Colorful Cutlery! – Fiesta Merengue 5-Piece Hostess Set

Fiesta Merengue 5-Piece Hostess SetColor, Colour, Color! (The extra spelling is for my Canadian readers and an old joke around here). We reviewed the Fiesta 20-Piece Merengue Flatware Set back in 2014 and just discovered the Hostess Set.

This hostess set is made of dishwasher safe 18/0 stainless steel and ABS plastic. The 5 pieces consist of a slotted serving spoon, serving spoon, serving fork, sugar shell and butter knife. I wouldn’t have called it a sugar shell but rather a sugar spoon myself.

Fun Fiesta Flatware For (um…I’ve run out of alliteration ideas) Fun? It’s a great price for a nice set.

OXO Good Grips Wooden Spoon Set

OXO Good Grips Wooden Spoon Set

I despise metal cutlery in non-stick pots and pan. The sound of metal utensils on Teflon is worse than nails on a chalkboard to me. And that’s why I love the value of a quality wooden spoon in the kitchen.

The OXO Good Grips Wooden Spoon Set is made of solid beech wood and completely safe for your non-stick cookware. Especially when scraping the bottom or wacking the spoon on the edge of the pot to shake off remnants. 

There are three sizes for the the three spoons: 12-1/2″L x 2-1/2″W, 10-1/2″L x 2″W and 8″L x 1-3/4″W.

They have a natural oil finish but I recommend only hand washing and use a cutting board oil or another nut oil that is less likely to go rancid to keep them treated well.  This is a great price and every kitchen deserves a good set of spoons like this.
