is/was 18/10, which is a superb strong mix of metal. I'm not sure exactly what 18/0 is. To find that out, I'd do a google search on 18/0 versus 18/10. Perhaps they're one in the same, but I've not heard that, so to ease my mind, I would want to know exactly what 18/0 is. Hope that helps. Sherrye

Can't answer that I've never had an 18.5. I will say the 14.5 is excellent for my purposes, normally cooking for two but can cook enough meat for up to 8 folks. Great little smoker one of the best I have ever used.

My grinder has settings 0-40. Mine is set on 18. So basically a medium setting.

I would go with the 18 1/2 just for extra room. A small turkey like you would deep fry would probably be ok but anything larger and you might not get great airflow around the bird. Beer can chicken fits nicely- baby back ribs have to be cut in half and each one placed on a separate rack to fit. Nice little smoker to learn on and cook for small groups.

If it does not state on the packaging and you don't have an 8 oz. to compare, my suggestion is to go to a big box store and touch and carry it. You will noticed the big difference, the 10 oz is much heavier and tough to the touch like a canvas. The 8 oz. is more soft to the touch and flexible. After you have made the touch test, for painting, I don't think you'll go for the 8 oz.

I agree with you. My 8 quart was dull and lacked shine when compared to my 6 quart. In addition, it seemed slightly a bit thinner material.

I do 18g on a medium grind (7 clicks from tightest setting) and it doesn't take more than a minute. I can time it next time I use it.EDIT 9/18/14: I timed it and 18g took 60 seconds.
