According to the description of the stainless steel posted by Amazon it is 18/10:Premium Stainless Steel Construction Classic design, high performance and lifetime durability unite in the Stainless Collection, All-Clad's most popular line of cookware. Products in the collection feature an interior core of aluminum for even heating and a high-polished, 18/10 stainless steel exterior and cooking surface for fine culinary performance.

I don't like that they say "handcrafted in America", and they use American made steel. But people on here are saying it's made in China. I don't see how they can do that unless by saying handcrafted in America, somehow that doesn't mean "made in the USA". Also, if you read in another paragraph it says the interior is aluminum. That might heat more evenly and hold heat longer, but I won't use aluminum to heat and then drink out of.

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.

Not sure of grade ss but I give it A+. It looks great and is sturdy enough to hold without bowing or bending.

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

There is no available information regarding the 'grade' of the stainless steel used. Neither the information provided by Amazon or the information contained within the very brief booklet which accompanied the product. It APPEARS to be a quality stainless. It is produced by a quality manufacturer. The purchase price suggests it is quality. I personally like it. Best yet, it is recommended as a 'Best Buy' by America's Test Kitchen. They test everything about a product. If it's a Best Buy from them, it is quality. However, I understand your sense of caution.

Yes it is 18/8 premium grade stainless steel. You will not be Disappointed with the quality of this pot. My last two brews session have been in my backyard on my burner at temperatures under 20 and it holds the heat perfect!

I am not sure. But let me tell you this: Weber , never again. I had to throw mine away after 3 years. The worst experience ever with Weber. 20 years ago yes that was quality. Now stainless steal???? Corrosion all over after 2 years. Weber did not respond at all to my complaints. Never again. Good luck

Sorry, I don't know. I will say that the stainless steel version is far superior to the old plastic coated ones.

They are solid ss. Not sure if the grade is 304. I have had them 6 months and am very happy with them.

Not sure, I think its 403 but not positive. I have had zero rust issues as some other reviewers claim.

420HC stainless according to my husband who is very knowledgeable about knives. I ordered it for him.

As far as I can tell, they are stainless. I don't recall exactly when I bought them, but I would guess at least several years ago, and they have not shown any surface corrosion to date. As to the magnetic properties others have mentioned, generally speaking Austenitic stainless (304, 316, etc.) are not magnetic, but the Ferritic 400 series generally are.

Condensing coils: All of ours are 304 grade stainless because that is the only metal we allow the water or steam to touch. Heating elements: Because we are the only ones specifically designed not to boil dry, ours is going to give you a higher purity.

It does not say what grade stainless...looked on the box, the pan, and the user guide. I called company and was told to call product specialist but they aren't in on weekends.

Found the grade on their website: food grade type 304 18/8 stainless steel. No aluminum and it is not lined with plastic. We use glass bottles but were traveling and wanted something more sturdy. Bonus that it converts to a sippy cup (baby is still trying to figure it out though, you really need to suck to get anything out). I'm happy with this purchase so far, but haven't had it long enough/used it enough yet to write a proper review. Hope this helps :)
