Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Although I searched for the metal content of this item here at Amazon's listing and elsewhere, the only available info is that it is "professional weight steel construction". Well that SOUNDS good. So I ordered this.
When the pot arrived I looked in vain on the package for exactly what the stainless steel content is. There is no information on the box and no accompanying documentation. I wasn't even sure if the piece is made in the USA.
So I contacted Oneida. The rep informed me that this piece is 18/0 stainless. How this mix is interpreted as "professional" cookware is anyone's guess. According to info about stainless steel, 18/0 is an inferior grade and prone to spotting and rusting without the nickel. It's also why it is frequently less expensive, as the addition of nickel costs more for the manufacturer.
If you only wanted to boil water in this pot, it would likely be fine. However, I wanted to use it for a variety of purposes (you know... a "multi-pot"!). Cooking acidic foods such as chili or spaghetti sauce could be a problem in the 18/0 stainless. So I am returning this and will look for something else.
