What is the difference in the grades of stainless steel for flatware? Which is better - 18/10 or 18/12, and what do the numbers mean, anyway?

For a definitive answer give a call to your local up-scale department store or store that sells quality stainless steel flatware. Someone there will be able to tell you what the numbers mean.

Briefly it has to do with the quality and long term durability.
