Rating of the best cutlery manufacturers for 2020

For everyday use, cutlery is selected in a classic design. The main purchase criteria are strength, safety and durability. Accordingly, the price segment for such products will be low. For setting the festive table, housewives, as a rule, have a backup option - products of medium or expensive price category, which, first of all, amaze with their beauty and non-standard shape. Sets for catering and recreation establishments (for example, hotels) are selected according to the same principle. The more prestigious the establishment, the more expensive and more beautiful the cutlery. Since there are many companies on the sales market, the question arises of how to choose the required product. The following is an overview of the best cutlery manufacturers for 2020 with a brief description of the activities, as well as the best representative model.

General information about cutlery - selection criteria

Each brand emphasizes its individuality, which, first of all, depends on the material from which the cutlery is made. Then the appearance of the product and its value are assessed.

Classification of cutlery

This type of product is usually divided into several categories, each of which has its own nuances. Having studied each item in detail, it will be easier to navigate which company is the best product.

According to the material of manufacture, kitchen tools are:

• made of plastic;
• made of stainless steel;
• wood;
• aluminum;
• table silver;
• from cupronickel.

Historical information! Cupronickel fixtures are a single-phase copper-nickel alloy, to which iron and manganese are sometimes added. It got its name "cupronickel" from the French inventors from "Maillot" and "Chorier", who presented their discovery to the public in 1819.

The types of devices are classified into 2 groups: main and auxiliary. The first category includes: a snack set, fish, table, dessert, fruit, spoons, forks and chopsticks. The second category includes special devices that are not for everyday use: a fork knife, various blades, scissors, tongs.

By design, products are: for children, adults, gift, everyday or festive (serving).

On a note! The snack, fruit and fish set includes a fork and knife, and a spoon is also added to the table and dessert set.

Tips for choosing

Before buying a product, you need to have a clear idea of ​​your desires. There are some guidelines to help you choose:

• for what purpose the purchase is made;
• product properties;
• which manufacturer;
• where can I buy;
• at what price.

For example, for a child, if his age is from 9 months to 3 years old, plastic spoons and forks are often purchased. They are sold in pharmacies, children's stores, or supermarkets. Depending on the validity period and manufacturer, the price is set. But, as practice shows, the high cost in the first two establishments, budget prices - in hypermarkets (children's department).

If you choose children's sets for preschool age, then their size will be smaller than for adults, but they are made of the same material. Although it is worth noting that often preschoolers, imitating adults, refuse to use compact devices and choose a spoon / fork, "like a mother's."

The gift set should be of high quality in composition, presentably packaged and outwardly different from ordinary tools for eating. Hand-painted, elements of gilding or silver, an ergonomic shape can act as a decor.

For restaurants, expensive buffets and celebrations, it is better to use silver or stainless steel appliances, but with an unusual design.

For home cooking, the most common option is stainless steel cookware.

On the technical side, it is important how many copies are in the package. For a picnic, it is better to take plastic cutlery for the required number of people. For home gatherings, up to 6 people, one package will be enough, for a large-scale event - several, but the products must be made of metal. Going on a business trip or study (students) it is best to take the products by the piece.

Note! Aluminum products are rare, as they are easily deformed and quickly become unusable.

All appliances are recommended to be washed by hand, although some items can be processed in the dishwasher. Blackening, for example, on cupronickel products can be dealt with by means of improvised mixtures and solutions: baking soda, ammonia, chalk, tooth powder, and the like. And there is blackness and stains with improper care.

Recommendations! If you store "dishes" in a dense cling film or a tightly closed container, then it will not darken so quickly due to the fact that air cannot penetrate into the storage.

Shopping - Best Places

The easiest and most convenient way to purchase a product is to order it online. But, if we are talking about children's dishes, then there is nothing better to find a pharmacy and children's stores, although the prices for it will be higher than in an online store or large hypermarkets.

Note! The price segment will determine the popularity of models among the population, composition, appearance, production.

It is not always possible to find goods of European quality on the shelves of your city, therefore purchases are made virtually. But domestic products are in an accessible format and are cheaper to buy in real stores. Nevertheless, many people prefer branded kitchen tools, despite the price tag, because which company is better to buy them is the buyer's choice.

Before purchasing on the sites, you can read customer reviews, study the product description in detail, since it is not always clear from the photo about the composition of the devices.

Output

Kitchen utensils, as statistics show, are made of stainless steel. Depending on the supplier, additives of other alloys or materials (wood, silicone, plastic) are possible. In order not to make mistakes when choosing, it is necessary to carefully examine food tools for defects.

On a note! Regardless of the shape and design of the fork / spoon, it is important that a balance is always maintained between the two parts of the product (handle and working part - teeth, blade, etc.). For this, a tool is placed on the finger in the bend between the two main parts, and if nothing outweighs, it means that the product is of high quality.

What else should you pay attention to: size, weight, price segment, supplier. Although the Russian assortment is huge, buyers prefer utensils from Europe, but if you compare the technical properties, the main difference is only in the thickness of the product and design (the length can be any).
