Ébano Consommé Spoon in Dark 18/10 Stainless Steel JAY by Lacor

Ébano Consommé Spoon by JAY by Lacor: a dark finish for soups and broths

The Ébano consommé spoon is a piece of cutlery from JAY, part of the Lacor group, made in Spain from 18/10 stainless steel with a dark finish. It is 193 mm long and 3 mm thick. It is sold in a pack of 12: each box holds 12 identical spoons for serving soups, creamed soups and consommés.

What sets it apart on the table

• Dark finish: it breaks with the usual shine of cutlery and, on a white plate or a light tablecloth, the contrast is clear at first glance.
• 18/10 stainless steel: a neutral material that does not alter the taste of a hot broth and is common in table cutlery.
• 193 mm long: a consommé spoon length, comfortable for eating soup from a deep plate, a cup or a bowl.
• 3 mm thick: it gives the handle a solid feel, so the spoon is held securely on its way to your mouth.
• Sold in a pack of 12: one box with 12 identical consommé spoons, the usual format for laying or restocking several tables.

What it is for and how to lay it on the table

It is the spoon for the finer spoon dishes: consommés, clear broths, light creamed soups and soups served in a cup or a deep plate. On a formal table it goes to the right of the plate, next to the knife, so that it is the first piece used when soup opens the menu. Thanks to its dark finish, it looks best on white or light tableware and plain linen, where the spoon becomes a visible detail without overloading the table. Since it is sold in a pack of 12, count one spoon per guest: one pack covers up to 12 guests and, if there are fewer of you, the rest are spares; dessert spoons are counted separately.

Use and care tips

Rinse the spoon soon after serving, especially if it has been in contact with salty or acidic broths, and dry it with a soft cloth to avoid water marks. To preserve the dark finish, the safest approach is to wash it by hand in lukewarm water with neutral soap and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive scourers, bleach and long soaking, which wear down the finish of any stainless steel. Lacor does not detail how the dark colour is achieved, so treat it with the same care as a delicate piece.
