Cutlery materials : stainless steel, solid silver, or gold-plated ?
Choosing the right material is important when purchasing your table cutlery. Whether stainless steel, silver, or silver-plated metal, each material offers its own advantages, influencing both the aesthetic of your table and the durability of your cutlery.
Stainless steel cutlery
Highly favored, stainless steel is known for its durability and resistance to corrosion and heat. Practical and economical, stainless steel cutlery is easy to maintain, making it perfect for everyday use.
Gold-plated cutlery
Golden cutlery shines on the table! For Christmas, birthdays, New Year's, or weddings, their sparkle enhances the most special occasions. However, gold-plated cutlery requires hand washing with a mild detergent and a non-abrasive sponge to preserve their luster; they are generally reserved for special events.
Solid silver cutlery
Silver remains a safe bet for your tables. A noble material par excellence, solid silver cutlery represents French elegance and good taste. Like gold-plated cutlery, regular maintenance is necessary to prevent oxidation and maintain their shine.
Black cutlery
Modern and bold, black cutlery brings a decidedly contemporary style to the table. Combining chic and minimalism, matte black cutlery adds a touch of character to your table setting.
Different types of cutlery and their uses
Table cutlery consists of several elements, each serving a specific function:
Forks: These include dinner forks (the main fork), dessert forks with three tines, and salad forks, which have longer, curved tines to cut through salad leaves. There are also specialized forks for oysters, fish, or cake.
Knives: This category includes the dinner knife (the longest cutlery piece), steak knives with serrated edges and sharp points, and butter knives with rounded tips for spreading.
Spoons: These vary between table spoons (also known as soup spoons), coffee spoons for small glasses and cups for stirring hot beverages, and dessert spoons, which are a middle ground between table spoons and coffee spoons.
How to choose cutlery for everyday use
For daily use, prefer stainless steel cutlery, ideal for its robustness, scratch resistance, and ease of maintenance. Look for knives, forks, and spoons that are dishwasher safe.
For more festive occasions, treat yourself to unique cutlery that will bring a touch of extravagance to your table: colorful cutlery, adorned with original patterns, or textured designs. There is something for everyone on our website; all you have to do is make your choice!
