Gourmet Settings Twist and Shout Stainless Steel Flatware Set

Gourmet Settings Twist and Shout Stainless Steel Flatware SetHere at The Cutlery Review we had looked at the Gourmet Settings Treble Clef Flatware Set a while back. It is a clever design but we are looking for something even more rustic which led us to another “Gourmet Settings” design called the “Twist and Shout”.

We wanted rustic and we found cutlery that would serve well on any vikings table! This handmade flatware has stainless steel handles that are polished black with clever twisted and knotted end loop. That loop would come in handy for using on a hanging cutlery tree for storage (but that is for another post another day). The business end has a polished mirror finish.

A 20-piece set with service for four that includes a dinner fork, dinner knife, salad fork, table spoon and teaspoon. These are dishwasher safe and covered by a 25-year warranty and before you ask, no, they do not contain pewter.

Plastic Party Halloween Flatware

Let’s think about this for a second, who would buy cutlery that was Halloween themed that wasn’t disposable? Ozzy Osborne? The Munsters? Hard to say, but pretty much all the flatware we look at when it comes to Halloween parties is plastic and disposable. But that doesn’t keep your kids from washing it off to play with it later. These would be good a surprise in your children’s lunches during Halloween as well.

This set from Party America is called “Plastic Fun Shaped Halloween Flatware- Halloween Party” which pretty much explains everything about it 🙂 The set  includes four witch forks, four ghost spoons and four pumpkin knives. The cutlery pieces are six inches in length which makes it the right size for both children and adults.
