Is this 18/10tainless steel?

It is as advertised. What the picture doesn't show is that the serving pieces are relatively large.

Yes it is. It has held up beautifully. Only had it approx. 7 months, and got it for normal use. We use at least one piece daily and put it in the dishwasher with everything else and so far, it still comes out looking new.

It's odd that 18/10 isn't listed in the specs, since that would be a major selling point. Is it stamped on the utensils?

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.

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.

It means the grade of stainless steel the pan is made from and the weight of the stainless steel.18/10 is a very good grade of stainless.

18/10 is 18% Chromium and 10% nickel both contain stain-resistant properties. 18/0 is 18% Chromium and 0% nickel and Chromium by itself and is not a reliable rust-resistant material. Combined with nickel, it takes on more hard-wearing properties. The combination of nickel also creates a brighter, polished look. Because of this, 18/10 products generally cost more.

According to the spec. sheet " http://www.unitedcutlery.com/Specsheets/uc2934-web.pdf " It is 1060 carbon steel. with that being said, check my review of it. I gave it 3 stars due to the lack of proper spring in the blade. it seems the manufacture quench hardened it decently but they way over tempered it to the point where it lost most of its spring.

I have no idea how to tell if they are 18/10, however I can tell you I am very pleased with mine. They dont rust and the shape is unique

I believe it is 8cr13mov. That is a Chinese steel but still get the job done!

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

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

It appears to be but I haven't had it certified to know for sure. It is definitely a metal of some kind.

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.

No, it is not. Just spoke to Cuisinart and was told it was not 18/10. The representative did not volunteer what combo it is and I didn't ask. Her comment was, of course, that it didn't matter. Well because I've decided to research this metal business more in-depth, I called Cuisinart again and specifically asked what is the percentage of chromium/nickel. This time I was told 18/10. When I asked her which of the two Cuisinart representatives is correct, she said she would have someone call me in 3 to 5 days. The second representative added that the percentages are listed on the bottom of the pan. Don't know since I don't own the set. My old Cuisinart pans do not have the percentage on them.

Hi Gail! I own this so Amazon asked me if I would respond to your question. :) It is 18/10 stainless, but due to the gold accent content, they recommend and I do hand wash only. It's so pretty, it's worth it though. Hope that helps!

It's not 18/10 stainless but it's is a great value for the price. Great set I use it everyday.

Speaking as to the actual product I received after ordering it, it's certainly not 18/10 stainless or for that matter any kind of stainless steel. The strainer I received is made out of a cheap aluminum grade material, polished to look like stainless steel, but it's not. I buy sheet metal for a living and I know a little about metals.
