Cambridge Silversmiths Jubilee Black 20-Piece Flatware Set

Cambridge Silversmiths Jubilee Black 20-Piece Flatware SetIn the cutlery world right now, black is the new black. This set from Cambridge Silversmiths features very nice black handles. I find the entirely black flatware sets are a little unsettling.

The “Jubilee Black” 20 piece setting for four is made of 18/0 Stainless steel mirror finish with durable plastic handles. Each setting has a teaspoon, soup spoon, dinner fork, salad fork and dinner knife. Dishwasher safe with a 25 year warranty and a price than can’t be beat. This is a nice looking set.

Stainless Steel Honey or Jam Spoon – No drips in the wrong places

Well this is a clever bit of cutlery design. This spoon is made of stainless steel and features a longer 5.5 inch handle to reach into deeper jars of honey or jam. Then once you’ve mixed the honey into your tea the spoon has a handy little bend in it to rest on the edge of your cup or the jam jar. And it needn’t be just a spoon for honey or jam, it would be handy for spices and other baking ingredients.

I’ll admit it’s a weird looking spoon but a useful bit of flatware.

  • Gold made food the tastiest because it is the most inert material

Fred Salad Snapper Alligator Salad TongsSomeone complained that our last post about Cymbal Monkey Salad Tongs wasn’t very practical and too loud to let their children use at the dining table. Are these better? They make less noise I would think. And seem to make more of a bite on the salad. Any snarling and snapping alligator noises are not the products fault.

Come on people, lighten up a little. Sometimes mealtime should be fun time, no one said you have to use this cutlery every day. Fred’s Salad Snapper Alligator Salad Tongs are made from abs plastic and stainless steel and dishwasher safe.
