Product Information
Full details
The Olympia Jesmond Dessert Fork is designed for professional caterers, restaurants, and event planners seeking a balance between classic aesthetics and practical utility. Its primary benefit is the 18/0 stainless steel construction that features magnetic properties, helping kitchens reduce replacement costs by enabling use with magnetic cutlery bin lids. While highly durable for commercial use, users should note that the 18/0 steel composition is less corrosion-resistant than 18/10 grades, necessitating proper drying protocols after washing to maintain its high-polish finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Olympia Jesmond cutlery, follow these guidelines:
- Compatibility: These forks are fully compatible with magnetic cutlery bins and standard commercial dishwashers.
- Washing: Use a low-alkali detergent. To avoid surface pitting or 'tea staining', do not leave the forks soaking in water or acidic food residue for extended periods.
- Drying: Immediate drying after the wash cycle is recommended. High-polish stainless steel can develop mineral deposits if left to air dry in hard water areas.
- Storage: Store in a dry, ventilated area to maintain the lustre of the silver-tone finish.
