We really like Henckels products around our house. And we like the look of the design of the Bellasera cutlery set. This is a 45-piece flatware set with service for 8. That includes a salad fork, dinner fork, knife, tablespoon, and teaspoon. Also included is five piece hostess service set that includes sugar spoon, butter knife, meat fork, serving spoon, and slotted serving spoon. Made of dishwasher safe and corrosion resistant 18/10 stainless-steel.

BTW – I read in Anthony Bourdain’s book last night that slotted spoons are consider female and regular are male. Weird huh?
