How Commercial Harley 18/0 Cutlery & Flatware Works

Wondering what makes commercial cutlery different from your home drawer? It starts with the 18/0 composition—that's 18% chromium and 0% nickel, creating a magnetic stainless steel that's brilliant for commercial kitchens. The pieces are designed with balanced weight and ergonomic handles for comfortable dining, while the durable finish withstands thousands of wash cycles without losing its shine. The clean, classic designs complement virtually any tableware style, from casual cafés to upscale restaurants, letting your food take centre stage rather than competing with overly ornate patterns.

Top Tips for Using Commercial Harley 18/0 Cutlery & Flatware

To maximise the lifespan of your Harley cutlery, rinse pieces before loading dishwashers to prevent food particles from baking on during washing. Use cutlery baskets during washing and store in designated cutlery trays to minimise scratching. For extra shine before important service, a quick polish with a clean, dry cloth works wonders. And remember—don't let cutlery soak in water overnight as this can eventually affect the finish.

Real-World Success with Commercial Harley 18/0 Cutlery & Flatware

The Corner Bistro in Bristol switched to Harley 18/0 flatware after struggling with constant replacements from their previous supplier. The restaurant, which serves about 200 covers daily, paired the cutlery with their existing ceramic dinnerware and glassware. 'We were replacing nearly 30% of our cutlery every quarter,' explains owner James. 'Since switching to Harley, we've cut that to less than 10%, and customers actually comment on how nice the weight feels. It was a small change that made a big difference to our bottom line.'
