Default Stainless steel spec

Shopping for a stainless steel sink for the kitchen. I know nothing
about the specification "18/8 chrome/nickel content." Is this a good
number? Does it imply this steel is more stainless than other steel?
Thanks,
Paul MR


Both 18/8 and 18/10 stainless steel are good quality and have a high
resistance to corrosion and staining. 18/10 stainless steel has a
higher percentage of nickel which one might notice as a slightly
richer color. IMO, both perform well, and I doubt that one really
outperforms the other.


I absolutely agree with you, Wayne.
