 Stainless (18/8 vs. 18/10) Looking high and low at cookware sets and have decided to go with a Stainless Steel set yet can't help but hearing of the praises paid to 18/8 stainless. Can anyone support or refute the classic numbering ranks? As well, anyone out there superbly satisfied with good 'ol 18/10? Looking forward to comments. As well, any recommendations for complete sets and or prices welcomed!  |

 Honestly, I'm just new and dont know the difference. Do you know the benefits one may have over the other, what the #'s 18/8 or 18/10 mean? I know it has to do with carbon content, but no more.  |

 Most stainless steel knives that I've seen are made with 18/10 stainless. Consult either with a knife maker, a machinist, or a metallurgist to determine the difference between the two alloys. |

| the 8 or 10 in 18/8;18/10 has to do w/ the amount of nickle in the product and that controls the amount of staining. How new the product will look and for how long.
