Is it 304 or 18/8 stainless? In the past I have purchased some "Stainless" products that were of an inferior material that became rusty in short order.

Dear friend, the material of this item is stainless steel. And pls don't worry. It won't become rusty. Thank you!

304 and 18/8 are the same alloy. If you are seeing little rust spots you may have 302 stainless steel as it has lower Cr & Ni in it. The rust spots are normal and can easily be removed with cleanser.

Hi, if you really look at the description you see STAINLESS not STAIN "FREE", but as far as rust I don't think you will have a problem. I think rust will only form on stainless if there is some contaminate left on the stainless surface.

If you are buying a store brand that is why anything purchased that does not say 18/8 will probably rust. I'm on well water so I have to use a dish washer cleaning product every few months and change my whole house filter monthly. I'm using the Henckels as fine silver so I use for company only and I hand wash and immediately dry. The Henckel steak knives I have had for years and I put those thru the dishwasher and they have held up beautifully they don't seem to rust or water spot like my everyday silverware which is Oneida.

I believe this stainless is 18/10. I can't be sure because I'm in the middle of a move and all my paperwork -- and the pans themselves -- are packed away for a few months. But they do have a respectable nickel content. The pans themselves have proven to be excellent at resisting all kinds of stains in the time I've owned them.

I believe it is 304 stainless so will not rust. Seems to be the same as what we use in the restauranta as far as stainless steel.

I agree with you you, but I do not know if this product is 18/10 stainless steel. The manufacturer describes it as aluminum and stainless and that it is rust resistant. I purchased the Adjustable Shower Caddy in May 2013 and have been very happy with the product. I did not want a chrome-type finish which tends to peel and rust more quickly, and spent a few dollars more for this product. I think it will look well for quite some time, but if I get five years without it becoming a "rust bucket" I will be happy. Please see my other reviews regarding attaching suction cup to wall. Hope this helps. I agree with you you, but I do not know if this product is 18/10 stainless steel. The manufacturer describes it as aluminum and stainless and that it is rust resistant.

I cannot determine from looking what the grade the stainless is, but they are thicker and heavier than the original Weber bars and show no appreciable rust after being used for the past six months and weathering through our long winter. Very good product.

It is stamped 18/10 Stainless Inox Rostfrei. Inox means rust free as does Rostfrei

I'm concerned, too. There are two products identical to each other, one chrome and one stainless steel. I want the stainless steel model. But this one's 1-Star reviews show it listed as "Stainless Steel Finish" and rusting. I just have no idea what to believe.

It's 18/0, so will tend to discolor and rust a bit. Get 18/10 stainless for the best rust resistance

When we bought ours they were out of the chrome so upgraded us to the stainless. I would recommend the stainless very much. We love it so much we helped buy another as a shared gift.

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'm not certain of the grade stainless used. The paperwork enclosed makes no mention of it, just says ' Stainless steel construction '. Perhaps All-Clad could answer your question and I see they show a Pennsylvania address.All-Clad Metalcrafters LLC424 Morganza RoadCanonsburg, Pa 153171-800-ALL-CladUsing my daily and still happy with it ... no rust, outside finish looks good ... must use hotpad to hold handle as the handle does get hot ... I'd buy it again....... hope that helps you.

304 Stainless steel structure Below is a link describing the the type of stainless steel. http://asm.matweb.com/search/SpecificMaterial.asp?bassnum=MQ304AI've had it now for over a year totally exposed to Florida weather and haven't the slightest bit of tarnish or rusting. It looks today like it did the day I installed it

Strangely, the documentation that came with it says, "Stainless Steel Finish". What's the difference between that and plain "Stainless Steel"? It's made in China, so who knows? Whatever it is, I've had it for a month with absolutely no signs of rust.

They said it was stainless in the description. Other than that I don't know.
