How can you tell if its real silver?

Question

We bought this second hand silver ware from a thrift store and i was wondering if its Silver. Its real heavy, on the back it has a "S" logo inside a circle, real small, and the numbers 18/10. Can you help me determine if its real or not?

Answer 1

TAKE A CHOMP ON THEM.

Answer 2

The S inside the circle is most likely a trademark. Most silvers would have an 925 or a number like that to symbolize they are real silver. I think what you have is stainless steel.
