Karaca Lizbon 30-Piece Stainless Steel Cutlery Set for 6 People, Matte Gold

Q: What is the steel grade and gauge thickness?

A: The set uses 18/10 austenitic stainless steel (AISI 304 equivalent) at 0.8mm gauge. This composition provides corrosion resistance for acidic food contact. Chromium content is 18%, nickel content is 10%.

Q: How many dishwasher cycles will the PVD coating withstand?

A: The matte gold PVD finish is rated for 500+ commercial dishwasher cycles at 60-65°C. Use low-alkalinity detergents (pH 10.5-11.5) to extend coating life. Rinse aid reduces water spotting on the gold surface.

Q: Can individual replacement pieces be ordered after service damage?

A: Yes. TurcoBazaar supplies replacement pieces from the same production batch where available. Lead time for replacement items is 7-10 business days to UK addresses. Minimum order is five pieces per type.

Q: Is this cutlery suitable for banqueting operations with high cover counts?

A: The set handles typical banquet washing schedules of 18-20 cycles per week. For operations exceeding 30 covers per service, order multiple sets to maintain rotation during washing. Each set weighs 2.1kg for transport planning.

Q: Does the knife design comply with UK front-of-house safety regulations?

A: The dinner knife uses micro-serration with rounded tip geometry. Blade length is 95mm. This design meets typical UK hospitality insurance requirements for customer-facing flatware.
