I've read the steel pot is thin and flimsy?Is the pot 100% stainless steel, marked 18/10 or 18/8?

It is not marked, but the pot is not flimsy at all. It is very heavy and cleans nicely with a plastic scrubby! I have had mine over a year, and it has been through the dishwasher a hundred, still looks brand new!

There are no markings but it is very sturdy. I am very happy with this pressure cooker.

It is not marked but it is not flimsy. Beats the Teflon covered inserts. My best pressure cooker so far.

The pot is 18/8 stainless steel. Not flimsy, very sturdy and cleans up nicely.

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!

The pot is a very lightweight material, perhaps a plastic variant. But the finishing and detail resemble a nice stone ware pot. I bought 3 pots and am very happy with them.

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.

This pot is the same height all the way around. The picture noted is a VERY good example of what it looks like. The cover is very snug with clips holding in place. On a scale of 1:10 - I would give it a 9.5 :) (nothing is perfect). I also like the fact that it is stainless steal and therefore has a study feel to it. I trust this was helpful. God bless you.

Completely smooth ... it is a great pot and I use it all the time. C. After reading the other response, I differ with LoveTech with the quality of the steel. I have found it to be very good and serviceable with NO STAINING. I cook soups all the time with NO problems.

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 do not see anything marked as such on the pot itself and no longer have the box. However, this is a very well made teapot and it is heavy enough to be 18-10. The inside is brushed stainless while the exterior is shiny.

Yes. It's not the same heavy gauge as the pot, but it's tight fitting which is the important part. "Stainless" is sort of a misnomer. It might be very resilient to rust and non-reactive with almost all foods, but heat and time will make all metals susceptible to blemishes and "stains".

The bottom of mine says 6.00T/5.7L which may be another way to say 18/10 stainless steel. Mine is stamped stainless steel as well. I LOVE mine and would recommend it to anyone. It is very well made and is beautiful! Perfect for soups, pasta, corn.

Revising my original response to questions about this product, I have to say it is one of the WORST pots I ever had. After only 2 uses, the bottom was pitted with little black pits, I suppose from the small amount of salt in the water. While I don't know about the question's numbers, the supposed "stainless" steel is flimsy and not fit for more than cooking vegetables and pasta in water.

Its 'says'/claims to be completely stainless steel; its the reason I bought this one. I am Sensitive to Nickel/aluminum and haven't had ANY issues with this cute pot. Hope this helps.

Some 18/10 is magnetic, some is not. If a magnet sticks to your pot, it will work.

If it's stainless, why isn't it stamped on the bottom? The stamp isn't on either the pot I just received or the pic of the bottom here on Amazon. The paper flier which came with it claims it's stainless. DON'T want aluminum as not safe to cook with.

I don't know, but I have owned it for about a month and love it. I use stainless for all my cooking having been scared by all the hype of aluminum and Alzheimer's. This pan is a good weight and the two handles make it easy to handle. The dishwasher cleans it well after a cursory scouring with a scratchy pad. I think the manufacturer specs would list the 18/10 issue question answer.

18/10 weight refers to the nickel content of the stainless steel. 18/10 will not rust unlike 18/0 stainless that will rust if not cared for properly. 18/10 is not magnetic, whole 18/0 is. Induction cooking refers to cooking without heating the pan or pot, only the contents. Since aluminum cookware does not contain any steel, they will not work, the unit will shut down,
