What grade of stainless?

Not sure if it is 316 or 304 (18-8) but it holds up real well on boat trailers that get dipped into salt water regularly. Based on that it is one of the better grades since there is no sign of rust.

I called the manufacturer and they said it was 100 percent stainless. I have had two of these for about 6 months and they have held up well.

Thank you for your question. The "Stainless" option you see is the Brilliance Stainless, they are the same thing.

The first number in 18/10 stainless steel refers to the percentage of the alloy that is made up of chromium. In order to be considered stainless steel at all, that number must be at least 10.5%. A higher value of chromium means that the protective layer will be thicker and will repair itself more quickly if damaged. Therefore, 18/10 stainless steel has a high level of chromium, and will be more resistant to staining and corrosion. The second number in 18/10 stainless steel refers to the percentage of nickel in the cookware. Although 18/8 also indicates high quality stainless steel cookware, the higher both numbers are, the better the cookware. above information quoted from: http://www.only-cookware.com/what_is_18_10_stainless_steel_cookware.html Also, the whistle does work, but you really have to boil the water excessively. not a problem for me. I just listen for the water and turn off the heat when it is ready. We are very happy with our tea pot. We use it multiple times a day and it is holding up well.

It doesn't specify but they are almost certainly 18/0 rather than 18/10. That is the cheapest stainless grade NSF will certify.

No plastic, no aluminum and I forgot what grade of stainless steel? I think 18/8.

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

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

This is 18/10 stainless steel which falls into SAE 316 stainless steel specifications. It's fine for use with vinegar.

I've had my coffee pot for 15 years and not a spot of rust anywhere. It is a good grade of stainless but I don't think it's 316. 18/8 would have shown some rust or pitting so my guess is 304 grade.

I'm sorry but I don't know. But I am very happy with it.. Check on Amazon, it should say. I just checked the web site and it's 18-10 stainless steel.

This is 304 = 18/8 stainless steel it is good for storage. The highest grade is 18/10 which is better for cooking. I found some 18/10 in the camping section that can be used for both storage and cooking.

There are different types of 304 Stainless and they are usually 18/8 type but can be found in higher grades but most "commercial grade"cookware is this or better. For induction cooking purposes simply determine if a magnet will be attracted to it . . The better the stainless the less effective it is as induction cookware but as far as it being "stainless" or not....I find that the term really means .. Stain less..... Not stain free....no matter how high the grade! For the most part, only a welder would care about the grade to determine the kind of filler rod to be making his weld with.

Don't know what grade: you would have to contact the manufacturer: Amco for that info. They are very nice knives though. I've purchased them twice already and will do so again when I need more.

Sorry. I have no idea. I didn't know there were different grades. It seems plenty heavy enough. I read several years ago that there may be a connection to using aluminum and alzimers so I have changed to all stainless steel cookware.
