Picnic Travel Backpack Plates Cutlery Set

Picnic Travel Backpack Plates Cutlery SetI am declaring that summer is here, official or not. And summer requires picnics and that requires good food and drink. And what better to shlep all the equipment you require than a picnic backpack? My parents gave us one and I plan on using it as much as possible this summer season.

The “All In One Picnic Travel Backpack Plates Cutlery Set” from Furniture Creations comes with a full place setting for four. Look at the picture above. Spot for the wine bottle, cutting board, plates, glasses, cutlery, and an insulated pack to keep food cold. Now just imagine that nice spot in the park and the delicious meal. And the sunshine. And the seaside. And the ants, remember there are always ants at a picnic 🙂

Gourmet Settings Treble Clef Flatware Set

Gourmet Settings Treble ClefFor some reason the two most popular influences on cutlery design that I’ve seen are nature (trees and flowers) and music. Why music? Well, there’s the “fiddleback” design, which is the flared end of the handle looking like the body of a violin or fiddle that we’ve seen before. And now there is this “Treble Clef” flatware set by “Gourmet Settings” which are said to be inspired the scroll on the handle of a violin.

The shiny mirrored 18/10 stainless steel of the upper half of the cutlery contrasts wonderfully with the rustic blackened handles. The set includes four place settings with salad fork, dinner fork, knife, soup spoon, and teaspoon (to be honest they are threeks not forks). A great price for a cutlery set with a 50-year warranty.

Special Spoons by Ineke Hans

Special-Spoons-by-Ineke-HansThese Special Spoons by designer Ineke Hans are a cute little set of “snap-out” plastic cutlery. The intent is they are to be used for those special situations where regular flatware will not do. Olive jars, jam jars, spreads and other snacks is where these little tools come in the handiest. They are a little pricy but a very unique design that should be considered.

Oneida is probably the most common name you will see reviewed on this site. The reason being, in my opinion, is they deliver a very broad spectrum of products for every situation. This 45-piece flatware set is a middle of the road set with a good price. 
It has 8 settings of dinner forks, salad forks (the salad fork has a wider left tine for cutting soft foods), tablespoons, teaspoons, and knives. The 5-piece service set has a serving spoon, pierced serving spoon, serving fork, sugar spoon, and butter knife. It is 18/0 stainless-steel that is dishwasher-safe (but don’t wash next to other metals) with a limited lifetime warranty.
