What gauge is the stainless steel? I've seen some specify 18/8 or 18/10 making them comparable to better flatware. Any info on this appreciated.

The finish is 18/8; that is, the steel is 18% chromium and 8% nickel which, as you say, is a finish comparable to better flatware -- bright, hard to scratch, etc. As to the gauge, which is a measure of the thickness of the metal, I can't say -- but I can tell you that it is quite thick, heavy, and sturdy. It would take a heck of a lot to dent it!

the expanded product description says it is 18/8--page on down from amazon's brief description. i know it is a nice sturdy heavy weight--much nicer than the set it replaced.

They are stamped 18/8 s.s. on the back of the handles. They are a very nice heavy set of measuring cups (flat on the bottom of cup). I cant say enough good about them, they are well worth the money. I have no doubt they will last me a lifetime.

I use this steamer a lot and love it. However, the description says "high quality stainless steel; NSF approved" but not see specifically 18/10 stainless steel. You may want to try Tramontina 18/10 Stainless Steel 4-Piece 3-Quart Steamer/Double-Boiler for about the same price. Thanks!

The spoons I ordered are stamped 18-10 and feel the same weight as my other 18-10 spoons. Hope this helped.

absolutely. this is a high-quality flatware set. being 18/10 practically guarantees it. but, rest assured, they are 100% mirror finish on the back side...infact, they are gorgeous in every aspect. (and I'm extremely picky)

Hi Gail! I own this so Amazon asked me if I would respond to your question. :) It is 18/10 stainless, but due to the gold accent content, they recommend and I do hand wash only. It's so pretty, it's worth it though. Hope that helps!

I loved the look of these and ordered 2 sets after saw they were advertised as18/10 stainless. When they arrived I was very excited to begin using them. When I opened them i saw that they were very light weight. When I looked at the box I discovered that they were only 18/0 and very thin. I returned both boxes.

I've seen exactly this flatware the same brand the same quality in BedBathandBeyond but separately. The say that it's 18/10 for sure. I touched it - it looks and feel really great quality - polished and white. $2 a piece. But here it says that it's 18/0. I don't know what to do :(I think about to buy it - but not sure about official quality.

18/10. I am very pleased with the weight, balance and finish of this flatware. The one thing I had to get used to, is the deep "bowl" of the teaspoons. It is unlike what I had before but it is not a bad thing. Great purchase!

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.

I have no idea how to tell if they are 18/10, however I can tell you I am very pleased with mine. They dont rust and the shape is unique

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!

Sorry. I have no idea. I didn't know there were different grades. It seems plenty heavy enough. I read several years ago that there may be a connection to using aluminum and alzimers so I have changed to all stainless steel cookware.

gauge is 18/10. i am really happy with the silverware, and i am picky about weight and girth. I am about to write a note to Waterford though, the teaspoons are turning yellow. i am well aware not to use citrus based cleaners in my dishwasher, but they are still truning.

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.

Bialetti manufacturers website states that the stainless steel pots are 18/10 gauge.

Yes, mine is 18/8 also. For a technical description of the difference, see this site: http://www.finishing.com/292/94.shtml My take-away is that the 18/8 is more 'ductile' than the 18/10, meaning that it will bend more without cracking or breaking. The 18/10 is harder and will crack sooner under repeated flexing.

I'm not sure of the gauge, but it's pretty darned close to twice as thick as my vintage Revereware pots that I've had for 30 years. Hope that helps!
