What materials is Hardanger Bestikk cutlery made of?

Hardanger Bestikk flatware is made of stainless steel and contains 18% chromium and 10% nickel. Nickel is added to make the cutlery more resistant to acid and water.

Stainless steel is a solid, durable material that is dishwasher safe. Unlike silver cutlery, you don’t have to polish stainless steel cutlery either.

How to properly care for your Hardanger Bestikk flatware

Although stainless steel is a solid and durable material, with the right care, your cutlery will stay in top condition for longer.

Keeping cutlery in a drawer can show signs of wear and tear over time. It is therefore advisable to keep the cutlery in a special cutlery bag.

Before putting the cutlery in the dishwasher, rinse it well. To avoid stains on the cutlery, it is advisable to dry the cutlery well after cleaning. Also keep in mind that the quality of the water and the dishwashing detergent you use can affect the cutlery.
