Stainless steel flatware is produced three different ways: 18/10, 18/8 and 18/0. The first number refers to chromium, which is another way of saying 'resistant to rust and stains.' The second number represents the amount of nickel in the flatware''the more nickel, the brighter the sheen.

It takes at least 25 steps of hand-forging or stamping steel to create our knives, forks and spoons for dining and entertaining. The result is substantial construction that's never light or flimsy.
Hand Forged Flatware
Forged flatware is comprised of a continuous piece of metal that's heated to extremely high temperatures, then shaped by hand to create a clean, simple pattern that has a heavier feel.
Stamped Flatware

Stamped flatware refers to a pattern that is 'stamped' onto a continuous piece of metal. The result is flatware with a solid weight that doesn't feel too heavy.
Stainless steel flatware is made for everyday use, and with proper care, will last a lifetime. It is dishwasher-safe and requires minimal care. We recommend using a detergent that isn't citrus-based, as well as not mixing metals in the dishwasher (avoid washing sterling silver with stainless steel, for example). Dry immediately. To remove minor watermarks, buff with a soft, dry cloth.
By minimalist kitchen I mean: you have neither the space nor the money to buy everything your heart desires. You need the essentials, but since you're not getting everything, you're willing to pay a little bit for quality where you think it counts.
Example: maybe you finally realized you don't need and will never really use the full 17 piece knife set, but one of your essentials is a 6" chef's knife, and you're glad you splurged on a _____ brand knife (Shun? Wüsthof? J.A. Henckels) because it might last for life. Or maybe you're glad you saved money and went with the Victorinox, which has been just as good?
I'll take any suggestions, from pots and pans (stainless steel or non-stick?) to cutlery to appliances to small utensils. Thank you for your suggestions.
Let's say you're starting from scratch and outfitting a minimalist kitchen. What do you buy?
