What is 18/0 Stainless steel?

The /0 represents the percentage of nickel. The higher the nickel, the shinier the steel and less likelier it is that it will rust. However, of course, the more expensive it is.

Yes - it is 18/10. That is what I was looking for when purchasing and I just double-checked it against descriptions on the internet, which indicate 18/10.

I checked the bottom of my kettle and found "K18". Not sure if this means it is 18/10 Stainless. It is made in China. My friend in Seattle ordered the same kettle in the same week and has had no signs of rust. Overall, I am still pleased with my purchase.

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

I believe this stainless is 18/10. I can't be sure because I'm in the middle of a move and all my paperwork -- and the pans themselves -- are packed away for a few months. But they do have a respectable nickel content. The pans themselves have proven to be excellent at resisting all kinds of stains in the time I've owned them.

The gauge indicates the thickness of the stainless steel. The lower the gauge number, the thicker the material is. 20 would be a thicker material than 22 But not as thick as 18. Usually a thicker gauge sink will cost more but last longer & perform better.

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.

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.

The sink is 18 gauge stainless steel. It is solid and works great in our laundry room which is not too large.

If you go to the reedandbarton website, the company itself makes no claim that this style is 18/10. It merely describes Addison as 18 chromium, which means it likely has no nickel, which means the set is likely 18/0 stainless. This will corrode and rust. 18/10 is always imprinted on the flatware if it is 18/10. Buyer beware!

I believe it was 18/10 because it is a quality pot. 18/0 does not keep its shine as well as you can tell with cheap 18/0 flatware. I always look for 18/10 or better to buy.

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,

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

There is no such thing as "25/10" stainless steel. That refers to the dimensions of the blade. 18/10 refers to the metallic content of one type of stainless steel itself.
