What should I think about when I want to buy a cutlery set?
Choosing the right cutlery set depends on your personal preference and the number of people you often dine with. For a small table, you can quickly get by with a set of 4- or 6-piece cutlery sets, while for larger parties or an extended dinner, a 12-piece set is more convenient.
What does a cutlery set consist of?
A standard cutlery set contains the following items:
- Table forks: for eating the main course.
- Table knives: for cutting meat and other dishes.
- Spoons: often for soup or dessert.
- Dessert cutlery: a spoon specifically for dessert.
Different types of cutlery sets
James Cooke offers cutlery sets in different sizes, so you can always find the right set for your situation:
- 4-piece sets: ideal for smaller households or an intimate dinner party.
- 6-piece sets: perfect for the average family meal or when hosting guests.
- 12-piece sets: for larger dinners and upscale occasions, with everything you need for a complete table setting.
There is also children's cutlery, specially designed for little ones. This cutlery is smaller, often with ergonomic handles, making eating a lot easier (and more fun) for your kids.
What cutlery set do I need?
The brands of James Cooke
Cutlery sets come from brands such as EME and Cristema, which truly excel in quality and design. Both brands offer cutlery that is not only super practical, but also has a stylish look to suit any occasion. EME has a modern design, while Cristema has a classic look, so there is something for every taste.
Material of cutlery
The cutlery is made of high-quality 18/10 stainless steel, which makes it not only durable, but also easy to maintain. The 18/10 material, which consists of 18% chromium and 10% nickel, provides extra rust resistance and a beautiful, shiny finish that lasts. Thanks to this high-quality steel, your cutlery will always stay looking neat, without spending a lot of time on it. So no worries about special care or maintenance. Perfect for everyday use!
Silver vs. colored stainless steel cutlery: is it dishwasher safe?
The silver stainless steel (SS) cutlery and colored SS cutlery can both go in the dishwasher without any problem. However, it is advisable to use a mild program, especially for the colored cutlery, to keep the coating nice longer. Silver stainless steel cutlery also stays beautiful in the dishwasher, but to keep the shine, you can wash it by hand occasionally. That way your cutlery will always look radiant!
