Mikasa's flatware patterns reflect the same style and sophistication found in our other popular categories. A majority of Mikasa patterns are 18/10, which means that 18% chromium and 10% nickel have been added to the basic alloy. The high nickel content gives the steel a warm, soft luster and the chromium adds strength and resistance. Stainless steel is affordable, durable, needs no special care, is dishwasher safe and withstands harsh detergents. Under proper care and use, our flatware has superb resistance to staining from virtually all foods and household substances and will not need to be polished.
