Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Bistro in Tenby, Wales, was struggling with their cutlery. Their previous spoons were constantly getting bent in the dishwasher or accidentally thrown away, leading to frequent and frustrating re-ordering.
"We were buying new spoons every couple of months, it felt like a hidden cost we couldn't escape. We switched to the Nisbets Essentials FA566 dessert spoons because they were magnetic. The difference in loss rate was immediate and frankly, a huge relief."
Robert Evans – Head Chef
After implementing the spoons with a magnetic cutlery bin, the bistro reduced cutlery replacement costs by over 70% in the first year.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always give your new cutlery a thorough wash in hot, soapy water before its first use.
- If you have a magnetic cutlery saving system, do a quick test to see how effectively it catches the spoons.
- Integrate them straight into your cutlery trays or polishing area, ready for immediate service.
Keeping It Going
- To prevent spotting, dry the spoons promptly after washing rather than letting them air dry for long periods.
- Rinse off acidic food residues like lemon or vinegar if they won't be washed immediately.
- Always use a non-abrasive detergent in the dishwasher to protect the polished finish.
- Avoid using steel wool or harsh scouring pads, which can scratch the surface.

Explore more from Nisbets EssentialsWhat Does '18/0 Stainless Steel' Actually Mean for Your Business?
You often see numbers like '18/0' or '18/10' on cutlery, but what's the real-world difference? The numbers refer to the steel's recipe: '18/0' means it's made with 18% chromium and 0% nickel. The chromium is what gives it a good, solid defence against rust and corrosion from daily use. The lack of nickel is the clever part for a busy business.
Think of it like this: the nickel in '18/10' cutlery adds extra shine but also makes it non-magnetic. Because these FA566 dessert spoons are nickel-free, a magnet will stick to them firmly. If you use a magnetic cutlery saver on your bin—a common sight in commercial kitchens—these spoons will be caught every single time. It's a small technical detail that directly translates into saving money by not throwing your profits in the bin.
