All about cutlery sets for 12 people

Cutlery. Many do not think about the importance of these items, as they are used every day. And, most likely, they don’t even think about the material from which they are made.

In many families, such a way has not been preserved that dishes should be divided into everyday and festive. Therefore, the separation of cutlery is absent.

In the article we will talk about the spoons, forks and knives themselves.

What types they are divided into, what material they are made of. Consider holiday and gift sets for 12 people.

Before proceeding directly to the description of the cutlery itself, it is worth paying attention to those characteristics that distinguish one or another set:

1. material of which the product is made;
2. product quality;
3. weight and balance of the item;
4. product design.

These 4 points say a lot, for example, about the time of use of the item or the cost of goods.

Most likely, many did not think of what material cutlery is made of. They are simply content with the fact that they are made of metal.

But in fact, there are much more materials for creating meal devices.

Aluminum is not the most expensive and not the most practical option.

Such devices are lighter than devices made of steel, and this material is not afraid of corrosion (but any metal does not like water, therefore too long contact with liquids is undesirable).

But in the market it is not so often possible to find dishes made of this material, since the demand for it is not so great. And all because many are still wondering, they can neither prove nor disprove the fact that aluminum in dishes can be harmful.

Due to the fact that products from this material are not so expensive, aluminum appliances are popular in dining rooms and in public catering.

Stainless or surgical steel - This type is most often used for the manufacture of cutlery. Due to the unique composition, namely: due to the alloy of chromium and nickel, corrosion is not afraid of steel.

Steel is pretty hard to break, much less bend, therefore, products from this alloy will last you a long service.

Plastic. For such devices use special food grade plastic. They are lightweight, practical (if you do not intentionally try to break them, they will last you a long time). Often, these kits come complete with boxes or thermos for soup.

The advantage of such plastic over conventional is that there is no need to throw it away after a single use.

Everyone knows that at the table for each person all dishes are served in portions, and tableware is also given out in portions.

From here comes the following sets of kits: for one person, 6, 8 and 12 people.

The number of items in such sets ranges from 4 to 130, and these are knives, forks and spoons. The quantity may vary depending on the manufacturer or the wishes of the buyer.

It all depends on what equipment you want to choose.

For tea serving, there are also additional items. For example, in addition to a teaspoon, there are coffee, sugar spoons, fruit knives.

A table set for 12 people is the most common among sets. It is often presented as a gift, or purchased just for yourself. Such a service can be divided - some of the appliances made everyday, and the other part left for guests.

The number of items in such a suitcase is 72. Consider what exactly is included in it.

In the simplest version in a suitcase will be:

• 12 dining spoons;
• 12 dining knives;
• 12 dining forks;
• 12 teaspoons.

But if we consider gift sets and more expensive models, then in suitcases you can also find spoons for jam, sauce and sugar scoops, knives and forks for seafood, salad forks of a small size.

Once you have decided on the number of items in the dining set, It is necessary to focus on a number of points.

1. Instruments should sparkle and shimmer. It does not matter what material was used for the forks, knives or spoons. It can be steel, silver, aluminum. The material does not play such a role, the main thing is that the set shines.
2. The edges of the objects should be smooth, without nicks and scuffs.
3. Bending devices should be thickened. The thickening will be responsible for the strength of the instrument at this location. And this thickness should be no less than 1.5 mm.
4. The depth of the spoon, respectively, should be about 7 mm.
5. The knife blade, in addition to sharpening, must undergo additional processing in the form of hardening. This will increase strength and durability.
6. Each item in the set should not have a pronounced smell of metal, as well as the smell of processing or machine oil.
7. It is best to purchase any dishes in special stores where you can check all the moments, discuss all the nuances, and also have a warranty card.
8. When choosing combined tableware, you should pay attention to the joints and joints. There should be no displacements or crevices, and the handle should not move in any way.

Proper operation is not an indicator that the item will serve you for a long time. It is also necessary to properly care for it.

It is worth paying attention that if objects have drawings, spraying or paintings, then they should be washed only with hands without a metal brush.

After eating, all cutlery should be washed. under a stream of warm water, with a mild detergent for dishes and by hand.

If you want to wash in a dishwasher, you should place the devices in a specialized compartment, so that it is better to rinse them so that small objects (for example, a coffee spoon or nozzles) do not get lost or fall into an inaccessible place.

To clean the instruments in a small bowl, dilute the detergent, immerse the dirty dishes there and wait half an hour.

It is allowed to use special paste for rubbing devices. The paste will bring the objects in proper condition and give shine.
