How Virtu 18/10 Professional Stainless Steel Cutlery Works

The magic of Virtu 18/10 cutlery lies in its composition—18% chromium for exceptional rust resistance and 10% nickel for that distinctive silver-like shine that maintains its lustre meal after meal. This professional-grade ratio creates flatware that withstands the daily punishment of commercial kitchens and aggressive dishwashing detergents. Each piece is precision-weighted to provide perfect balance in the hand, while the seamless construction eliminates crevices where food and bacteria could hide. The ergonomic designs reduce hand fatigue for busy serving staff, and the mirror or satin finishes maintain their appearance through countless service cycles.

Top Tips for Using Virtu 18/10 Professional Stainless Steel Cutlery

For maximum lifespan, always rinse cutlery before dishwashing to remove acidic food residues that can damage the finish over time. Store in cutlery trays rather than loose in drawers to prevent scratching. Consider a pre-soak with mild detergent for stubborn dried-on food. Periodically check for bent tines on forks, which can be carefully straightened. Polish occasionally with a microfibre cloth to maintain that signature shine, especially before important service periods.
