Karaca Mantilla 84-Piece Stainless Steel Cutlery Set for 12 People, Gold

Q: What stainless steel grade is used in this cutlery set?

A: 18/10 stainless steel contains 18% chromium and 10% nickel. This composition provides corrosion resistance and structural integrity required for commercial dishwasher environments operating at 60-85°C.

Q: How many commercial wash cycles will the gold finish withstand?

A: PVD gold coating maintains visual consistency through 500+ commercial dishwasher cycles at standard detergent concentrations. Finish degradation occurs gradually beyond this threshold depending on water hardness and chemical strength.

Q: Can individual replacement pieces be ordered?

A: Yes. Replacement utensils supplied individually to match existing set finish and weight specifications. Minimum order applies for international shipping of individual pieces.

Q: Is this cutlery suitable for high-temperature sterilization?

A: Material withstands thermal sterilization up to 120°C. Gold finish remains stable at these temperatures but prolonged exposure above 85°C may accelerate surface wear compared to standard wash temperatures.

Q: What is the weight per place setting for table service planning?

A: Each 7-piece place setting weighs approximately 420g. Total set weight 5.04kg excluding protective case. Weight distribution supports balanced service tray loading for banquet operations.
