KO Stainless steel tableware is an important element on the modern dining table. It is not only related to the hygiene and safety of food, but also reflects the quality and style of life. For tableware wholesalers, distributors or trading companies, how to choose suitable and high-quality tableware is very important.As a professional stainless steel kitchen utensils manufacturer, Purecook has prepared a purchase guide for you. Next, we will explain in detail how to choose satisfactory stainless steel tableware from multiple aspects such as material, craftsmanship, and design. Please follow us to explore this journey of selecting stainless steel tableware!
Different Grades Of Stainless Steel Tableware
In the market, common stainless steel tableware materials include 430 stainless steel, 18-8 stainless steel (also known as 304 stainless steel) and 18-10 stainless steel. The corrosion resistance and strength of these stainless steels vary.
430 stainless steel contains iron and more than 12% chromium, which can prevent oxidation caused by natural factors, but it may still rust under the influence of some non-natural factors, such as certain chemicals.
18-8 stainless steel (304 stainless steel) adds 18% chromium and 8% nickel, making it more resistant to chemical oxidation. This stainless steel material is widely used in life, especially in the field of tableware.
18-10 stainless steel increases the nickel content on the basis of 18-8 stainless steel to achieve higher durability and corrosion resistance, and is suitable for use in severe pollution or special environments.
When choosing, if you live in a general family environment, 304 stainless steel tableware is sufficient to meet daily use needs. However, if you are in coastal areas or high-salinity environments, it is recommended to choose 316 stainless steel tableware, which has better corrosion resistance. If you have higher requirements for corrosion resistance, you can also consider 304L or 316L stainless steel tableware.
In addition, stainless steel can be divided into austenitic stainless steel, ferritic stainless steel and martensitic stainless steel. Austenitic stainless steel has good toughness and plasticity, and is usually non-magnetic, such as 304 stainless steel; martensitic stainless steel has higher wear resistance, hardness and corrosion resistance, such as 410, 420 and other types. You can choose according to the use of tableware and personal preference.
Check The Quality Of Tableware From A Craftsmanship Perspective
Material composition: The material of stainless steel cutlery is usually indicated on the product description or label. Make sure the product you buy is made of food-grade stainless steel to ensure its safety. At the same time, you can pay attention to the nickel and chromium content in stainless steel, which are essential for stainless steel’s corrosion resistance and rust resistance.
Edge treatment: The edges of stainless steel cutlery should be smooth and burr-free to avoid scratching fingers or lips during use. Especially for sharp parts such as knives and forks, pay more attention to whether their edges are finely processed.
Welds and joints: Check whether the welds and joints of the cutlery are flat and flawless. Good stainless steel cutlery is usually handled very finely in these places, without weld marks or obvious joint marks.
Traitement de surface: Observe the surface treatment of the cutlery to see if there are scratches, dents or oxidation. The surface of high-quality stainless steel cutlery should be smooth, bright, and without obvious defects.
Matching and coordination: If you plan to buy a set of stainless steel cutlery, then pay attention to the matching and coordination between the cutlery. Make sure the style, style and size of each cutlery match each other to create an overall aesthetic.
Weight and balance: The weight and balance of stainless steel cutlery are also factors to consider. Cutlery that is too light or too heavy will affect the comfort of use. At the same time, the cutlery should have a good sense of balance so that it can be more stable when used.
