Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, wash the cutlery in hot, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residues.
- Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth to prevent water spots.
- Store in a cutlery drawer with dividers or a cutlery tray to prevent items from scratching each other.
Keeping It Going
- For dishwashers, place knives in a separate basket with blades pointing down to avoid accidents and scratches.
- Remove and dry the cutlery as soon as the dishwasher cycle ends to maintain the mirror finish.
- To restore shine, use a reputable stainless steel polish occasionally, following the product instructions.
- Avoid soaking for long periods, especially in water with high salt or acid content, to prevent pitting.

Explore more from EliaWhat Does '18/10 Stainless Steel' Really Mean for Your Business?
You see '18/10 Stainless Steel' on premium cutlery, but what does it actually mean? Think of it like a recipe for strength and shine. The '18' refers to 18% chromium content, which is the key ingredient for fighting rust and corrosion – essential for items that are constantly being washed. The '10' refers to 10% nickel content. Nickel is what gives the steel its beautiful, silver-like lustre and added resistance to acids from foods. It also contributes to that pleasing weight and hardness. Cheaper '18/0' cutlery lacks this nickel, which is why it can feel lighter, look duller over time, and be more prone to staining. Choosing 18/10 is choosing the best-in-class material for cutlery that lasts and continues to impress your diners.
