Cambridge Silversmiths Dual Sand Hostess 3-Piece Flatware Set, 18/10 Stainless Steel

These are both attractive and functional. Since they lack any ornamentation they will match just about any flatware, and are perfectly sized for serving most meats and vegetables.

I love the versatility because you have not only a regular serving spoon, but a slotted one as well. And the fork is sized to spear even the thinnest cuts of meat like milenesa, as well as thick cut chops and everything in between.

Another thing I love is the way these utensils were designed to be both lightweight and strong. The strength comes from the way the back side of the handles are formed, which is slightly concave. This makes all of the difference between cheap serving utensils that will actually bend, and solid ones like these that may be light, but are anything but cheap. Plus they are not going to bend unless you put some effort into it.

While the instructions claim these are dishwasher safe, they also had a caveat regarding using lemon detergent which will cause corrosion. Frankly I did not know that, but have taken that warning to heart and have quit using lemon dishwasher detergent because it applies to all stainless steel and not just this product.

These are high quality utensils that are for everyday use, and if properly cared for should last a long time. In fact, they come with a 25 year limited warranty, which says more about the quality than anything I can say.
