How Sirocco 18/10 Stainless Steel Cutlery Works
Ever wondered what makes professional cutlery different from your home drawer collection? Sirocco 18/10 cutlery blends smart design with superior materials—the 18% chromium provides corrosion resistance while 10% nickel adds strength and that brilliant silver shine. Each piece undergoes multiple polishing stages for a perfect finish before being quality-tested for balance and weight. The ergonomic handles feel substantial in the hand, while knife blades maintain their edge through countless service cycles. Remarkably, the high nickel content helps it withstand harsh commercial dishwashers and chemical detergents that would ravage lesser cutlery.

Safety Guidelines

- Handle With Care Avoid dropping—damaged pieces can have sharp burrs.

Top Tips for Using Sirocco 18/10 Stainless Steel Cutlery
To maintain your Sirocco cutlery's pristine condition, always pre-rinse before dishwashing to remove acidic food residues. Store in dedicated cutlery trays to prevent scratching, and use a stainless steel polish monthly to refresh any dulling pieces. When setting tables, ensure cutlery is fingerprint-free by handling with clean cotton gloves. For extra shine before important service, a quick buff with a microfibre cloth works wonders—particularly for special events.
