Common Questions
What is the difference between 18/10 and 18/8 stainless steel flatware?
The second number reflects nickel content, 18/10 offers slightly better shine and corrosion resistance than 18/8 or 18/0.
Is heavier flatware always better quality?
Generally yes, a substantial weight often indicates thicker, more durable stainless steel construction.
Can flatware go in the dishwasher safely?
Most stainless steel flatware is dishwasher safe, though hand washing helps preserve shine on premium finishes longer.
How do I prevent flatware from spotting or rusting?
Dry pieces thoroughly immediately after washing, lingering moisture is the most common cause of spotting.
What flatware finish hides scratches best over time?
Matte or brushed finishes disguise everyday marks far better than highly polished, mirror-like surfaces.
How many flatware place settings should I own?
Eight to twelve place settings suits most households, allowing for guests without frequent washing between courses.
