What kind of stainless is this pot? i.e. 18/10 or 18/0? I'm trying to find a multi pot that is nickel free.

Unfortunately, these pots I had bought to give as a gift so I don't have them on hand to check. Sorry. Hope someone else can help you. But I'm pretty sure they were 18/10.

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.

Epoca customer service says it's sandblasted stainless steel, which is potentially toxic and I returned my kettle. Stainless steel is an excellent cooking surface *unless* it has been damaged via harsh scouring or otherwise (and sandblasting is pretty harsh!). In that case it can leech nickel which is toxic. Google "healthiest type of cookware" for more info.

This is not 18/10. The original pattern was called simply Crescendo and *was* 18/10 - I have a set and each piece is marked as such. This is 18 chrome (or 18/0) - there is no nickel in the alloy like the original. There is a slightly different color and feel to the set. They renamed the pattern Crescendo II because it is no longer 18/10. Check the R&B; website and it will confirm that they now consider Crescendo II "casual flatware" and it is now made with "18 chrome". If a seller does not specifically state that the set is 18/10 (meaning that they have an older, original set) then you should assume that it is 18/0. This is not 18/10.

im not sure of the grade, I can say it is higher than 308 stainless. its thickness is .020 or the same as 6 sheets of paper. , but is extremely resistant to bending. i have boiled water in mine over coals ( not open flame) many times. the bottom warped slightly , but no more than any pot of similar material and not enough to hinder the lid closing properly. i use mine as a wilderness kit and have been very pleased with it. slightly heavier than an aluminum but lasts much longer. hope this helped. if you have any more questions feel free to ask.

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

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.

They are both 8 Qt, so one must have a heavier gauge stainless steel, or maybe it has the what is it called, no-scratch interior which may be a heavier pot. The one I bought had the black no scratch interior and is very heavy...I did not like it, but it was too much trouble to send it back. I prefer the stainless steel interior.

I believe it is the 18/10, but i am unsure. Also, the model on mine reads, MCP66-28. I have been very happy with it. Also, SS cleaner/polisher paste has done a great job keeping this pot in top order. It is our best large pot though we have several quality pots.

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.

The first number is always "18" so by itself, it means nothing. 18/10 is high-quality rust resistant and not magnetic. 18/0 is less "stainless" but it is magnetic and works on induction hobs. Often, with a multi-ply pan, the inner layer will be 18/10 for stain resistance and the outer layer will be 18/0 to work on induction hobs (the layer in between would be aluminum or copper.

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.

Yes it is, Its marked induction symble with all the other modes of cooking on the bottoms of the pans as well. It's also states that it is 18-10 stainless even if it failed to mention it in the discription. It all on the botton of the pans look at the pictures provided. Plus there countless people says they are using on glass tops as well as PIC portable cooktops etc. and having great results. Thanks have a good day.

Nickel is more of a silver tone of color.I have black,most of my spices are McCormick too.I have 2 of the racks side by side above my stove.I really like mine. I hope this helps you. :)

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.

My mistake. I thought the ad stated 18/10 stainless. And because of the weight of the pan, I assumed it was. 18/10 versus 18/0 is only the difference between the amount of Nickel added to the steel. Nickel gives it the brilliant shine and resists rust, so the more nickel, the more the shine and the ability to clean up easier. 18 (chromium) and 10(nickel). It is still a great pan for the price. The 13T is some sort of allow measurement, so I'm not sure why it is stamped on the plate. Hopefully, this helps. You might want to research the manufacturer of the pan for more info.

Amazon has listed two different pots under the same description. One is fantastic, stainless steel, and one is non-stick and colored. I just wrote a review under the non-stick listing and now I am prevented from reviewing the stainless steel pot because I am only allowed one review!!!.....AMAZON please fix this. The person who asks which pot will they get will never be sure until you fix this.

Hi Gail! I own this so Amazon asked me if I would respond to your question. :) It is 18/10 stainless, but due to the gold accent content, they recommend and I do hand wash only. It's so pretty, it's worth it though. Hope that helps!
