Explore more from EliaWhat Does '18/10 Stainless Steel' Actually Mean for Your Business?
You see '18/10' on premium cutlery all the time, but what is it? It's simply a recipe for quality. The '18' stands for 18% chromium, which is the key ingredient that makes stainless steel 'stainless'—it provides a tough, protective layer that fights off rust and corrosion. The '10' stands for 10% nickel, which is the magic component that gives the cutlery its brilliant shine, silvery lustre, and extra toughness. Think of it like a quality winter coat: the chromium is the waterproof outer layer keeping the bad weather out, and the nickel is the luxurious lining that makes it feel fantastic. For your business, this 18/10 grade hospitality dessert knife means longer life, fewer replacements, and a lasting shine that cheap cutlery just can't match, service after service.
