Rating of the best manufacturers of cutlery for 2022

For everyday use, cutlery is selected in a classic design. The main criteria for buying - strength, safety and durability. Accordingly, the price segment for such products will be low. For serving a festive table, housewives, as a rule, have a fallback - medium or expensive products, which, first of all, strike with beauty and non-standard shape. By the same principle, sets are selected for catering and recreation establishments (for example, hotels). The more prestigious the establishment, the more expensive and beautiful the cutlery. Since there are many companies in the sales market, the question arises of how to choose the right product. Attention is presented with an overview of the best cutlery manufacturers for 2022 with a brief description of the activity, as well as the best indicative model.

General information about cutlery - selection criteria

Each brand emphasizes its individuality, which, first of all, depends on the material from which the cutlery is made. Then the appearance of the product and its value are evaluated.

Cutlery classification

This type of product is usually divided into several categories, each of which has its own nuances. Having studied in detail each item, it will be easier to find out which company has the best product.

According to the material of manufacture, kitchen tools are:

• from plastic;
• stainless steel;
• tree;
• aluminum;
• table silver;
• from cupronickel.

Historical information! Cupronickel fixtures are a single-phase alloy of copper and nickel, to which iron and manganese are sometimes added. Nickel silver got its name from the French inventors from Maillot and Chorier, who presented their discovery to the public in 1819.

Types of devices are classified into 2 groups: main and auxiliary. The first category includes: a snack set, fish, table, dessert, fruit, spoons, forks and chopsticks. The second category includes special devices, not for everyday use: a knife-fork, various shovels, scissors, tongs.

According to the intended purpose, products can be: for children, adults, gift, everyday or festive (serving).

On a note! The snack, fruit and fish set includes a fork and knife, and a spoon is added to the dining and dessert set.

Selection Tips

Before buying a product, you need to have a clear idea of ​​\u200b\u200bits desires. There are some guidelines to help you choose:

• what is the purpose of the purchase;
• product properties;
• which manufacturer;
• where could I buy;
• at what price.

For example, for a child, if his age is from 9 months to 3 years, plastic spoons and forks are often purchased. They are sold in pharmacies, children's stores or supermarkets. Depending on the period of validity and the manufacturer, the price is set. But, as practice shows, the high cost in the first two establishments, budget prices - in hypermarkets (children's department).

If you choose children's sets for preschool age, then their size will be smaller than for adults, but they are made of the same material. Although it is worth noting that often preschool children, imitating adults, refuse to use compact appliances and choose a spoon / fork, “like their mother”.

The gift set must be of high quality in composition, presentably packaged and externally different from ordinary eating tools. Hand-painted, gilded or silver elements, ergonomic shape can act as a decor.

For restaurants, expensive receptions and holidays, it is better to use silver or stainless steel appliances, but with an unusual design.

For home cooking, the most common option is stainless steel cookware.

As for the technical side, it is important how many copies are in the package. For a picnic, it is better to take plastic cutlery for the right number of people.For home gatherings, up to 6 people, one package will be enough, for a large-scale event - several, but the products must be made of metal. Going on a business trip or to study (students), it is best to take products by the piece.

Note! Aluminum products are rare, as they are easily deformed and quickly become unusable.

All appliances are recommended to be washed by hand, although some items can be processed in the dishwasher. Blackening, for example, on cupronickel products can be dealt with by means of improvised mixtures and solutions: baking soda, ammonia, chalk, tooth powder, and the like. And there is blackness and stains with improper care.

Recommendations! If you store the "dishes" in a dense cling film or a tightly closed container, then it will not darken so quickly due to the fact that air cannot penetrate into the storage.

Buying goods - the best places

The easiest and most convenient way to purchase a product is to order it online. But, if we are talking about children's dishes, then it is better not to find anything in a pharmacy and children's stores, although the prices for it will be higher than in an online store or large hypermarkets.

Note! The price segment will be determined by the popularity of models among the population, composition, appearance, production.

It is not always possible to find goods of European quality on the shelves of your city, so purchases are made virtually. But domestic products are in an accessible format and it is cheaper to buy them in real stores. However, many prefer branded kitchen tools, despite the price tag, because which company is better to buy them is the choice of the buyer.

Before buying on the sites, you can read customer reviews, study the product description in detail, since it is not always clear from the photo about the composition of the devices.

Conclusion

Kitchen utensils, as statistics show, are made of stainless steel. Depending on the supplier, additions of other alloys or materials (wood, silicone, plastic) are possible. In order not to make mistakes when choosing, it is necessary to carefully examine the food tools for defects.

On a note! Regardless of the shape and design of the fork / spoon, it is important that a balance is always maintained between the two parts of the product (the handle and the working part - teeth, blade, etc.). To do this, a tool is placed on the finger in a bend between the two main parts, and if nothing outweighs, it means that the product is of high quality.

What else should you pay attention to: size, weight, price segment, supplier. Although the Russian assortment is huge, buyers prefer utensils from Europe, but if we compare the technical properties, the main difference is only in the thickness of the product and design (the length can be any).
