How Commercial Baguette Cutlery 18/0 Works

The magic of Baguette cutlery lies in its brilliant balance of form and function. The 18/0 stainless steel composition (18% chromium, 0% nickel) creates pieces that resist corrosion while maintaining a satisfying weight in the hand. Each piece features clean lines with subtle ridges along the handle—the signature 'Baguette' pattern that's both timeless and practical, offering good grip even with busy waiting staff. The absence of nickel makes these pieces slightly more magnetic than higher grades, but significantly more budget-friendly for high-volume operations. After washing, they maintain their shine without the fussy polishing needed for fancier ranges—perfect for the daily hustle of commercial hospitality!

Top Tips for Using Commercial Baguette Cutlery 18/0

To keep your Baguette cutlery looking smart, rinse off food debris promptly before washing to prevent staining. Use cutlery baskets during washing to avoid scratches and damage, and add a splash of vinegar to your rinse water occasionally to enhance shine. Store pieces properly in cutlery dividers rather than jumbled together, and replace damaged items promptly to maintain a cohesive set. For special occasions, a quick buff with a microfibre cloth gives them an extra polish without needing special cutlery polish.
