I just got this citrus press, but I can not find "18/10 stainless steel" mark anywhere on the box. Is it really 18/10 ?

mine doesn't say either, yet i love how it works, its not plastic which is a plus and hard to find, and it cleans up easy

I don't know the answer to your question; however, this citrus press is the most heavy duty press that I have found anywhere...and it is stainless steel. Also, I understand that there are different qualities of stainless. My press has a high degree of attraction to a magnet which indicates adequate levels of nickel in the stainless steel metallurgical 'mix'.

I don't know how the "magnetic test" got started but - A typical composition of 18% chromium and 10% nickel, commonly known as 18/10 stainless, is often used in cutlery and high quality cookware. You will find that this type of stainless steel is Austenitic 316 Series and as such is non-magnetic, therefore the use of a magnet is useless and doesn't really tell you anything. From Wikipedia "Austenite, also known as gamma phase iron (ã-Fe), is a metallic, non-magnetic allotrope of iron"

I have no idea of the exact metal content of this item but I can tell you that I tried several large magnets and none would stick to it. Don't know if that helps to answer your question. Sorry.

I am not sure if there was a warranty. I have had my Norpro Stainless Steel Citrus Juice Press for over a year and have had no problem. It did not rust, and living on the ocean, that is really amazing!

Yep, mine appears to be all stainless (the base is actually stamped 18/10 grade), with the exception of the brass (I believe) pressure relief fitting inside and the silicone seal/gasket between the top and bottom halves. I'm totally against aluminum for cooking, which was the main reason I selected this Cuisinox model. I've used and washed mine hundreds of times since the day I purchased it and it shows no signs of rust or corrosion. It reminds me every morning, that it is one of a very few products I own where the feeling of quality still has not worn off. I've never even replaced the silicone seal on it. Great product period.

the symbol gs and 18/10, is what is stamped on each piece in teensy tiny, but I don't remember the maker from the box that I threw out. If the little symbol means something to you, you're ahead of the game because I don't know any more than that. My guess is that Gourmet Settings is a company, but I don't know that

I don't see 18/10 on the pot, although I have no issues with the quality of the pot.

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.

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.

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.

Not sure of the grade o if it's 18/10 or 18/0, however I have run it through the dish washer several times and there is no sign of rust. The one negative compared to similar pans I purchased in the past is these are made of thinner material.

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 cannot tell if it is 18/10, but it is stainless steel and it is a fairly thick rigid. It is a very solid unit and it works very well. We really like it. I hope this helps.

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.

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!

I think that it isn't 18/10 stainless, maybe it's under the 18/10 stainless. It hasn't rust because I used it three times.The pot lid detach from the pot, it convenient.

The box says "professional grade stainless" but no specifics. I have been more than pleased with the steamer as I use it at least once a week.

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.

Because I didn't know the answer I used Google to find the answer as for the spoons they are great. Have you ever seen the numbers 18/0, 18/8, or 18/10 listed to describe stainless steel flatware? A common misperception is that these numbers refer to the weight of stainless flatware. These numbers have nothing to do with weight. These number are common in the industry and refer to the percentage of chromium and nickel that is used in the manufacture of the stainless steel alloy used to make the flatware. The first number is the percent of chromium in the alloy. Chromium content is what give stainless it's strength. The second number is the percent of nickel. Nickel is what gives stainless it's shine and rust-resistance. 18/10 and 18/8 are the optimal amounts of chromium and nickel for stainless steel flatware and are regarded as the highest level of quality. Some people think that 18/10 is better than 18/8 but in reality there is no difference and both are the highest level of quality. On the other hand, 18/0 is different and most of the cheaper stainless steel is 18/0. If numbers are not offered, many times it is because it is 18/0 or the lower level of quality. Most of the time if stainless is 18/8 or 18/10 the seller will let you know that since it is a selling point if flatware is 18/8 or 18/10.
