To help you choose the right flatware for your establishment, we’ve tackled some of the most frequently asked questions below.
What is Amefa cutlery made from?
Amefa cutlery is crafted from high-quality 18/10 stainless steel, selected for its resistance to corrosion, stunning polished mirror finish, and impressive strength. This makes it a fantastic choice for busy hospitality settings.
Is Amefa cutlery dishwasher safe?
Yes, most of our Amefa stainless steel cutlery is dishwasher safe. For the best results, just avoid soaking the pieces for too long and make sure to dry them thoroughly after washing, especially if you’re using colored or PVD-coated cutlery. However, always follow the manufacturer's care instructions.
What’s the difference between 18/10 and 18/0 stainless steel cutlery?
The 18/10 stainless steel contains 10% nickel, which gives the cutlery a brilliant shine and enhances its rust resistance compared to 18/0 steel. Amefa’s premium cutlery collections are generally made from 18/10, making them perfect for professional restaurant and catering use.

What are the most popular Amefa collections?
Our customers really love the Amefa Drift and Amefa Sure ranges. Both are celebrated for their chic designs, high-quality finishes, and their perfect fit for commercial dining environments.
How should I take care of my Amefa cutlery?
To keep your cutlery in top shape, make sure to rinse it soon after use, steer clear of abrasive cleaning pads, and dry each piece right after washing. Taking these steps will help maintain the finish and prolong the life of your Amefa stainless steel cutlery. Please always follow the manufacturer's care guides.
