What is the grade of the stainless steel for the inner pot (18/10 or 18/8)?

I do not know which alloy is used, but is is stainless steel. The gauge of steel of steel is rather thin, but the Tatung keeps on cooking. I chose this model because I did not want non-stick coatings touching my food.

Hello, I am afraid I don't know the gage of steel. It is a beautiful pot, whistles great, pours nicely. However, it has rusted inside.

I have been using this 3 piece set for over a year and I am quite satisfied. The inner part of the casserole is made of good quality of stainless steel. Not sure on your 18/8 parameter.

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.

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.

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.

It is 18/10. Have had our set for 2 years, used every day, always cleaned in the dishwasher, and still looks great.

Not sure of the grade o if it's 18/10 or 18/0, however I have run it through the dish washer several times and there is no sign of rust. The one negative compared to similar pans I purchased in the past is these are made of thinner material.

I contacted Farberware about product 70755 and here is their answer: "Yes we manufacture are stainless steel to be 18/0 so it can be induction stovetop suitable."

I don't see 18/10 on the pot, although I have no issues with the quality of the pot.

Matfer Bourgeat copper cookware is only made with an 18/10 stainless steel interior, I believe you have misread the term "Lining or Lined" as Tinning or Tinned

Bialetti manufacturers website states that the stainless steel pots are 18/10 gauge.

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!

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.

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,

SpaceCity17, it might be too late for you, but I checked directly with the manufacturer since these people who answered were only guessing and the manufacturer said, it is "18/8 stainless steel and cannot be used on an induction stove top." I hate these people who make dumb guesses. I almost bought one of these because of them.

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.
