This is flatware in the truest sense. It is a 20 piece set with fork, knife, spoon and dessert spoon and the design is from stamped stainless steel. A great set with a great value.
“Fornuft” is a silly name for a flatware set I said to myself. A little googling and looking closely at the photo shows that this is an Ikea product. “Fornuft” translates into “reason” which I guess fits considering this is a reasonable flatware set.
If you can’t get to Ikea you can always get it from Amazon:
Creating the perfect pie is an art. I spent a few days in training with a Master Baker from the CIA (Culinary Institute of America) and as a result I really have learned to appreciate what it takes to make a perfect crust. I can’t make a pie, what did you expect I only had a few days.
When you ask someone to describe “pie shaped” they usually describe a perfect triangle with a curved side. Not a crumbled mess on a plate. Trying to serve pie or cake for that matter without the proper tools results in the destruction of your hard work.
This 2-piece cake and pie serving set from Towle is themed for the Christmas holiday. It has a cake knife that is topped with a candy cane and a server with a snowman. Make sure to hand wash to avoid corrosion or losing the silver alloy plating. And don’t let your pie be destroyed by trying to use a fork and knife made for carving the turkey!
We’ve been given this set as a gift, twice. So that must mean something. And I’ve noticed these pieces in many a drawer and dishwasher. Which brings me to my first point about this start cutlery set by Rada: Don’t put in the dishwasher! The steel for the blades are wonderfully super sharp, hold an edge, and quite flexible. But the silver brushed handles are made of aluminum (which makes a nice non-slip grip) and that aluminum will tarnish and pit if you put it in the dishwasher.
The set contains a regular paring knife, vegetable peeler, tomato slicer, long parer, 6″ bread knife, cook’s knife, and a slicer. It does make a great gift for the student or someone who never has a decent knife in the house when you visit.
I’ll admit to living off of Ichiban cup-o-noodles (or the brick-o-noodles) in college. I have to further admit that it is still my go-to meal at work when I’ve forgotten lunch, am too lazy to go out, or just don’t have any time for anything more.
The Calamente Fork that I first read about over at my fave site BoingBoing is a Japanese product that is made for picking up noodles (ramen or spaghetti) and twirling effectively. The design on this piece of cutlery is elegant and more of a single use tool and conversation piece than anything. But clever none the less.
