hicorfe Portable Utensil Set with Case

hicorfe Portable Utensils Set with Case

Bring-your-own cutlery (BYOC) is getting a lot more attention these days due to health concerns. Taking your own cutlery to the office or eating out at cafes is more common now. One of the draw backs of various portable packed flatware was size and easy of use. They tended to be tiny weird plastic contraptions. The company “hicorfe” looks to address that with this set of portable adult sized utensils.

This is a proper knife, fork and spoon in carrying case. The knife has decent serrations for cutting meat and they all have nice wooden handles. The durable case is made from food grade PP Plastic and the cutlery from 430 stainless steel and natural wood. They had some problem with the case design but rebuilt it and are offering refunds on old ones.

They are a decent size as well: 7.8 inches knife, 7.5 inches fork, 7.6 inches spoon and 9.3 inches for the carrying case.

Not dishwasher safe due to the wood on the handles but this really should just be hand washed and dried properly before being put in the case.

Knork Black Matte Titanium Stainless Cutlery Set

Knork Black Matte Titanium Coated Stainless 20-Piece Set

Back in 2015 Oprah Winfrey had her list of favorites and included this black matte titanium cutlery set from Knork. We have looked at Knorf’s Knife and Fork combo in a past post, and it’s seems they have dropped focus on the spork gimmick for a more robust product.

The Knork Black Matte Titanium Coated Stainless 20-Piece Set as shown above is using the strength of their patented design. This hand forged 20 piece black silverware with service for 4 set includes 4 each of dinner knife, dinner fork, salad fork, soup spoon and teaspoon.

Interestingly they list the flatware item weights:
Dinner Fork: 7.625” 78 g
Salad Fork: 6.75” 65 g
Dinner Knife: 9” 95 g
Teaspoon: 6.75” 75 g
Tablespoon: 7.625” 90 g

They claim to be dishwasher safe 18/0 stainless steel but ask you don’t use lemon or citrus scented detergent. I’m assuming they are concerned the citric acid could remove the titanium coated finish. In particular they call out Finish brand: “Using a non-citrus stainless steel liquid detergent is recommended, as any powders or pacs tend to be abrasive or harsh and can ruin the finish if they are not dissolved properly. This includes especially the Finish brand tabs with the red power balls in the middle, which seem to be the hardest to dissolve.”

Black Silverware Set, LIANYU 20-Piece Stainless Steel Flatware Cutlery Set for 4,

Back in black! LIANYU is having great success with this 20-piece stainless steel black flatware cutlery set for 4 people.

This 20 piece flatware set include four each of a Dinner Spoon, Dinner Fork, Dinner Knife, Salad/Dessert Fork, and Teaspoon. It is all packaged in a nice box suitable for gifting.

The wonderful black sheen is due to Vacuum Electroplating technology on stainless steel. And they claim dishwasher safe but be careful with high acid/citric cleaners and letting them slam into each other in the dishwasher. Be warned this could cause loss of the finish and rusting. This is a nice set of cutlery that needs care and attention to last.

The Korean Rice Spoon

Korean Rice Spoon

The first time I used a Korean rice spoon things changed. I started looking at my current roster of spoons in a different way. Suddenly my regular cutlery was too short and the bowls not deep enough.

A Korean rice spoon is amazing at digging to the bottom of a bowl of rice, pasta, oatmeal or whatever. And they are great for mixing drinks in glasses. And stirring in pots while cooking. They are a superior food delivery device over our European flatware.

These Korean rice spoons are from a company called Fantasy. This set of eight spoons are made of 3 mm thick high quality stainless steel. And yes they are dishwasher safe.
