No, this specific set is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the finish and prevent potential spotting or corrosion, we recommend hand washing and drying the pieces promptly.
The 18/10 designation refers to the composition of 18% chromium and 10% nickel. This high-quality stainless steel offers superior rust resistance and a brighter, more durable luster compared to lower-grade alloys.
The Crescendo II features a classic, plain handle design that feels balanced and substantial in the hand. Because it is crafted from 18/10 stainless steel, it offers a professional weight that feels appropriate for both formal dining and daily use.
While all stainless steel can develop fine surface marks over time with regular use, the plain, polished finish of the Crescendo II is relatively easy to maintain. Using a soft cloth and a high-quality stainless steel polish can help keep the surface looking pristine.
