Our portfolio includes stainless steel cookware, kitchen tools/accessories, zinc alloy, and aluminum table-top products. Each item is then individually inspected to ensure it matches our high-quality standard. We’re also a keenly proud-owned business that emphasizes the personal and human touch that established our sterling reputation through the years. We still inspect each piece by hand today, just as we did decades ago.
Stainless steel is durable and long-lasting. The majority of the benefits of stainless steel cookware, including corrosion resistance and durability, ultimately contribute to the material’s important role in sustainable design and alternative energy evolution. On average, the recycled content of stainless steel is 60%.
18/8 stainless steel contains a minimum of 18% chromium and 8% nickel, giving its alternate name 304 stainless steel. 304 stainless steel contains chromium-nickel content and low carbon. This stainless steel type is oxidation and corrosion resistant. This durability provides ease for fabrication and prevention of product contamination. 304 stainless steel is considered the most versatile and common austenitic stainless steel. 304 stainless steel is more cost-effective compared to 316 stainless steel.
18/10 stainless steel, 18/8, and 18/0 are fractions explaining the percentages of chromium and nickel alloys added to stainless steel to reduce rust and enhance shine and durability. 18/0 contains limited nickel and is, therefore, slightly less resistant to oxidation, while 18/10 provides the highest amount of nickel, producing the most excellent rust resistance and longest-held polish. This designation indicates better quality steel than '18/8' and is essentially the same as the 304 grade.
18/0 is a 'ferritic' stainless steel type attracted by a magnet (like pure iron). This steel, known as 430 stainless steel, is used where corrosion resistance is not too demanding as an alternative to the '18/8' 304 types. The chromium content is optimistically said to be 18% but is nearer 17%.
