Why Every Home Needs Stainless Steel Dinner Plates

By Olive Pate


Daily home management is easier for the homemaker if she has trusty durable utensils. One of these are the ever popular stainless steel dinner plates, which are widely found in Indian households. India has a good reputation for handmade stainless steel utensils. It is preferred because not only it is presentable and polished, but it is highly durable as well.

In the 1900s, steel is resistant to tarnishing and rust was patented and manufactured to protect and create ironwork that wouldn't corrode and was resilient enough. Fifteen out of the 150 grades of this bluish-grey alloy of iron are used most today. Warfare benefitted the most from this invention during the first few years after its invention. Now, steel is used primarily in architecture, transportation, and in the home.

Given its durability and appearance, stainless steel sets are relatively cheap compared to other materials used for dinnerware. It is worth every penny. In fact, many restaurants have shifted to using them instead of ceramics. Ceramics as a material is heavy and difficult to clean and buss out. Most of all, once dropped, they cannot be used again in most cases.

Some restaurants will choose to use disposable utensils thinking that it is more economical. This is not so. Steel that is resistant to tarnishing and rust, once old, can be sold as metal in junk shops where they are melted and reused. Stainless alloy of iron is more sustainable than paper or Styrofoam utensils.

Utensils that are resistant to tarnishing and rust are available in many local department stores and online sites. Newlyweds can start with a 12-piece set. A small household with children can start with an18-piece set which includes flatware, tumblers, and a pitcher. There are options for sets as big as 100 pieces or more. You may opt to buy them, especially if you love having people over and hosting parties. Some, however, choose not to because they do not have enough shelf space and will have a hard time cleaning up. Steel resistant to tarnishing and rust can be nested on top of each other, however, opening up more shelf space unlike glass.

Homemakers prefer this material most especially because of its resiliency. It is safe around children. If an accident happens, wasted food is just the problem. You can go pick the flatware up like nothing has happened. When buying, look for the 18/10 mark. It means that the material is made up of 18% chrome and 10% nickel. The quality drops as the numbers do.

Chloride is the only household chemical that can damage this bluish-grey alloy of iron that is resistant to tarnishing and rust. This can be found in lemon-scented dishwashing detergents so it is best to avoid them. Other than that, any light detergent can be used to clean these utensils. They are dishwasher safe and clean up in a breeze. There are two things to remember, though, when you put them in the dishwasher. First is not to put them with the silverware and second, do not include them in the hot drying cycle.

Stainless alloy-of-iron flatware is the best choice for the household's daily use. It is easy to clean and safe around children. Most importantly, it is classy and very presentable, which is good for guests and big celebrations.
