Choosing a Stainless Steel Sink, Part 2
First things first – metallic content. What is the stainless steel sink made of? Well, you’ll see some numbers on the description… something like 18/10 or 18/8. The 18/10 and 18/8 refers to the Chromium/Nickel content of the sink. The first number (18) is percent of Chromium; the second number (10 or 
is the percent of Nickel. The higher the number, the more chromium and nickel content. For instance a 20/10 would be considered high, and therefore a better quality sink. So when looking for a stainless steel sink you would want the highest Chromium/Nickel content and the lowest gauge you can find that fits within your budget.
