FAQs

How should I wash my stainless steel utensils?

Proper care depends on the quality of the product and the stainless steel used to make it. All Mary Jurek Design utensils made solely out of stainless steel can be washed in your dishwasher. If a utensil features other materials, such as wood, black nickel plating, brass, or buffalo horn, wash it by hand.

Do I need to polish my stainless steel utensils?

We use high-grade 18/8 stainless steel that doesn’t require polishing. Enjoy the beautiful finishes for many years with no maintenance. If your stainless steel serving utensils show fingerprints or mild discolorations, you can use a soft cloth and stainless steel polish to restore them to like-new condition.

What does 18/8 mean for stainless steel?

Stainless steel contains other metals—chromium and nickel. 18/8 refers to the stainless steel’s grade, which is based on the amount of each metal that’s present. 18/8 means the stainless steel has 18% chromium and 8% nickel.

Why is 18/8 stainless steel better than other grades?

Besides being beautiful and durable, 18/8 stainless steel is the ideal choice for serveware and flatware because it’s food-safe, hygienic, heat-resistant, and anti-corrosive.

How long will stainless steel serving ware last?

The lifespan of stainless steel serving utensils varies widely depending on their quality. Many mass-produced stainless steel utensils will rust or break within a month of use. Depend on all our stainless steel products to last for a century or longer.

Are all stainless steel utensils made by hand?

No, many manufacturers use machinery to produce their utensils quickly in mass quantities. We craft each piece individually by hand to ensure the highest level of quality and eye appeal. While the traditional techniques we use demand significantly more time, work, and skill, we firmly believe the results are well worth the effort. Our customers agree.

Are stainless steel utensils suitable for formal events?

Not all stainless steel serving utensils are appropriate for formal occasions, but Mary Jurek Design products will elevate even the most prestigious tablescapes. Beyond their timeless elegance, our utensils offer a very pleasant weight, balance, and hand feel that exudes quality and class.

Are stainless steel utensils good for the environment?

As a brand that focuses on social and environmental awareness, we take pride in offering stainless steel serving ware that’s 100% recyclable and sustainable. Additionally, using reusable, long-lasting stainless steel utensils naturally minimizes paper and plastic waste.

Will stainless steel utensils change the flavor of my food?

Low-grade stainless steel utensils may give food a metallic taste, especially acidic dishes, due to the higher amounts of carbon present. Our high-grade 18/8 stainless steel serving utensils are non-reactive to ensure a pleasant dining experience.

Is stainless steel flatware in style?

Our products are always timeless to ensure your favorite home essentials transcend fleeting trends. Quality never goes out of style, and our versatile designs are attractive without conforming to or being influenced by passing fads.
