I can’t pronounce Pfaltzgraff, I’ve read they were Pennsylvanian potters. Hoopla I can pronounce and understand though 🙂

The “Pfaltzgraff Hoopla Frost Stainless Steel Flatware, 45-Piece Set, Service for 8, with Wire Caddy” is exactly what it says and that’s a lot. Besides the wire cutlery caddy you get a 45-piece set consisting of a setting for 8 of dinner fork, salad fork, dinner knife, dinner spoon, and teaspoon. But wait there’s more, you get a 6-piece hostess set with 1 tablespoon, 1 pierced tablespoon, 1 cold meat fork, 1 sugar spoon,  and 1 butter knife.

It is made of stainless steel that has a lifetime limited warranty. And remember folks, you throw them in a pile in the dishwasher and you gonna get rust spots no matter how dishwasher safe they might say. So be kind to your cutlery.

Pepper? Mirror? Hammered? OK, I think I get it. This flatware from Farberware has a handle designed with a mirror finish that has been hammered to look like there are peppercorns in it. Anyone agree? Any other theories on this?

That said, it’s a pleasant design for a pretty good price. It’s a large set with service for 8 people that includes a salad fork, dinner fork, dinner knife, dinner spoon,  and teaspoon. It also comes with a service set that consists of a serving spoon, slotted spoon, cold meat fork, sugar shell and butter knife.

It’s made of 18/0 stainless steel that is dishwasher safe, just don’t let it sit in a pile in water overnight as you might get rust spots.
