some places say this is 18/10 stainless steel, it should not ever rust then, is this sifter 18/10 stainless?

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 had the sifter for over a year and it shows no signs of rusting. Other than the lable saying stainless, it is not stamped. I have owned ALL-CLAD stainless cookware for years and none have 18/8 or 18/10 stamped on them and absolutely never rusted What i can tell you is that this is the perfect sifter if you have lots to sift. It is so easy to use with little, to no effort.

Only know what the description reads. Not all ss is the same grade or quality, of course. I don't wash mine since I only sift dry ingredients in it, anyhow. Comes quite clean just by cranking and tapping it to empty it.

I do not know but mine certainly is not rusted & I have had it for years. To be honest, however, water has never touched it. I use it for sifting flour and that is all. I have dredgers that I use for flour, sugar, powdered sugar, cinnamon and therefore have no need to rinse it at all

haven't got a clue but - I have had mine for three months, used it weekly and it has held up and not rusted. I do not put it in the dishwasher. I am so pleased with it that I have bought 7 of them so far. Two for me and the rest for gifts.

Jack: Since I have no way to be sure, I had to research to find a way to determine if the sifter is made of stainless or tin. I don't own it long enough to see if it is rusting, which tin would do. See http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/874463 the second reply, which says that stainless attracts a magnet and tin doesn't. I tried that and yes the sifter attracts a magnet. I can tell you that the sifter is made of heavy gauge metal, holds up to five cups at the top line that you see in the photo, the fixed handle is very strongly attached, and the sifter handle moves easily. I'm happy with it for the time-to-time baking that I do. I hope this was helpful. Best wishes.

Speaking as to the actual product I received after ordering it, it's certainly not 18/10 stainless or for that matter any kind of stainless steel. The strainer I received is made out of a cheap aluminum grade material, polished to look like stainless steel, but it's not. I buy sheet metal for a living and I know a little about metals.

No, it will not rust. We have been using ours for several months and it is just as bright and shiny as the day we bought it. The stainless steel is of top quality.

I believe that it is made from stainless steel, it does not rust. However it is too large to fit inside of my deepfryer so I have not been able to use it for what I bought it for.

I'm sure it's not the top of the line stainless, but I've had mine sitting outside for 4 months of winter and no rust on the bottom so far. I do have it covered with a good quality cover. I also drilled a few small holes in the bowl bottom for drainage. For such a low price, and if you keep it covered you, should get your money's worth out of it.

I don't know for sure I think its stainless steel. I can tell you I have had mine for close to a year and it hasn't rust or showed any signs of ware. It is a very well made strainer I would order another hope this helps.

I've had mine for a little over a year now, and no signs of rusting. I also purchased the in-sink dish drainer, and it is holding up beautifully as well. This is a quality product, made of a heavy duty stainless steel.

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.

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.

It says 18/10 gauge on the handle. I've had the set for quite some time. I've never had an issue with rusting or bending--I don't think I could if I tried. I try to take very good care of it, but have accidentally left it in standing water a few times without problems. Friends & family are totally jealous ;). I would definitely purchase it again!

Yes, even high carbon steel will rust in the right conditions. However, I have been using it in a cheese slicer, including dishwasher cleaning, and have not had any rust form.

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.

I don't know if it is stainless. The metal type should be listed in the product description. I use mine a lot and it stays out in my shed year round. No rust on it after 2 years

I purchased the Cooks standard NC-00238 5 ply clad S/S chefs pan 32cm and the cooks standard NC-00247 steamer 32cm purchased 8 mths and use it most days, Rust should never be a problem because it is stainless steel.

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