Is it 18/10 stainless steel?

I believe the outer layer is 18/0 and the inner is 18/10. Using a magnet, you can feel the difference. The 18/0 is needed to allow induction use.

I don't think so. It is induction-ready, which usually means 18/0 stainless--no nickel. It's really the chromium, not the nickel, which provides the stainless quality. The nickel just gives a lighter color that looks more like silver. It's generally used for knives, forks and spoons, which (at least in some houses) used to be made of silver.

On the bottom of the pan I see the inscription, "STAINLESS STEEL". No further stipulation is made, so I don't know if it is 18/10.

It is 18 stainless steel. The poacher is wonderful and is easy to use and clean.

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.

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

Hi, it's made of 18/8 stainless steel, one of the two most common grades of stainless steel(18/8, 18/10) used for food preparation and dining,

The 18/10 I believe would not be magnetic due to the 10 parts nickel. If it is magnetic then it has less nickel but not necessarily 18/0 or no nickel.

I think that it isn't 18/10 stainless, maybe it's under the 18/10 stainless. It hasn't rust because I used it three times.The pot lid detach from the pot, it convenient.

I'm not sure if it is 18/0 or 18/10 however we run these sheets through the dishwasher and have not had any issue with rust or corrosion. We have had them about a year or more. I will mention that I find this sheets a bit thin. I had two stainless sheets for many years which were much heavier.

I don't know. It's not labeled either way. When you ask at the Calphalon website the answer is that all products are made with the highest quality materials and that whether they used 18/10 or not depends upon when it was made. That makes me think that it probably isn't. Overall, it's a great pan-well worth the money. It cooks great, and cleans up easily.

The product is not 18/10 - it is actually 18/0 on the exterior with only a stainless 202 grade cooking surface. The 202 is about the cheapest quality stainless in use and is not generally accepted as cookware grade - It certainly is not professional grade. The 202 is prone to stains, rusting and easily scratches. Unlike true 18/10 these scratches will not self repair/seal.

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.

I don't know. I do know that it seems like excellent high quality good weight stainless steel. I am very happy with it. It is the perfect size and very well-designed.

It appears to be. It is pretty heavy gauge. Has developed a few small discolored spots from washing, but otherwise seems to be holding up like stainless

My pot is a MCP66-24 but the box has no indication of 18/10. It is a very nice pot in any case, better than my review indicates. It is suitable for induction stoves (magnetic) if that is the issue. This is an excellent value, is one of our favorite pots, is used on the conventional electric stovetop and in the oven. We have had the pot over a year and my vote is to get it and enjoy it.
