What to look out for when buying cutlery?
We recommend getting only 18/10 or 18/8 stainless steel flatware, which has a higher nickel content. Avoid purchasing flatware made of 18/0 stainless steel,
since it doesn’t contain nickel and therefore isn’t as resistant to corrosion meaning it will show surface scratching more.
What is good quality cutlery made of?
Flatware is most commonly made with stainless steel, which is best for everyday use since it’s affordable, durable, and easy to care for.
Flatware can also be made of sterling silver, which is where the term silverware comes from.
