Sistema To Go Collection 4 Piece Cutlery Set

Another item to consider in our ongoing series on Everyday Carry Cutlery. From Sistema is the “To Go Collection” which is a 4 piece cutlery carry case with knife, fork, spoon and chopsticks. It is dishwasher, microwave, fridge and freezer safe made with Phthalate free and BPA free 100% virgin plastic.

It is a very clever design where the cutlery and chopsticks snap into their respective handles to save space when in your bag and on the go. The soup spoon is a little shallow so maybe better for stews and things rather than soups. These would be great for the office or in your bag out and about.

“The Cleft Collection” – Cutlery to educate about cleft lip and palate

This is an amazing mixture of art meets charity meets cutlery.

A special dinner was put together for Smile Asia, a non-profit organization which specializes in treatment and care for the more than the more than 100,000 children born each year in Asia with cleft lip, cleft palate and other facial deformities.

This fancy four-course meal at the Ritz-Carlton hotel with food prepared by chef Massimo Pasquarelli had a special message and a unique way of using flatware to deliver it.

Please watch the video above to see how this event was able to make itself heard very clearly.

Silicone Straws for Everyday Carry Cutlery

Continuing in our theme of Everyday Carry Cutlery we look at replacements for the disposable plastic straws that are being phased out around the world.

These silicone straws are extra big (roughly 10 inch length, 0.35 inner diameter and 0.45 outside diameter). There are six colorful straws that are made of food grade silicon. But wait there’s more! Also included are two more straws that are made of 10/18 stainless steel. All this with a storage pouch and three cleaning brushes.

All that and the company “Kitchen Up” offers a 5 year warranty.

YIHONG Stainless Steel Straws – Everyday Carry Cutlery

My local fast food restaurant just announced they will no longer be supplying disposable plastic straws with my serving of amazing Root Beer. We knew this was coming as it’s all over the press but now it has hit close to home.

Those flimsy cups just don’t work for drinking from the rim so it is time for a new addition to my Everyday Carry Cutlery. It looks like reusable and cleanable stainless steel straws are the way to go.

The YIHONG stainless steel straws set of 8 has 4 bent, 4 straight and 2 cleaning brushes (as seen above). They are 10.5 inches long and made of plastic free, BPA free, dishwasher safe food-grade 18/8 stainless steel. They claim no metal aftertaste and are rust free and scratch proof.

I would recommend giving them a good soapy scrub before using the first time. Sometimes metal products like this have a small amount of machine oil on them from manufacturing.
