How Commercial Elia Cutlery Works

Ever wondered what makes restaurant cutlery stand apart from your everyday home silverware? Elia's professional-grade pieces are manufactured using high-quality 18/10 stainless steel—that's 18% chromium and 10% nickel—creating utensils that resist corrosion, maintain their shine, and withstand thousands of dining cycles. The perfectly balanced designs ensure comfortable handling for both staff and diners, while the precision-finished edges and polished surfaces maintain their appearance through countless dishwasher cycles. Each piece undergoes rigorous quality testing to handle the demands of commercial cleaning systems without bending, warping or dulling—ensuring your investment keeps looking smart service after service.

Safety Guidelines

  • Check Edges Inspect knife edges regularly—prevents accidents during service.
  • Handle With Care Train staff on proper handling—avoid injuries during busy service.
  • Avoid Mixing Keep cutlery separate from glassware in dishwashers—prevents damage and cuts.
  • Cool Before Handling Allow pieces to cool after washing—fresh-from-dishwasher items can burn.
  • Safe Storage Use designated cutlery trays—prevents accidental grazes.
  • Regular Inspection Check for bent tines or damage—maintains safe dining experience.

Top Tips for Using Commercial Elia Cutlery

To maximise your investment in Elia cutlery, avoid soaking pieces for extended periods, as this can eventually affect even the best stainless steel. Pre-rinse before dishwashing to remove acidic food residues, and occasionally polish with a soft cloth to maintain that showroom shine. Store in dedicated cutlery trays to prevent scratching, and consider implementing a cutlery management system to reduce loss—a common challenge in busy establishments. Finally, train staff to handle cutlery by the handles during table setting to maintain that pristine presentation.
