how does 18/0 compare to 18/10?

Hello Glenna, I know that the Ginkgo Lafayette flatware is/was 18/10, which is a superb strong mix of metal. I'm not sure exactly what 18/0 is. To find that out, I'd do a google search on 18/0 versus 18/10. Perhaps they're one in the same, but I've not heard that, so to ease my mind, I would want to know exactly what 18/0 is. Hope that helps. Sherrye

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 doesn't say 18/10 anywhere that I can find. The mesh is 7.25" dia, and the rim is 8.25" dia. Approx. 5" deep with the feet.

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.

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 18.5 is without the 'leaf' up. That gives you an additional 12 inches when that is also up.

Yes, it is 18/10. I have had this set for over a year now and it is still gorgeous!

The 18/10 I believe would not be magnetic due to the 10 parts nickel. If it is magnetic then it has less nickel but not necessarily 18/0 or no nickel.

I have the 10-100mm, the 10-30mm, and the 18.5mm. The 10-100mm came with my camera, and I purchased the 10-30mm separately. I end up using the 10-30 more often because of the light weight, and I can stick it in my handbag. The 10-100mm I pull out for landscapes, etc and I have a polarizer on that one. I guess the 2 of them are somewhat redundant, but I like having both, and for me they serve different purposes. The 18.5 is great for portraits and detail, it's super fast.

I personally would go with the 18-105mm. It is more "flexible." Hope this helps.

That would depend on exactly what you plan on shooting, I find the 18 -135 a lot more useful. You have the same low end of 18 but the 135 give you a lot more versatility on the high end.

On the bottom of the pan I see the inscription, "STAINLESS STEEL". No further stipulation is made, so I don't know if it is 18/10.

My canvas was the typical 18. A 20 will just give you a seat that is less taut

I own both. In terms of sharpness and optical quality, they are about the same. As already mentioned, the difference in focal lengths is significant. The 12/2.0 is more useful for landscapes and shooting in confined spaces. The 17/1.8 is better for street photography and portraiture.

18/10 weight refers to the nickel content of the stainless steel. 18/10 will not rust unlike 18/0 stainless that will rust if not cared for properly. 18/10 is not magnetic, whole 18/0 is. Induction cooking refers to cooking without heating the pan or pot, only the contents. Since aluminum cookware does not contain any steel, they will not work, the unit will shut down,

According to the Gourmet Settings website for this product it is 18/10. You can find the discussion under Flatware 101 at the bottom of their site.
