Know before you buy
No, this spoon is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the mirror polish finish, we recommend hand washing with a soft cloth and mild detergent.
18/10 stainless steel contains a higher nickel content, which provides superior resistance to rust and corrosion compared to lower-grade steels. This ensures the spoon remains durable and retains its luster even with frequent use.
Yes, the spoon is specifically engineered with a generous bowl shape that allows you to scoop and plate creamy risotto without it sliding off the edges.
The 10.24-inch length provides an ideal balance between reach and control. It is long enough to serve comfortably from deep bowls or wide platters while remaining easy to maneuver at the table.
Like most high-polish stainless steel, the surface will show fingerprints with handling. However, the finish is easy to buff clean with a soft, dry cloth to restore its original shine.
