FAQs
What does 'full tang' mean for this cutlery?
'Full tang' means the metal of the utensil extends through the entire length of the handle. This provides superior strength, durability, and balance compared to cutlery where the tang is only partial.
Is the multicolor design prone to chipping or peeling?
The colors are integrated into the ABS handles, which are designed for durability. However, like most colored plastics, they can be susceptible to scratches or wear over time with aggressive use or improper care.
Can I use this cutlery for serving hot food?
Yes, the stainless steel is suitable for serving hot food. The ABS handles are also designed to withstand typical serving temperatures.
What is the difference between 18/0 and 13/0 stainless steel?
18/0 stainless steel contains approximately 18% chromium and no nickel, offering good corrosion resistance. 13/0 stainless steel is typically used for knives as it is harder and can hold a sharper edge, often containing more carbon.
How many pieces are in this set?
This set includes a total of 24 pieces: 6 table knives, 6 table forks, 6 dessert spoons, and 6 teaspoons.
Are the ABS handles safe for food contact?
Yes, ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a common food-safe plastic used for cutlery handles.
Can I use abrasive cleaners on the handles?
It is not recommended to use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the ABS handles, as this can scratch the surface and dull the finish.
Troubleshooting
Cutlery appears dull after washing.
Ensure you are using an appropriate amount of detergent and that the dishwasher cycle is adequate. Rinse and dry thoroughly to prevent water spots.
ABS handles show signs of wear or discoloration.
Reduce the heat setting on your dishwasher or opt for hand washing. Ensure handles are not positioned directly against the heating element.
Knives are not cutting effectively.
While designed for general use, these knives are not intended for heavy-duty cutting tasks. For optimal performance, ensure they are clean and dry after each wash.
Forks or spoons are bent.
Due to the full tang construction, bending is unlikely under normal use. If bending occurs, it may indicate excessive force was applied. Gentle attempts can be made to straighten, but repeated bending may weaken the metal.
