Customer Reviews of Mikasa Zena 5-Piece Stainless-Steel Flatware Place Setting, Service for 1
Customer Rating:  Summary: beautiful and great quality Comment: I have always had standard flatware for my everyday use, nothing too expensive but not the cheapy stuff either. I had no idea what I was missing until I purchased this. This set is not only unusual and attractive but it is really top quality which is evident in the appearance and the heft/feel. It has a beautiful shine and each piece is sturdy and heavy with good balance which you notice immediately when you pick them up. The odd shape has no effect on the performance, the fork stabs well, the knife cuts well, and actually, the squared off spoons work as well if not better than the standard shaped spoon. I am so pleased that I took the plunge and replaced my old silverware with this! One word of warning, I purchased the "chest" with the wooden tray and both sets came with a reasonably busted up tray. I have since glued it back in place (all the dividers were out of place and loose) but this is not a great quality item and isn't worth paying any extra for if you are thinking it is a bonus to receive this. If you can do better not buying the flatware without the tray, do so and then go buy a good tray somewhere if you still need one. More Reviews Set your table with modern flair! The polished and stream-lined contours of this pattern are all about clean design with no frills or fuss. 
Choosing Appliance -> Whip / Whisk Many still consider a whip as a "gourmet" piece of kitchen equipment. Nothing could be further from the truth. It is as essential as a kitchen stove and should be in everyone's kitchen. Nothing works better for mixing a multitude of different preparations or for making sauces or gravy. Buy a solid stainless steel whip with moderately stiff wires. Very thin wires are for mixing delicate things like egg whites or whipped cream. Very thick, solid wires are for mixing stiff dough. Choosing Appliance -> Built-in Ovens Keen cooks may want to take advantage of multi-function ovens - usually aimed at the top end of the market. As well as traditional cooking, fan or fan-assisted cooking and grilling, these ovens offer up to nine further functions. These include: Top element only (browning), bottom element (final cooking of pastry dishes or pizzas), fan and bottom element (delicate cooking), fan only (thawing).

Useful info -> Dishwashers Energy efficiency is of paramount importance, not only to save money on electricity bills but also to help reduce power station emissions that contribute to global warming. Look for brands with low energy consumption (energy efficiency ratings will be displayed in the showroom). Levels are now as low as 1.3kW/hr on some slimline models largely because of reduced water consumption. A delay timer can help take advantage of cheap overnight electricity. |
