Is the difference between the two irony stainless and pure stainless? If so I put a magnet to the pot and it doesn't seem to hold. Hope that helps.

It doesn't specify but they are almost certainly 18/0 rather than 18/10. That is the cheapest stainless grade NSF will certify.

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)

I believe it was 18/10 because it is a quality pot. 18/0 does not keep its shine as well as you can tell with cheap 18/0 flatware. I always look for 18/10 or better to buy.

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

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.

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,

That is a valid question and one I had failed to address. I am very happy with the quality and that it is multiclad all the way up the sides; it cooks very evenly. No where on the exterior is it stamped 18/10. I found a website that may be of help to you: http://www.finishing.com/292/94.shtml Please cut/paste into your browser bar to learn more.

The product is not 18/10 - it is actually 18/0 on the exterior with only a stainless 202 grade cooking surface. The 202 is about the cheapest quality stainless in use and is not generally accepted as cookware grade - It certainly is not professional grade. The 202 is prone to stains, rusting and easily scratches. Unlike true 18/10 these scratches will not self repair/seal.

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 am guessing 18/8, definitely not 18/0. The label doesn't say. I was looking for something comparable to my old revere ware bake pan and while this is perfectly functional, it is slightly smaller and the bottom of the pan flexes a little.

I'm not sure if it is 18/0 or 18/10 however we run these sheets through the dishwasher and have not had any issue with rust or corrosion. We have had them about a year or more. I will mention that I find this sheets a bit thin. I had two stainless sheets for many years which were much heavier.

I do not think so. Here is exactly what it says on the bottom of the pot. BTW, the inside of the pot has already started to "pit". "Cuisinart, Model #419-18P, Pour saucepan with cover, 2.0 L/1.9 L, Stainless Steel, V#17882". I guess you would have to contact the company to find out for sure, my guess is that it is not 18/10 stainless.

What number stainless steel is this spigot? For example; #304, which is 18/8. Thanks :-)

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.

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.
