How Roma 18/10 Stainless Steel Cutlery Works
The magic of Roma cutlery lies in its thoughtful composition and craftsmanship. The 18/10 classification indicates 18% chromium (preventing rust) and 10% nickel (providing that gorgeous silver-like shine). Each piece undergoes meticulous polishing for a smooth, mirror-like finish that maintains its lustre through hundreds of washing cycles. The cutlery's balanced design means it sits comfortably in guests' hands while the slightly heavier handles prevent knives from sliding into dishes. The manufacturing process includes heat treatment to enhance durability, with each piece designed to withstand the rigours of commercial hospitality environments for years of reliable service.

Top Tips for Using Roma 18/10 Stainless Steel Cutlery
To keep your Roma cutlery looking pristine, soak pieces immediately after use to prevent food from drying on surfaces. When washing, avoid abrasive scrubbers that might scratch the finish. For stubborn marks, a paste of baking soda and water works wonders without damaging the steel. Store in cutlery trays or rolls to prevent scratching between pieces, and periodically check tines and edges for damage. Designate special pieces for serving rather than using table cutlery, which will extend the life of your entire collection.
