Question 1

is 18/10 stainless steel better, comparable or worse than 304? please DON'T answer if you don't know!

Accepted Answer

18/8 and 18/10: These are the two most common grades of stainless steel used for food preparation and dining, also known as Type 304 (304 Grade) and are part of the 300 series. The first number,18, refers to the amount of chromium present and the second represents the amount of nickel.  For example, 18/8 stainless steel is comprised of 18% chromium and 8% nickel.

304 grade stainless steel is also comprised of no more than 0.8% carbon and at least 50% iron. The chromium binds oxygen to the surface of the product to protect the iron from oxidation (rust). Nickel also enhances the corrosion resistance of stainless steel.  Therefore, the higher the nickel content, the more resistant the stainless steel is to corrosion.

18/0 - Contains a negligible amount of nickel (0.75%) and therefore has a reduced corrosion resistance (is more likely to rust than 18/8 or 18/10 but still high quality) 18/0 is also referred to as Type 430, is part of the 400 series and, unlike 300 series stainless steel, is magnetic.

Question 2

What is the maximum temperature at which one can use this oven pan & rack (in a conventional broiler?)

Accepted Answer

I only use mine in my toaster oven.  The most is 425°. I love it.  Great quality.  I have all stainless steel bakeware (all 40 years old)  and it appears to be made just as well.

Question 3

Never had a stainless steel tray. Are you supposed to use cooking spray to keep food from sticking? Thanks

Accepted Answer

I don't use cooking spray on stainless steel because it tends to leave a film that yellows over time and repeated use.  I don't use foil either.  My stainless pots and pans clean up without scrubbing if I put hot water with a touch of dishwashing detergent in them after use and leave them to soak for a little while.

Question 4

Where can I buy the replacement racks for the oven? I’ve been looking on line and your site, can’t seem to locate the part.

Accepted Answer

This is just a small cookie sheet and rack to fit inside any toaster oven. Not a replacement rack for a toaster oven.
