Oneida Satin Sand Dune 45-Piece Set, Service for 8

Oneida Satin Sand Dune 45-Piece Set, Service for 8I purchased this service for 8 flatware set and also a service for 4 flatware set (both Satin Sand Dune) three months ago, so I could have a complete service for 12. I have included the product link for the service for 4 set at the end of this review, if you care to view it. Since my purchase, it appears that there has been some mix-up in Oneida's labeling of the flatware. Some customer reviews state that the flatware is not actually 18/8, but 18/0, and, therefore, poorer quality and an inferior product.

As of right now, on the service for 8 set product page (this product page), Amazon has 18/0 as the rating in Product Features. I thought when I originally purchased the product it was advertised as 18/8, but, unfortunately, I cannot fully remember if I noticed how the Oneida box was marked when I received the package.

So all of that is definitely confusing to me. But, to be fair, I have to report that after three months of using this flatware everyday and washing it in my dishwasher, I am very pleased with both the quality and the luster of my Satin Sand Dune sets. They still sparkle like new, there is no rust visible on any of the pieces at all, or any unexplained bending or warping, and the pieces all stack nicely and evenly in my silverware caddy.

It has been stated that the reason the flatware is rated as 18/0 is because the nickel was left out of the content of the flatware when it was manufactured. Well, if that is true, as it turns out, I have sensitive skin and cannot wear any type of jewelry other than gold or platinum. My dermatologist explained to me that this was a common allergy and was caused by the nickel content found in costume jewelry, including sterling silver jewelry. So, for me, and others with the same condition, flatware without nickel is probably a very good thing.

My old flatware set was rated at 18/10, and I did find this flatware slightly lighter in weight, but not any lighter than if it was actually rated at 18/8, as I expected. I had no clue about the 18/0 rating until I decided to write my own positive review about the product and came back here to the amazon product pages. I certainly support truth in advertising as much as the next person, but, really, who truly knows how or when the mis-labeling occurred? Mistakes can happen to manufacturers also, and at least it appears Oneida and Amazon have made an attempt to correct the original error.

The only thing I feel a little bad about is that I actually paid about thirty dollars more for this service for 8 set when I bought it in May, but that is just timing and the luck of the draw! At the time of writing this review, Amazon now has this 45 piece Satin Sand Dune set with the serving pieces at a reduced price. In my opinion, that price is a bargain.

So, I certainly wish you good luck with your shopping decision, as I know this confusion with the rating just makes it more complicated. But, if anyone wants to know if I, personally, would purchase this product again for myself, or as a gift for someone, I would have to say most definitely, yes, especially after putting it to the test for the last three months. And that goes for both the 20 piece set and this 45 piece set with the serving pieces. They both still look brand new.

Oneida Satin Sand Dune 20-Piece Stainless Steel Flatware Set, Service for 4

I have the Satin Sand Dune flatware set, all "made in USA"...

I ordered this 45 piece to have extra forks (etc) and it was "made in Vietnam".

The Vietnam piece's are very similar, but not the same. Bent slightly different, varying widths etc. Lesser quality for sure.

The box says "made in usa/china/vietnam/etc" so I guess you get what you get.

I love the simple elegance of this flatware. But even more, the design is perfect for someone who wants a smaller light-weight spoon. I saw this set at the Oneida Outlet Store for $99 and paid only $67 for it on Amazon. Pays to shop/browse!

We had this flatware for 4 years and it still looks okay. But now we are buying new ones because it has lost its shine from all the washing. Can cut through steak but not so with ease unlike other brands. Lightweight and just right for everyday use but not for more formal dinings. For 18/0 this is okay for everyday. Simple but not elegant.

Curious Chef Fruit & Vegetable Peeler

Curious Chef Fruit & Vegetable PeelerThis peeler only works properly if you peel towards yourself. And you have to exert a fair amount of force for it to work. So my son peeled the skin off his knuckle on first use...we'll stick with our adult peeler for him.

I bought this for my daughter as she loves to help in the kitchen. She received it in her stocking last year. At five years old this is still to cumbersome for her to handle, she prefers to use my zester to peel everything, and this gets put back in the drawer everytime. Its a wonderful idea, but I think this would be better for an older child with larger hands.

Deba-Style Flexible Thai Knife (#171), Kiwi

Deba-Style Flexible Thai Knife, KiwiI read about Kiwi knives on Reddit and then various blogs and decided to try a couple out. They're phenomenal... especially for the price! But the price here, (as of this writing, $13.89 + $6.25 shipping), is a lot more than you need to pay. Look for a Vietnamese grocery store in your area (or Thai or Chinese, probably, too) and you will find a variety of Kiwi knives available for sale. I paid $6 for this knife at a Vietnamese grocery store in Fort Worth, Texas.

Kiwi knives are known for both their effectiveness and their affordability. While they tend to dull rather quickly (depending on what type of work you are doing, and how often,) they can be sharpened just as easily. As a sushi chef, I (as well as many/most cooks and chefs in any given restaurant,) use this style of Kiwi knife for a lot of daily prep and various odd jobs, and they have always held up well.

Having said that, I wouldn't bother buying them on here, as this price (listed as $18.99 with Prime,) is quite literally ten times what I have paid for this type of knife at my local Asian markets. You can get them from other distributors on here for $13.89, but that's still far too much for what I've known for them to cost. So, while I highly recommend them, I would only purchase them here if you have no other options regarding availability.

Buy Deba-Style Flexible Thai Knife (#171), Kiwi Now

I'm a professional cook and I own knives that cost way way more than this knife, but I have a great fondness for Kiwi knives. Their thin metal takes an edge very well and holds it relatively well depending on what you use it on. This is strictly for vegetable or boneless meat and fish cutting. I have no experience with their cleaver-type knives, but the chef's style and the "vegetable cleaver" (flat edge, thin blade) are one of the best ways to get the job done. I purchased it online for convenience, but Kiwi knives are easily obtainable for several dollars less in your local Asian kitchen and/or food shop.

This is exactly what you should buy if you want an excellent value knife. Instead of picking up a whole set of heavy, dull, thunkers in plastic packaging in a superstore, get one of these and a cheap paring knife. Sharpen if if you know how or want to learn. This is the perfect knife to learn how to use a whetstone with. Throw it out and buy a new one if that's too intimidating.

One of the best knives you can get. It cuts and cuts. If you straighten the blade before every use, you will never go wrong with this knife. I would not use this knife to chop through bones (especially chicken bone) because the blade is really thin, but it will cut through cartilage without a problem.

Want Deba-Style Flexible Thai Knife (#171), Kiwi Discount?

This knife is my favorite, Cuts tomatoes, baguettes and fresh soft bread without squashing it, trims meat, cuts spare ribs, great for lettuce cabbage, fruit, everything. I does not hold an edge very well but you can easily restore the edge with a whet stone, or knife sharpener that usually comes in a carving set (don't know how it works with knife sharpening wheels or other gizmos). I give it as housewarming gifts. So do yourself a favor and try one, you will be happy and save money.

OXO SteeL 11-Piece Barware Set

OXO SteeL 11-Piece Barware SetMy husband loved this Set for his Bar, everything in it is so helpful, of good quality and very nice. What's more I think is very good convinient to buy this set where you have most of the bar needs in a very good price, better than buying separetly.

I purchased this set as a surprise for my husband. He loves it. Everything is made of sturdy steel. Nothing feels flimsy. The set is very attractive and classy looking. I especially like the ice tongs. I have had other tongs that are awkward and difficult to use. Not these. There are teeth on the tongs for grabbing the ice. They are comfortable to use. We have received many compliments on this set. I am purchasing another set for a friend whose ice tongs I broke during our last barbeque. I recommend this set very much. The only thing I do not like about this set, a very small thing, is the lid to the ice bucket cannot be removed.

Shun DM0720 Classic Hollow-Ground Slicing Knife, 9-Inch

Shun DM0720 Classic Hollow-Ground Slicing Knife, 9-InchKershaw-Shun makes the best knives I've ever owned, bar none. They come with a razor edge and are easy to re-hone with just a few strokes on the Kershaw-Shun steel (well worth purchasing to accompany this set). All their knives utilize the damascus pattern and perfectly crafted profile slice through darn near anything (food-like anyway) with ease. The scalloped detailing on this one creates air pockets which prevent food from adhering to the sides, creating even better cutting efficiency than their already high level. I can cut perfectly thin, beautiful slices from any fish time after time using this fine knife. The weight and balance are perfect. It is designed for right-handed chefs with a d-shaped handle so if you are a leftie it may not be as comfortable or easy to use.

I believe if you're serious about cooking, you should own great cookware and excellent knives. I finally stepped up and got excellent knives. For those who haven't heard the hype, Shun is one of the most respected knife brands in the world. Check them out on the Web at kershawknives.com.

Great features of the entire line include these cool "D" shaped handles that fit your hand better. Every Shun Classic knife is made in a rightand left-handed version (chefsresource.com for lefties). The handles are made of wood and are specially treated. The steel used for the blades is harder than what you would find in most other knives. The knives are EXTREMELY sharp. One thing to note about Asian knives is that they must be sharpened at a different angle, 16-18 degrees vs. 20 degrees for German knives. The Shun steel takes the guesswork out of getting the angle correct because of the flat edge on one side of the metal disc below the handle.

9-Inch Slicing -This is an impressive knife. It's sleek and sharp like the rest of its siblings. I know the granton edge is supposed to reduce drag, but I'm not certain this is a necessity for a knife I use three times a year. There is a version without the grantons that's a few dollars cheaper.

This is an expensive, but lifetime investment. I encourage you to visit stores and feel the knives in your hand to make sure you are comfortable with them. For more info on Shun, check out Alton Brown's website. For ratings on various brands and types of knives, check out cooksillustrated.coms' equipment ratings.

Shun is probably the best kitchen purchase I've made and the one I'm most proud of.

Want Shun DM0720 Classic Hollow-Ground Slicing Knife, 9-Inch Discount?

I'm a big fan of Shun knives and own several other. You could get away slicing meat with a chef's knife, but the low profile and length on this make it much easier. The metal on these knives are brittle, so you need to take care to avoid hitting the fork. Also be sure to cut on wood or plastic only. If it's your first time with a high-quality knife -these things are sharp, so be warned. Electric knives shred the meat and seem to make more juices fall out, not the case with a manual knife like this. Pick up a smooth honing steel if you don't already have one to keep the edge straight.

Update International KGE-08 Stainless Steel Forged Cook's Knife, 8-1/2-Inch

Update International KGE-08 Stainless Steel Forged Cook's Knife, 8-1/2-InchAs a gift for one of my staff I purchased this knife. He has one at home that was given him by a family member and he mentioned it a few times so I bought one.

It is a heavy knife, but that does enable some smooth cutting and in our American way of knife use effectively bashes through whatever you put in the cutting board. Nice and sharp, but already after just a month or so has dings in the blade. Maybe from mishandling.

The Sharper Image Stainless Steel 15-Piece Set Multi Blender, Hi Speed 300-Watt Personal Countertop

The Sharper Image Stainless Steel 15-Piece Set Multi Blender, Hi Speed 300-Watt Personal Countertop Blender Mixer SystemI bought this because I used to not eat breakfast. Now, it takes me 20 seconds to make a delicious morning smoothie for breakfast. I love that it came with 3 cups. I fill one of the cups with frozen fruit the night before. In the morning, I pour milk, plop in some yogurt, blend, and breakfast is made in 20 seconds. Motor works fine after 1 month. No issues at all.

Nice, clean design all the cups are clear plastic, although you could be thinking that at least one would be stainless. The units emits a an 'electrical motor' smell that may disappear over the next months. Noise level is acceptable but at the louder end of the expected spectrum.

For now I am a little suspicious that the shakes turn out a little less foamy, but I have to try that with different protein powders to be sure.

This blender is awesome! I received this as a gift. I didn't tell anyone and I received a Magic Bullet for Christmas that year as well. Side by side, this things BURIES the MB. Its motor is strong and never gives up on me. I blend shakes EVERY DAY, several times a day. I use ICE, usually about 3 5 cubes for each shake because I like it cold and sometimes frozen fruit as well. I also add Kale to my shakes now and still no problems. The kale pulverizes and the fruit and ice cubes all blend down into a nice smoothie consistency. Sometimes the ice cubes will stick together and make the blades stick too, not able to get a start up but, you just tap a little and off it goes.

I'm telling you, you will love this blender. The only draw back I can think of is, it's a pain to clean the cups because the bars inside the cup hurt my hands but other than that I love it. It's strong and blends all my stuff really fast and efficiently. The MB takes forever (like 3 4X's longer to blend than this one), doesn't give that nice smooth consistency I like, and if I use Ice, it leaves little "ice balls" even after a long time blending and doesn't just break them down all the way. It feels like its going to break and also feels cheap. I gave it to my husband for his "little shakes" (no ice or fruit or anything hard to blend) and it works for him, but if you are like me and really want something to tear up and abuse and use all the time, try this product. Its wonderful! If mine ever does break, i will run right here to Amazon and buy another one! I won't go get anything else. I love it that much.

Winco Santoku Knife, 7-InchI am an avid cook, with over 20 years of culinary experience. I have a full collection of Zwillings Henckels Professional "S" series that I love. These Winware knives are designed to be very close the the Henckels Professional "S" line or Wustof Classics.

Forschner 12" Cimeter Knife

Forschner 12' Cimeter Knife - Black HandleAnd by "barbeque," I don't mean grilling, but low and slow cooking of large, tough pieces of meat, mainly brisket, pork butts or ribs.

I am really surprised that no one has reviewed this knife yet, as popular as it is with the barbequing cognoscenti. I was first made aware of the knife when the webmaster of the Virtual Weber Bullet website, a site dedicated to barbequing, gave one away in the annual giveaway.

This knife is invaluable for breaking down these large cuts of meat and trimming the large caps of fat. It will cut right through cartilage as when breaking down a rack of spare ribs into a St. Louis cut. In fact, I think I cut through some actual bone this evening with it.

I received this as a Christmas gift, and upon opening, my brother commented that it must be too big to be useful. That is not at all true. The length allows long, smooth slicing, and the curved edge really allows you to get down into veins of fats almost surgically.

Although not as ideal as using a proper slicer such as Victorinox 12-Inch Granton Edge Slicing Knife with Fibrox Handle or Wusthof Classic 10-Inch Hollow-Ground Super Slicer, in the absence of a slicer, the Cimeter does a pretty good job separated ribs and slicing brisket.

I love my small collection of Wüsthof Classic knives, (which doesn't seem to have a Cimeter like this) but they seem to have become much more expensive than they even were a few years ago, so I am thinking about adding the much more afforable Victorinox slicer to my knife collection.

Shop around, though. I don't often find items at local stores for lower than the Amazon price, but I did find this knife at 3/4 the Amazon price at the time at a local restaurant supply store. As I write this in May, the Amazon price has come down since Christmas, but is still a couple bucks higher than in the store.

This knife is easy to maintain, as the fibrox (plastic) handle does not require the babying that the wood handles on my Wüsthof Classics require. I suppose it will be fine in the dishwasher (although I always hand wash mine.) The edge has stayed straight despite hacking through bone and cartilage with it. The price makes this knife and outstanding value.

My customer uses this in his grocery to cut ribeye steaks from the rack o ribs with one stroke. Plastic handle is safe from bacteria as required by law. This is a great tool. JIM S. dba KNIVES N STUFF

Wusthof Gourmet 3-Piece Paring Knife Set

Wusthof Gourmet 3-Piece Paring Knife SetI bought this knife set mostly because i needed a paring knife. I also wanted the Wusthof brand since all of my other knives are that brand and have proved to be of superb quality.

The price is what attracted me to this set. I figured it would be better to get more knives for this price rather than one paring knife for about the same price. At first, wasn't convinced that I would use the other two knives with the set until I received them. Now i use the other two more than I use the paring knife. I use the curved knife for boning chicken theighs and for cutting the joints when I'm carving a whole chicken. Its the perfect size. The other utility knife I use for small cutting jobs like cutting a small piece of cheese for a snack or cutting the ends off of an apple, peeling an orange, or even cubing other veggies. These knives are very sharp and don't lose their edge easy. They are also very easy to sharpen. I recommend these to anyone!

All three knives are the Wusthof quality I expected. Three different shapes seemed over-kill at first but I found them extremely useful. A well thought out product.

From the maker of Swiss Army knives, best value for an overall paring/steak knife. Although the handles are not the most aesthetically pleasing as others, they work! Great product!

These knives are well-built and the price is right. However, since we will be using them every day, were a little disappointed to discover that they are apparently not dishwasher-safe.

great for cutting steak. i use it to slice avocados, tomatoes, oranges as well. i've had mines for 3 years now and they still cut very well. i also like how they have a round tip compared to the regular sharp/pointy ends which sometimes poke your hands or fingers if you're not careful.
