Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Gilded Teapot," a bustling patisserie in Bath, decided to upgrade their entire cutlery collection. Their old, mismatched sets no longer reflected the quality of their artisanal pastries and felt flimsy to their discerning clientele.
"We chose the Elia Aspect range because it just felt right. The spoons have a lovely weight to them. Customers have actually commented on how nice they are to use, which is something we never expected for cutlery! It completes the experience."
Laura Williams – Owner
The change resulted in consistently positive customer feedback about the overall table presentation, reinforcing the patisserie's premium brand identity.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, run the spoons through a full wash cycle to remove any manufacturing residues.
- Inspect each spoon upon arrival to ensure they are all in perfect condition.
- Designate a cutlery tray or container with dividers to prevent the spoons from scratching each other during storage.
Keeping It Going
- For best results, rinse spoons soon after use to prevent food acids from sitting on the surface.
- When machine washing, use a quality, non-abrasive detergent to protect the finish.
- Dry the cutlery promptly with a soft, microfibre cloth to prevent water spots and maintain shine.
- To restore a showroom-perfect gleam, occasionally polish with a dedicated stainless steel cleaner.

Explore more from EliaWhy '18/10' Stainless Steel Makes All the Difference
Ever wondered what the '18/10' on cutlery actually means? It’s not just a technical code; it’s a guarantee of quality. The numbers refer to the percentages of chromium and nickel in the steel alloy. '18' stands for 18% chromium, the key ingredient for toughness and rust resistance. '10' stands for 10% nickel, which is added for its brilliant shine and exceptional protection against corrosion from acidic foods like fruit coulis or lemon tarts.
Think of it like a recipe for the perfect protective shield. The chromium provides the brawn, fighting off stains and wear, while the nickel provides the beauty, giving the spoon its silvery lustre. This combination ensures your professional catering dessert spoons not only look fantastic on day one, but continue to resist pitting and staining for years of demanding service.
