Let me say this right off the top, Lifetime Warranty. And secondly, 18/10 stainless steel that will never rust .  This setting for eight consists of 8 Dinner Forks, 8 Teaspoons, 8 Knives, 8 Salad Forks and 8 Tablespoons. A very classic, solid design for a great price.

But about that statement “will never rust”. Anything will rust in the right conditions and you have to respect that. So they give the following guidelines:

Daily use of your Flatware keeps each piece bright and shiny. Below are some general guidelines to help you care for your sterling silver flatware:
• After each use, promptly wash or rinse your flatware with hot water and dry it.
• If you hand-wash your flatware, use a mild detergent.
• Do not leave your flatware sitting in water, as soaking can permanently damage the metal.
• Keep flatware and stainless steel flatware in separate baskets in the dishwasher.
• If you put the flatware in the dishwasher, keep detergent to a minimum, remove the flatware from the dishwasher before the dry cycle, and then dry items completely with a soft towel.
• Make sure your flatware is completely dry before you store it.
• If using daily: Store flatware in a moisture-free drawer.
• Do not wrap your flatware in rubber bands, plastic or newspaper, or in any material with a high sulfur content.

People, please read and follow these rules and avoid a disappoint.  In our house we never use the dry cycle in the dishwasher, it’s too hard on everything. Just open the door and let it dry naturally from the residual heat of the hot water. With a good rinse agent you won’t get spots, trust me.

There have been some complaints above build up of crud in basket weave band on the handle and some rusting issues. This probably due to over crowding in the dishwasher. Please people, alternate cutlery up and down and keep them separated.

We have covered previously what was claimed to be the World’s Best Butter Knife. Now we have available for sale from Color Cuisine what they are calling The Perfect Butter Knife. So what makes it so perfect? Here’s what they have to say:

• NO MORE TORN BREAD! The only butter grating spreader that actually works on cold butter right out of the fridge. No more long waits for your butter to warm up, or tearing your toast from trying to spread it cold.
• THE END OF FUNKY BUTTER! The knife like holes turn butter into thin strands that heat up quickly and spread effortlessly. Don’t let your butter spoil from storing it on the counter anymore.
• EASY ENOUGH FOR KIDS! Holding the spreader flat produces long tasty strips while holding at an angle creates beautiful curls. Use it to give extra flair to cheese as well.
• SHARP WHERE YOU WANT IT! The beveled cut-outs give the holes a perfect cutting edge and also make it a breeze to clean.
• SATISFACTION GUARANTEED! Made from food-grade 18/8 stainless steel, this tool is safe for the dishwasher and you never have to worry about it rusting.

Those are some pretty big cutlery claims, but over at Amazon the reviews are pretty good. I’ll let you decide for yourself. As for me, I don’t like butter on my bread, Nutella on the other hand…
