What grade of stainless steel is this item (Is it 18/0, 18/8 or 18/10 etc.?)?

It doesn't say. It's heavy - looks nice and feels nice, but does NOT conduct heat! Pizza crusts are always soft when cooked on it. After the last time I used it, I vowed to NOT use it again. So not it's useless to me. Do you want mine for free?

I have no idea but I can tell you it is sturdy and does not warp or bend. I bought mine about a year ago so hopefully product will be the same. I just love mine and it cleans up easy too!

Not sure. They are heavy and well made. I have 3 kittens (almost cats now), who refuse to eat from separate dishes, so I had to find something big enough for all 3. These are perfect. Heavy enough to not slide all over the floor and come out beautiful from the dishwasher. Which means 3 happy kittens and a happy kitty mom.

Unfortunately it didn't say anything on the packaging. Sorry. The quality is very good.

I have been using this 3 piece set for over a year and I am quite satisfied. The inner part of the casserole is made of good quality of stainless steel. Not sure on your 18/8 parameter.

Even so it is not stamped, it is most likely an 18/10 stainless steel but likewise if it would be an 18/8 steel, the difference would be of no importance. Further to your information, the 18 stands for the Nickel contend while the 10 or 8 would be for the Chromium contend. In any case it is a top quality product.

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 WeirKitchen-Classics Hi Dave, Good question.

I am not sure what "grade" of stainless steel, but it is as good of a quality as my regular silverware. The pattern is almost the same too!

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

Robspeed is correct, they are T304 stainless steel which is 18/8. They're great pans, quite heavy,even heating, easy to clean. I love them!

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.

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.

It is 18/10. I will also add that it is solidly made and not a cheap looking item at all. The mesh is ultra fine and well secured with a neat stainless rim as you can see in the picture. Again, this is a very fine mesh so perfect for skimming soups, etc. which is how I use it. I keep my utensils hanging from stainless bars and this is attractive enough for me to hang there as well. So far, I'm very pleased with it.

I don't know if it is 18/10 stainless steel, but I've had mine for over 2 years and have washed it numerous times and there is no sign of rust.

Yes they are 18/10. I specifically bought this to prevent marks on our dinnerware. Anything less than 18/8 will mark any stoneware type dinner settings. Hope this helps.

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.
