Choosing the Best Cutlery Set for You
Quality should always be the primary concern in your silverware choices (as it should be in everything). The quantities of chromium (which helps prevent corrosion, thus making it stainless) and nickel in stainless steel are graded (which adds strength and a richer luster). The most prevalent cutlery grades are:
18/0 chromium alloy with at least 18% chromium and nearly no nickel
18/10 chromium/nickel alloy comprising at least 18% chromium and 10% nickel
The Madison and Cosmopolitan collections are both made of 18/10 stainless steel with a weight gauge of 2.5mm, which is the most expensive and finest quality stainless steel. This implies they will keep their luster for a longer period of time and will be more resistant to scratching, pitting, and bending.
