What grade of stainless steel is this tray?

The label does not include the grade of stainless steel. But it does seem to be a bit on the thin side.

In an answer to a similar question, the seller says they're type 201, a common SS alloy used for cooking/culinary utensils.

There are no marking's on these but it would take a bit of effort to bend them. I intend to use them for camping and I think for that they will work great and last a long time.

I don't know- no marking to that effect- however, the stainless material seems to be quite thick and sturdy and denting and scratching has not been an issue despite normal amount of daily abuse. Definitely does not feel flimsy like some low-end metal appliances. Outer surface is nice brushed satin, inner surface is polished.

I do not know; I gave this as a stocking stuffer for Christmas! I have a different brand from this one and I tried it; it is not magnetic. My husband informed me the higher grade stainless steel the less magnetic it will be. Sorry I could not be more help.

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.

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 have enjoyed a bistro set like these with Hampton label for about 20 yrs. The Nikita version looks and feels the same--both made in China. As with the other, label indicates 18/8 stainless steel. I have been using the Nikitas everyday since purchased and have an unused spare set. Can't tell the used from those not used--no sign of rust. No special care given. Worth giving a try!

It's all stainless steel, I believe. The tray appears to be. I've had it over one year, and it's never rusted.

It doesn't specify but they are almost certainly 18/0 rather than 18/10. That is the cheapest stainless grade NSF will certify.

The box says "professional grade stainless" but no specifics. I have been more than pleased with the steamer as I use it at least once a week.

I am a machinist and it is made from stainless steel. A magnet will not stick. I believe the grade is 18-8 stainless ( surgical stainless)

It's 18/0, so will tend to discolor and rust a bit. Get 18/10 stainless for the best rust resistance

Hi Dave, Good question. It's Stainless steel. In fact, it's 304 stainless steel. Here is a quick read about 304 Stainless: Grade 304 is the standard "18/8" stainless; it is the most versatile and most widely used stainless steel, available in a wider range of products, forms and finishes than any other. It has excellent forming and welding characteristics. The balanced austenitic structure of Grade 304 enables it to be severely deep drawn without intermediate annealing, which has made this grade dominant in the manufacture of drawn stainless parts such as sinks, hollow-ware and saucepans. I hope that answers your question. Thanks! Michael Weir Kitchen-Classics

The ice trays are stainless steel and I have enjoyed them. Occasionally you have to run water on the back of the tray to help loosen the ice but overall it has been a great product and I am pleased.

Stainless steel. I've used mine many times, and see no evidence of rust/corrosion. The stainless is probably 200 grade, though this is a guess. The 200 series of stainless steel use some manganese instead of nickel and are not strongly resistant to corrosion but quite adequate for food containers/pots. It is magnetic but many grades of stainless steel are. I'm very happy with mine. Sorry, Great Grandma, it appears to be SS to me. I prefer not to use chromium plated stuff as the chrome can crack off. There are less chrome plated steel these days because of the recent development where the Chinese discovered a way to utilize nickel laterite iron ore. This is iron ore that contains about 7-10% nickel which formerly was impossible to use. The Chinese have discovered how to use it so SS has become cheaper and more utilized. Chrome plated racks usually show rust at the edges, my rack shows zero rust and lacks the brightness of chrome also. It could be that some are stainless and some are chrome plated?

The inner pot is too light weight to be stainless steel. It may be aluminum that has a special coating on it. The upper tray I believe is uncoated aluminum.
