What is the Chromium/Nickel content of the stainless? Also, where was it made? Thx.

It doesn't say on the item, but according to their website the designs are from USA and the stainless steel is manufactured in India

I am certainly no metallurgist, But this blade is listed as a 4116 "Stainless Steel". So to my knowledge, all Stainless Steel is made up of some type of Carbon and Chromium to prevent metal from getting corroded. Now the exact amounts of Carbon or type, I am not sure of. Lets do a Wiki on this... "4116 Stainless Steel: A fine grained, stainless steel produced by Germany's ThyssenKrupp. Often used for medical devices and food processing, the steels Carbon and Chromium content give it a great degree of corrosion resistance, as well as strength and edge retention. 4116 Stainless Steel has a Carbon Content between 0.42-0.55 and it's Chromium content is between 13.8-15." Hope that helps

I couldn't find any information in my booklet that mentioned magnetic-attracting stainless. What I did find is that this cookware is 304 surgical stainless steel. It says that stainless steel is a family of iron-base alloys made up of more than 50 different compositions, and that they are the elite of the world of commonly used alloys. Each member of this family has one thing in common: it contains at least 11-12% chromium. The 304 surgical stainless steel contains about 18% chromium and 8% nickel in addition to the iron. These are direct quotes from the instruction book for waterless cooking. I know this isn't what you asked, but it does tell what the nickel content is. I hope this helps.

sorry that I cannot help. There is no indication anywhere as to what type of stainless steel this is.

It is plastic and stainless. I thought they were made in the U.S., but I can't find proof of that now.

No, it is made in China. I think that just about all our stainless metal products, and stainless steel contains chromium and nickel, both which produce hazardous fumes when being cast or welded. Safety regulations won't allow it use in many places. All our chrome bumper shops, and chrome replating for other things when I was a kid, are EPA regulated out of existence at least in So. California. How many cars do you see with chrome bumpers today. I suspect the rest of the nation is the same with respect to regulations that put chromium using businesses out of business or make it so costly they wish they were out of the country. In spite of it having been made in China, it was nicely folded (bent into position) and the burrs that would have developed from drilling holes for ventilation have been polished smooth. It is a very well made and functional product. The metal is also heavy and does not warp. Hope this helps in your decision.

not stainless, but plated with what i am not sure. I do not think it is chromium. hope this helps

I don't think so. It is induction-ready, which usually means 18/0 stainless--no nickel. It's really the chromium, not the nickel, which provides the stainless quality. The nickel just gives a lighter color that looks more like silver. It's generally used for knives, forks and spoons, which (at least in some houses) used to be made of silver.

I do not live by the coast and have not had mine long, I can say only part of the metal is 304 stainless, the rest is a cheaper stainless that has more steel in it and will rust faster. Better chances lasting longer than most but then there always a $20,000 Kalamazoo. Anthony.

Sorry, threw away the packaging, but stamped on the back of the spoon is "Winco Stainless 18-10". Googling Winco wasn't much help either, except that it appears to be an international company. If I had to guess, I would say China, but that would be a guess.

It is a WMF design and product that has been made in Germany for a very long time. But WMF is now producing several products also in China. I do not know if it is their own factory or if they order companies to produce according to their specifications. And I do not know what products are being produced in China, but I do assume this one is also made in China. Cromargan has to do with the specifications of the stainless steel.

Yes, stainless. NOT made in the USA! The four I ordered are definitely lighter and thinner than my original Oneida. Not the same quality at all, though the appearance when flat on a table is very close.

we don't have the original box anymore, but I believe this product is now made in China based on German technology. I can tell you my son has had a set for about 4-5 months now and is quite happy. It's made from high grade 18/10 stainless steel, heavy duty, and shines like crazy. You won't see any rust or corrosion here like the cheaper grade SS.

I'm unsure what information you are wanting. There are well over 150 different grades of stainless steel and I doubt most people would know the percentage of chromium to steel outside of a chemist or someone in the stainless trade. I can say that this is a standard heavy commercial-grade stainless kitchen pot with a heavier steel bottom that will work on my induction stove. Because it works beautifully on the induction stove top, that is indicative that the base is slightly less 'stainless' and more 'steel'. However, the sides and top are pure commercial stainless with a satin finish. I have yet to have any scratches on any of the parts that have rusted and I use these pots on a daily basis. They were recommended to me by a professional 4-star chef who DOES know all the grades and tells me that this is a good one for standard or even commercial kitchen uses. I hope that helps you.

By definition, this is made of steel which is made of iron with carbon added. Stainless steel has a varying amount of nickel and chrome added for shine and durability. This says 18/0 SS which is 18% chrome and no nickel. Chrome is added for resistance to corrosion and hardness. Chromium is magnetic. Nickel is know to be slow to corrode as well and brings shine to a SS alloy. Nickel is also magnetic. All stainless steel is bound to be magnetic. If you have a cookie sheet that isn't magnetic, it's probably got a lot of aluminum in it. This sheet should be magnetic. Some folks hang new or retired cookie sheets for a bulletin board using magnets to hold up the paper, pictures and notes. By definition, this is made of steel which is made of iron with carbon added.
