Are all the items really 18/10 stainless steel?

Well, I am neither a chemist, nor a metallurgist, the only ppl who might be able to definitively answer your question. FWIW, I have mixed in my drawers a total of five sets of these (it's complicated) and through 4 years of hand and machine washing, mine show no signs of rust or discoloration. Love this stuff.

I didn't have them taken to a lab for analysis or anything, but yes, "18/10" is stamped on the back. They are beautiful with a nice weight to them. The Non Stop set has a beautiful brushed finish, which I like much better than the super shiny finish some of their other sets have, so maybe it doesn't photograph as though it's stainless steel.

I have no idea how to tell if they are 18/10, however I can tell you I am very pleased with mine. They dont rust and the shape is unique

I don't think so. The packaging states they are 18/chrome (whatever that is) instead of 18/10 stainless steel. Also they are stamped 18/C (again, whatever that is) and not stamped 18/10. I returned mine because the website information does not match the packaging or the stamp on the utensils.

YES, they are marked as: Reed & Barton Stainless-China, but are also marked as 18/10 quality.

Cups are stainless steel, not sure about the 18/10. Can say that I don't think the handles are as gutsy as I had hoped. They bend easily when digging in flour or other dense indredients.

I don't think so...I have a set from my wedding 16 years ago and it is marked "18/10 stainless" on the handles. These new ones are just marked "stainless steel" and have a bit of a lighter weight than the older ones. Not a significant difference from the old ones though and the pattern is exactly the same.

I do not believe it is. I believe it is 18/0 instead. This does work well for the price though.

I believe it refers to gauge/weight of the stainless steel.18/10 is a good grade.

Yes it is 18/8 premium grade stainless steel. You will not be Disappointed with the quality of this pot. My last two brews session have been in my backyard on my burner at temperatures under 20 and it holds the heat perfect!

I checked the bottom of my kettle and found "K18". Not sure if this means it is 18/10 Stainless. It is made in China. My friend in Seattle ordered the same kettle in the same week and has had no signs of rust. Overall, I am still pleased with my purchase.

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.

If it does not say 18/10 Stainless, it is probably not really "stainless" but a cheap knockoff. The kettles available to Europeans are high quality, made in Belgium or Germany, while "American" kettles are shoddy Chinese products with plastic and other cheap materials. Right now, I'm waiting on an email return from Russell Hobbs to see what I would need to do to use a European kettle in this country. In America, we keep buying throw-away crap and wonder why vendors keep selling it (duh - because we buy it). Europeans are protected by their governments from shoddy products - products must meet higher standards there.

I believe they are 16 gauge stainless steel which is better than 18 gauge. Very sturdy and sharp. excellent value. pull the trigger. you won't be sorry.

There is no such thing as "25/10" stainless steel. That refers to the dimensions of the blade. 18/10 refers to the metallic content of one type of stainless steel itself.

So very sorry that I do not know if the unit is made of 18/10 stainless steel. Please try to contact Excalibur for that type of answer, as it is not mentioned in the description. I can tell you that it is easy to keep clean and I've been extremely pleased with the purchase.
