The cutlery is made of stainless steel and has a plastic handle. The steel is made of precious metal (also called chrome steel or chrome nickel). The steel consists of 18 parts chrome steel and 10 parts nickel. This is also referred to as 18/10. The nickel ensures that the cutlery shines beautifully. The handle is made of metal acrylic. It is a hard plastic (similar to plexiglass). It is heat-resistant and very strong material. Ideal for cutlery. By using these high-quality materials, the cutlery can simply be washed in the dishwasher.
