Quality Assurance QUALITY To maximize the beauty and long usage of your stainless or silverplate investment, check each of the quality points shown here. MATERIALS Silverplate – During silverplating, extra silver is deposited on the back of each piece for longer wear. Stainless – All of 1880 Hospitality's stainless includes 18% chrome for superior resistance to food and cleaning chemicals, as well as protection against corrosion. The 18/10 combination includes 10% nickel, respectively, for a soft silver-like luster to complement the exceptional durability. FINISH A quality finish makes flatware more comfortable to hold, more resistant to damage from food particles — and more pleasing to the eye. Overall smoothness and luster are combined with clear crisp pattern styling. Edges should be well buffed with no rough spots. A smooth uniform finish also allows for easier cleaning. Compare other flatware finishes to 1880 Hospitality's, and you'll see why we are the industry leader. GRADING The spoon is thickest at the handle shank and tapers to a thin edge at the bowl's tip, thanks to a rolling process called grading. 1880 Hospitality's grading combines balance with strength. Metal is distributed to areas that need strength, providing durability for rough handling without adding unnecessary bulk. For properly graded flatware that provides superior comfort and durability, look for a graceful taper, strength that resists bending, and a balanced feel. CASTING All borders, handles, spouts, and ornamentation are cast by pouring hot casting alloys into a two piece mold, then quickly cooling in water. The metal hardens instantaneously. The two-piece casting leaves no seam or joints. SOLDERING On each piece of holloware, skilled craftsmen use the exact amount of solder to form a lifelong bond between the casting and the body. STAINLESS AS A LONG-TERM INVESTMENT Quality stainless helps you get more for your tableware investment by providing a longer life of beautiful and durable service. Today's customers are spending more of every dollar dining out. Quality stainless helps create a fine dining atmosphere that keeps this profitable audience coming back. Your stainless steel will give extra long service and will always look great when properly cared for. Materials such as eggs, vinegar and acids found in foods should be removed by soaking, washing and rinsing thoroughly immediately after stainless is used.
