What grade of stainless steel is this? (eg 18/10 or 18/0)

I am not sure what "grade" of stainless steel, but it is as good of a quality as my regular silverware. The pattern is almost the same too!

The Best Stainless Steel Flatware GradeEither 18/10 or 18/8 flatware is best. Both are made from the same base material, grade 304 steel; 18/10 is something of a marketing trick and should not cost any more than 18/8. Grades such as 18/0 and 13/0 will have a less durable shine and less rust-resistance.

It is definitely 18/10. It says so on the back of each piece....and it has a really nice weight.

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.

You probably mean what's the alloy composition. "18/10" isn't a "gauge" it's a description of a metal content of a particular class of stainless steel.

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.

So very sorry that I do not know if the unit is made of 18/10 stainless steel. Please try to contact Excalibur for that type of answer, as it is not mentioned in the description. I can tell you that it is easy to keep clean and I've been extremely pleased with the purchase.

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.

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.

What number stainless steel is this spigot? For example; #304, which is 18/8. Thanks :-)

Yes, it is. Google item name and model number, and 18/10 stainless and you will find references.

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 didn't have them taken to a lab for analysis or anything, but yes, "18/10" is stamped on the back. They are beautiful with a nice weight to them. The Non Stop set has a beautiful brushed finish, which I like much better than the super shiny finish some of their other sets have, so maybe it doesn't photograph as though it's stainless steel.

I can't tell you if they are 18/10, but the pots and lids are stainless steel.

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 believe it is 18/10 gauge. It is heavy stainless steel the aluminum clad bottom for even heat disbursement while cooking. It is very nice stainless cookware for the price.
