FAQs

What material is the Alessi Ovale Cutlery Set made from?

The set is crafted from high-quality, mirror-polished 18/10 stainless steel.

What pieces are included in the set?

The set includes six tablespoons, six table forks, six table knives, and six coffee spoons.

Is this cutlery set dishwasher safe?

While made of stainless steel, handwashing is recommended to maintain the mirror-polished finish. Dishwasher use with harsh detergents can dull the finish over time.

How should I clean the cutlery if I wash it by hand?

Use mild detergent, a soft sponge, and warm water. Dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.

Who designed the Ovale cutlery set?

The set was designed by the acclaimed French design duo Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec.

What is the main benefit of the 18/10 stainless steel?

18/10 stainless steel offers excellent durability, resistance to corrosion and rust, and maintains a beautiful, long-lasting shine.

Can this cutlery be used for everyday meals or only special occasions?

The set is durable enough for everyday use, but its elegant design and polished finish make it particularly well-suited for special occasions and formal dining to enhance the dining experience.

Troubleshooting

Water spots on the surface.

Dry the cutlery immediately after washing with a soft cloth. If spots persist, a mild vinegar solution can sometimes help remove them, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.

Minor scratches on the mirror finish.

Minor scratches are a natural consequence of use on highly polished surfaces. For very light scratches, a specialized stainless steel polish might help reduce their visibility, but avoid abrasive cleaners or pads.

Cutlery seems dull or loses its shine.

Ensure no harsh detergents or abrasive cleaning methods were used. Handwashing with mild soap and thorough drying should restore the shine. For a deeper polish, use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner.
