Product Information
Full details
The Olympia Bead Dessert Spoon is designed for professional caterers, restaurant owners, and event planners seeking a durable yet elegant cutlery solution. These spoons offer a high-polish finish and a sophisticated beaded border, providing a premium aesthetic to any table setting without the high cost of sterling silver. While they are highly resilient, their 18/0 stainless steel composition requires consistent polishing and proper drying routines to maintain their shine and prevent water spotting in high-volume environments.

FAQs
What does 18/0 stainless steel mean?
18/0 refers to the composition of the steel—18% chromium and 0% nickel. It is a durable, cost-effective material common in commercial cutlery.
Can these spoons be used in an automatic dishwasher?
Yes, they are designed for professional catering use and are dishwasher safe, provided you follow proper drying and maintenance procedures.
How long are these dessert spoons?
Each spoon measures 185mm in length, which is the standard size for a dessert spoon.
Are these spoons magnetic?
Yes, due to the 18/0 composition (lack of nickel), these spoons will be magnetic, which can be useful for magnetic cutlery reclamation systems in busy kitchens.
How many spoons are in one pack?
Each unit includes a pack of 12 dessert spoons.
Is the finish prone to scratching?
Like all polished stainless steel, they can be scratched by abrasive cleaners or rough handling; always use soft cloths for cleaning and polishing.
Troubleshooting
Water spots appearing after dishwashing
Ensure the dishwasher rinse aid reservoir is full and remove the cutlery immediately after the cycle concludes.
Surface appearing dull or cloudy
Perform a manual polish with a clean microfiber cloth or a dedicated stainless steel polishing compound.
Signs of surface discoloration or rust
Check the dishwasher's salt levels and ensure the cutlery is not being soaked in chlorinated cleaners or overly acidic solutions for long periods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Olympia Bead Dessert Spoons remain in peak condition, implement the following care practices:
- Pre-Wash: Rinse items immediately after use to remove acidic food residues that may cause pitting.
- Dishwashing: Place spoons in the cutlery basket with handles facing downward to ensure proper water circulation.
- Drying: Avoid leaving cutlery in the dishwasher overnight. Remove items immediately after the drying cycle completes to minimize moisture contact.
- Storage: Store in a dry, ventilated area. Avoid contact with abrasive cleaning pads or steel wool, which can damage the high-polish finish.
- Maintenance: Periodically polish the spoons with a soft cloth to remove water marks and restore the mirror shine.
