Renge Melamine Ramen Soup Spoon

Renge Melamine Ramen Soup Spoon

Renge Melamine Soup Spoon or Chinese style spoons are essential for soup dishes such as ramen and udon noodles. These melamine spoons are an economical alternative to ceramic spoons. Melamine resin is thermoset, which means that it can withstand high temperatures.

in Japanese the traditional ramen spoon is known as a chirirenge (or, more often, just ″renge″), which literally translates as ″falling lotus petal.

For a regular spoon, you hold it like how you are holding a pen. However, When you hold a renge, you fit your index finger on the ditch or the inner handle pointing into the bowl.

This is a set of 6 pieces melamine soup spoons with a notch and hook to prevent slipping in the bowl for either face down or face up. They are dish washer safe.

Babish 20-Piece Stainless Steel Flatware Set

Babish 20-Piece Stainless Steel Flatware Set

Finally our friend Babish has his own set of cutlery. We knew it was coming but it was a long time coming.

It’s what you would expect from Babish, simple and effective. This 20 piece set of cutlery is made of dishwasher safe 18/8 stainless steel. It consists of four dinner knives, four dinner forks, four salad forks, four tablespoons and four teaspoons.

It seems to be fine flatware, it’s got his name on the knife and it’s a heavy set with a moderate price for the type of flatware. Hey it’s Babish, he’s gotta pay the bills cause Youtube monetization ain’t exactly covering the cost of inflation these days.

Laguiole Knife and Corkscrew

Laguiole Knife and Corkscrew

It is a rare event here at the Cutlery Review that we will talk about knives. Yes, we know that knives are cutlery but the “knife world” is so vast that we are hesitant to go to there. But this knife isn’t just a knife and it’s our camping/hiking/picnicking fave.

This Laguiole Knife and Corkscrew has been in our pocket for wine fueled picnics for over a decade and we love it. They are expensive but it was a gift so that helps 🙂

This Laguiole 12 cm Model with corkscrew weighs 97 g with a blade that is 10 cm and made of 12C27 stainless steel. It features a Juniper wood handle with shepherd’s cross (that’s the pins in the handle in a cross shape). The Bee and spring forged from one piece and fully handmade. The Bee? That’s a the middle of the knife and the sign this is a true Laguiole. This is some classic classy cutlery.
