Full details
The Alessi Dry Cutlery Set is designed for design enthusiasts and home cooks who appreciate the intersection of minimalist aesthetics and practical functionality. Created by renowned designer Achille Castiglioni, this 5-piece set serves as a sophisticated addition to any dining experience, offering a unique contrast between its mirror-polished elements and matte-finished handles. While the high-quality 18/10 stainless steel ensures long-lasting durability, users should be mindful that the specific finish requires careful handling to avoid visible water spots or fingerprints if not dried immediately after washing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required for this cutlery; it is ready to use upon unboxing. To ensure the set maintains its visual appeal, avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh scouring pads, as these can scratch the mirror-polished finish. While the set is dishwasher safe, it is highly recommended to remove the items from the dishwasher promptly once the cycle ends to prevent water mineral buildup or 'tea staining' on the stainless steel. If water marks do occur, a simple buff with a dry microfiber cloth will restore the original luster.
