Is the stainless steel 18/8 or 18/10?

Ken, I looked at the back of the spoons but the only thing it said was "stainless steel".

I am sorry I don't know. I gave it away as a gift. It was a lovely, heavy duty set. Impressive.

The set we just received is stamped only "STAINLESS STEEL Cuisipro" on the back. The paper hang tag says "Made in India. Designed in Canada."

You are comparing apples to hippopotamuses. The "25/10" used by one manufacturer of Laguile-style knives refers to the blades' dimensions. "18/10" used to describe stainless steel refers to the metallic content of the steel alloy. They have nothing to do with each other.

It is 18/10. I will also add that it is solidly made and not a cheap looking item at all. The mesh is ultra fine and well secured with a neat stainless rim as you can see in the picture. Again, this is a very fine mesh so perfect for skimming soups, etc. which is how I use it. I keep my utensils hanging from stainless bars and this is attractive enough for me to hang there as well. So far, I'm very pleased with it.

25/10 is what is promised, and you know it by the scalloped engraving along the spine of the knife (and it is NOT serrated). 18/10 means 1.8 MM instead of 25 MM. It is a lighter, thinner blade and not worth 100 per set!

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!

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.

Yes it is stainless steel - 304 Grade (18/8). The first number,18, refers to the amount of chromium present and the second represents the amount of nickel. 304 grade can have 18-20% chromium and 8% nickel. It is the most common stainless steel used in the food prep / kitchen utensil market. Hope that helps, Don (co-founder Schefs)

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

18/10 stainless steel has 18 percent chromium and 10 percent nickel content. Stainless steel differs from carbon steel by the amount of chromium present.

I don't know if it is 18/10 stainless steel, but I've had mine for over 2 years and have washed it numerous times and there is no sign of rust.

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

18/10 stainless means that there is 10% nickle in the "mix." Stainless has chromium in it, but without the nickle is more apt to discolor. High end cookware uses 18/10 stainless.

I have been using this 3 piece set for over a year and I am quite satisfied. The inner part of the casserole is made of good quality of stainless steel. Not sure on your 18/8 parameter.

I checked the bottom of my kettle and found "K18". Not sure if this means it is 18/10 Stainless. It is made in China. My friend in Seattle ordered the same kettle in the same week and has had no signs of rust. Overall, I am still pleased with my purchase.

I do not know that 18/20 stainless steel or not. But this cooking pot is shiny and easy to clean and cook fast.

You probably mean what's the alloy composition. "18/10" isn't a "gauge" it's a description of a metal content of a particular class of stainless steel.
