are they 18/10 stainless steel?

We never got a clear answer on that. One article I read said that they were and I believe it also said it on the invoice that we got---but it is not printed anywhere on the silverware itself. I will say that this is probably the best set of silverware I have ever owned. It is beautiful, just the right weight and it washes well in the dishwasher (although it was advised not to use any kind of dishwasher detergent with lemon in it.) I can't say enough good things about this silverware. We looked at many different brands/styles before ordering this and compared to what's out there--we love it! We never got a clear answer on that.

If you go to the reedandbarton website, the company itself makes no claim that this style is 18/10. It merely describes Addison as 18 chromium, which means it likely has no nickel, which means the set is likely 18/0 stainless. This will corrode and rust. 18/10 is always imprinted on the flatware if it is 18/10. Buyer beware!

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.

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.

No, 18-10 is not stamped on that pot nor on any of the other Emeril stainless cookware we own. We do certainly like how it performs in the kitchen.

I don't believe they are. They are stainless steel and no where did I see that they were full tang

Yes - it is 18/10. That is what I was looking for when purchasing and I just double-checked it against descriptions on the internet, which indicate 18/10.

I'm sorry but I don't know. But I am very happy with it.. Check on Amazon, it should say. I just checked the web site and it's 18-10 stainless steel.

The first number is always "18" so by itself, it means nothing. 18/10 is high-quality rust resistant and not magnetic. 18/0 is less "stainless" but it is magnetic and works on induction hobs. Often, with a multi-ply pan, the inner layer will be 18/10 for stain resistance and the outer layer will be 18/0 to work on induction hobs (the layer in between would be aluminum or copper.

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.

Yes, these are stainless steel. Since buying them, none of the pourers have rusted or fallen apart.

I cannot tell if it is 18/10, but it is stainless steel and it is a fairly thick rigid. It is a very solid unit and it works very well. We really like it. I hope this helps.

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.

I do not know but believe it is not 18/10. Mine rusted badly in less than 3 months. The steel is weakly attracted to a magnet, a sure sign it's not 18/10. Possibly it's 18/8 and in a humid environment 18/8 will rust. The 18/10 alloy they should have used on this it type 316, it's typically used in marine environments and its base Ni/Cr is 18/10 but it has a significant amount of molybdenum in the alloy. Type 316 is often called surgical steel. I doubt if the manufacturer knows the alloy. If you just spec "stainless steel" 18/8 is about the best you might get.

The first number in 18/10 stainless steel refers to the percentage of the alloy that is made up of chromium. In order to be considered stainless steel at all, that number must be at least 10.5%. A higher value of chromium means that the protective layer will be thicker and will repair itself more quickly if damaged. Therefore, 18/10 stainless steel has a high level of chromium, and will be more resistant to staining and corrosion. The second number in 18/10 stainless steel refers to the percentage of nickel in the cookware. Although 18/8 also indicates high quality stainless steel cookware, the higher both numbers are, the better the cookware. above information quoted from: http://www.only-cookware.com/what_is_18_10_stainless_steel_cookware.html Also, the whistle does work, but you really have to boil the water excessively. not a problem for me. I just listen for the water and turn off the heat when it is ready. We are very happy with our tea pot. We use it multiple times a day and it is holding up well.

They are stainless and the diameter is that of a normal drinking straw. Mine are bent. Wish they were a little longer.

The bottom of mine says 6.00T/5.7L which may be another way to say 18/10 stainless steel. Mine is stamped stainless steel as well. I LOVE mine and would recommend it to anyone. It is very well made and is beautiful! Perfect for soups, pasta, corn.

I ordered them in November 2014 and they are marked 18/10. They are a nice weight - not lightweight or flimsy. The finish is very shiny and overall they are perfect for my need for a few extras before needing to run the dishwasher.
