I've read the steel pot is thin and flimsy? Is the pot 100% stainless steel, marked 18/10 or 18/8?

It is not marked, but the pot is not flimsy at all. It is very heavy and cleans nicely with a plastic scrubby! I have had mine over a year, and it has been through the dishwasher a hundred, still looks brand new!

I am not sure as to the exact gauge on the pot. However, it seems pretty durable, but I would say that it could use a little more thickness. I don't think it should have issues with bending etc, but over time I could see some issues.

It means the grade of stainless steel the pan is made from and the weight of the stainless steel.18/10 is a very good grade of stainless.

I can't tell you if they are 18/10, but the pots and lids are stainless steel.

Its 'says'/claims to be completely stainless steel; its the reason I bought this one. I am Sensitive to Nickel/aluminum and haven't had ANY issues with this cute pot. Hope this helps.

The inside pot is stainless, the heating device is not included. Only the pot is sold as shown in the picture.

It's stainless steel, you can't go wrong. We let the entire pot get black with coffee stain (lazy); came back beautiful with an SOS pad and some elbow grease...elbows ain't what they used to be. Hope this helped.

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.

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.

Mine is Stainless Steel. If you have metal flakes they can be accidentally coming from outside sources. All Pots and Pans require to be washed with soapy water and rinsed and dried thoroughly before use. That's a rule of thumb. (The metal flakes can also come from the electronic parts during the assembly.) It's your job to clean the pot before use, thereafter there should be no metal flakes. There's a real simple way to determine whether SS or Chrome, so you never have to ask again Take a magnet from your frig note holder (any magnet) if it doesn't stick its excellent Stainless. Which is called food Stainless and doesn't rust. Cheaper Stainless has less Zinc and can hold a light magnet. Usually found in outside BBQ's they sell as Stainless but is crap Stainless and will ultimately rust (usually spotted rust marks). Zink is very very expensive, so only the best Stainless contains the right amount of Zinc. If a magnet sticks like glue, then its metal, or chromed metal. Keep that in mind. (There various types of Stainless, only Food Stainless is of the highest grade.) Non Food such as an Outside Bar-B-Q is usually junk Stainless, You have to buy a Weber to get better Stainless, of course the price is higher, but will last you a lifetime. Stainless isn't Stainless on average items, and magnet test will help identify the quality.

I don't know, but I have owned it for about a month and love it. I use stainless for all my cooking having been scared by all the hype of aluminum and Alzheimer's. This pan is a good weight and the two handles make it easy to handle. The dishwasher cleans it well after a cursory scouring with a scratchy pad. I think the manufacturer specs would list the 18/10 issue question answer.

I have every reason to believe it is stainless steel. No marking on it to back me up, but the weight of it compared to the weight of aluminum has me convinced it is stainless steel! I still love this coffe pot! I sold my electric one at the garage sale a few months ago!

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!

All my pans and pots are stainless steel. Cooking at times for someone else in her house using her non stick coated cookware I would just guess that they weigh about the same. The contemporary stainless steel is maybe a touch lighter. Easy to lift, but heavy enough for pot roast and easy to clean.

No, it's stainless steel. There is no coating that can scrap off or flake off. Mine hasn't pitted either. I have a whole set of this cookware. It amazes me how easy it is to clean. I'm very happy with this pot.
