How Jesmond 18/0 Stainless Steel Cutlery Works

The Jesmond range works its magic through clever design and quality materials. The 18/0 designation indicates 18% chromium and 0% nickel content, creating a magnetic, sturdy utensil that resists corrosion brilliantly. Each piece is crafted with balanced weight distribution for comfortable handling by both staff and diners. The manufacturing process includes multiple polishing stages for that professional satin finish, while reinforced points on forks and thickened edges on knives ensure they stand up to constant use. The result? Cutlery that performs brilliantly service after service—from starter to pudding!

Top Tips for Using Jesmond 18/0 Stainless Steel Cutlery

To get the most from your Jesmond cutlery, avoid soaking for extended periods as this can affect the finish over time.

Store in cutlery trays to prevent scratching between services, and consider buffing with a microfibre cloth before laying tables for that extra sparkle that impresses diners. Replace pieces individually as needed rather than entire sets to maintain your inventory cost-effectively.
