Is the metal 18/10 or 18/8?

Most likely too late for you but it is 18/10. Sorry it took me so long but I've been away

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.

18/0 refers to the percentages of chrome and nickel in the alloy used to make the flatware itself. Flatware usually comes in 18/10, 18/8, or 18/0. The chrome is added to enhance durability and resist corrosion and the nickel is used to give the flatware a soft sheen.

Yes - it is 18/10. That is what I was looking for when purchasing and I just double-checked it against descriptions on the internet, which indicate 18/10.

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.

Nothing is 18x18. Outer size is 30x24. Rough opening is about an inch smaller.Ours look great and work well.

18/10 appears to refer to the stainless steel metal content. 18/10 is on the box for my tea kettle, but mine also says model 9093. I would say it probably will fit.

I received two colanders marked 18/8. I have read, however, there is really no difference in the two- 18/8 v 18/10.

It says 18/8 in the product description. There are no markings that indicate the gauge on the bottom, but a magnet will stick to it without assistance.

Yeh, just received mine and it has "18/8" stamped on the base........hmmmmm.

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.

on the bottom of my pan it says 18/8. I think the pan is ok but I did end up having to buy a larger pan made by Denmark. Hope this helps

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.

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.

According to the Thunder Group website, it's listed as 18/8. The page can be found here: http://www.thundergroup.com/app/stx.productdetail.asp?did=2971

No, it is not. Just spoke to Cuisinart and was told it was not 18/10. The representative did not volunteer what combo it is and I didn't ask. Her comment was, of course, that it didn't matter. Well because I've decided to research this metal business more in-depth, I called Cuisinart again and specifically asked what is the percentage of chromium/nickel. This time I was told 18/10. When I asked her which of the two Cuisinart representatives is correct, she said she would have someone call me in 3 to 5 days. The second representative added that the percentages are listed on the bottom of the pan. Don't know since I don't own the set. My old Cuisinart pans do not have the percentage on them.
