by electroplating the spoon
Stainless steel is ferrous, you can pick it up with a magnet, also it won't tarnish like silver, unless it's a plated silver spoon, if there is such a thing.
Generally, pure silver is much heavier than a silver plated object. Pure silver objects such as spoons will also have a stamp somewhere on it that will say "925" or "925/1000." This shows you that the spoon has a silver content of 92.5 percent. Silver plated objects will not have this stamp.
