I do not know if it is 18/10. I do know it is tri-ply. You can ask the Secura company who makes Duxtop @ www.secura.com. They answer emails very quickly. Also, you can read a good review @ www.cookware-reviews.com/duxtop-cookware.

I emailed Secura 12/22/14 and here is their answer from 12/23/14: Thank you for contacting us about your duxtop 10pc cookware set. You are correct about the material used. The inner layer is 18/10 stainless steel, the outer layer is 18/0 stainless steel so that the pots are induction compatible. Please feel free to contact us again if you have other questions. (I emailed customercare@thesecura.com)

I believe it is 18/10 gauge. It is heavy stainless steel the aluminum clad bottom for even heat disbursement while cooking. It is very nice stainless cookware for the price.

Yes, this is a high quality set of cookware. 100% stainless steel. Very thick bottoms, better than my home set.

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.

Short answer: No. Longer answer/reason: Induction cooking requires "ferromagnetic" (iron-based magnetic) cookware. Stainless steel 18/10 is iron-based, because the alloy is based on steel, but the numbers "18/10" refer to 18% chromium and 10% nickel in the alloy. Adding chromium makes it "stainless" and adding nickel makes it nonmagnetic. "Stainless steel 18/0" is magnetic (because it contains no nickel) and will work on an induction cooktop, but 18/10 is a much better grade of stainless steel. Some cookware is "stainless steel clad," meaning the stainless steel covers both sides of a different metal on the bottom. The bottom of this pot has an aluminum "core," which means the stainless steel is "clad" over a disk of aluminum. Aluminum is used on the bottom because it transfers heat much better than stainless steel, but since it is also nonmagnetic, it will not make it "induction ready." Some stainless steel clad cookware has a "core" of regular steel, which is magnetic, and those would be able to be used on an induction cooktop. For example, this one specifically states "induction ready": http://www.webstaurantstore.com/8-qt-stainless-steel-clad-double-boiler/922SDB8.html?utm_source=Amazon In general, if a magnet sticks to the bottom of a pot, it can be used on an induction cooktop; if it doesn't, it can't. Comment on other responses: Why are people who don't know the answer to a question compelled to "answer" the question with "I don't know" or worse, "I have no idea what you're talking about"? MILLIONS of people don't know the answer to the question, but you don't see them all of THEM chiming in with "I don't know," do you? Clue: If you don't know the answer to a question, simply DON'T RESPOND. Posting a nonsensical response does not help the questioner, and you're only broadcasting to the world how ignorant you are!

I believe this stainless is 18/10. I can't be sure because I'm in the middle of a move and all my paperwork -- and the pans themselves -- are packed away for a few months. But they do have a respectable nickel content. The pans themselves have proven to be excellent at resisting all kinds of stains in the time I've owned them.

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.

It is NOT! Keep in mind 18/0 will rust almost immediately.. hense why so cheap. Always get 18/10 in whatever silverware you get!!

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.

It's odd that 18/10 isn't listed in the specs, since that would be a major selling point. Is it stamped on the utensils?

Yes it is, Its marked induction symble with all the other modes of cooking on the bottoms of the pans as well. It's also states that it is 18-10 stainless even if it failed to mention it in the discription. It all on the botton of the pans look at the pictures provided. Plus there countless people says they are using on glass tops as well as PIC portable cooktops etc. and having great results. Thanks have a good day.

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.

No, it is the original. Just that the production is in China. All the steel is still German steel. No problems at all so far with these. Absolutely awesome cookware.

It looks like 18/0. I love this silverware and bought it for both of my sons. Nice weight, very balanced and cleans up well.

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!

On another web site (Wayfair) it states the gauge is 18-10 for the Cuisinart 77-11 and 77-10 cook sets.

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.
