Maintenance of cutlery

Steel quality 

Hardanger Bestikk is durable, easy to maintain and of high quality with 10 years warranty. The products are made of 18/10 steel – 18% chromium and 10% nickel. Chromium makes the steel more durable in terms of hardness. Nickel increases the life of the cutlery by making the steel more resistant to acid and water. The advantage of steel cutlery is that it is dishwasher safe, in addition you do not have to polish it, such as silver. This makes it easy to use the cutlery for both everyday and parties, as you do not have to worry about hand washing and polishing. 

Make sure that the cutlery is completely dry before putting it away, this helps avoid stains.

Maintenance 

When storing the cutlery in a drawer and during use, use marks may occur over time. To keep the cutlery in good condition longer, we recommend storing it in a cutlery bag. Remember to rinse the cutlery well before putting it in the dishwasher. Also make sure that it is completely dry before putting it away, so you avoid stains on the cutlery. Note that water quality and dishwashing detergents/liquids may have different effects on the cutlery. If you see hints of rust stains on the cutlery, we recommend the gentle use of scouring cream.
