How City 18/10 Stainless Steel Cutlery Works
The magic of City 18/10 cutlery lies in its scientific composition. The 18% chromium creates an invisible protective layer that prevents oxidation and staining, while the 10% nickel adds that gorgeous silver-like shine and enhances corrosion resistance. Each piece is precision-weighted for perfect balance in the hand—no wobbly knives or awkwardly heavy forks. The cutlery undergoes a multi-stage polishing process that results in a mirror finish that maintains its appearance through countless commercial dishwasher cycles, unlike lesser grades that quickly dull. Even better, the higher nickel content means these pieces won't develop that tell-tale grey tinge that cheaper cutlery suffers from after just a few months.

"Don’t skimp on cutlery – your guests notice the weight and feel the moment they pick it up. 18/10 stainless steel like the City range gives you that polished look and durability that stands up to daily service without losing its shine."
Safety Guidelines
- Inspect Regularly Check for loose handles or damage—prevents accidents.
- Cool Before Sorting Let cutlery cool after washing—prevents burns.
- Store Properly Use designated storage containers—avoids injuries.
- Handle Knives Carefully Point blades downward when carrying—reduces risks.
- Child-Safe Service Provide appropriate cutlery for younger guests—ensures safety.
- Proper Sanitation Follow hygiene protocols—prevents contamination.
Top Tips for Using City 18/10 Stainless Steel Cutlery
To maximise your cutlery investment, avoid soaking in water for extended periods as this can eventually affect the handle joints. When polishing, use microfibre cloths rather than paper towels to prevent micro-scratches that dull the finish over time. For stubborn water spots, a solution of white vinegar and water works brilliantly. Consider implementing a sorting system during dishwashing to prevent accidental disposal, and store in cutlery trays rather than loose in drawers to maintain that perfect finish.
