Buying table utensils can be tricky. Prices vary widely. It makes you wonder whether good quality flatware should be the more expensive set. How are you to recognize good flatware? Good quality flatware will start with the material used. It will also matter how much care was taken during the manufacturing process.
Flatware for everyday use is usually made of stainless steel. For good quality stainless steel flatware, the gauge or thickness should be at least 2.5 mm for spoons and forks. You can tell from the surface if it has been manufactured with care. It may be well polished or have a matt finish; the edges should be smooth and free of scratches. No burrs should be evident between the prongs of the forks, the bowls of the spoons.
