Customer Reviews of Mikasa Zena 40-Piece Stainless-Steel Flatware Set with Wooden Tray, Service for 8
Customer Rating:  Summary: The best flatwear set! Comment: This set is amazing! It not only looks and feels great, but it's a set you can use for everyday use and for fancy dinners. The tray is nice too, very sturdy and looks and feels just as great as the flatware set. my husband is picky about his flatware. He likes them to be heavy and to not only be sturdy but also to feel just as sturdy. this set is great because it's just perfect in weight and size and there's nothing i don't like about it. Customer Rating: Summary: Great flatware for the value Comment: I bought this exact same 40-piece flatware set almost 6 years ago and it has maintained its beauty. The flatware is very strong and durable. I love it so much I have returned to buy more since we have lost some of the pieces over the years. Customer Rating:  Summary: Just purchased in Jan 2007 Comment: I found the other reviews helpful about the quality. I hope I feel the same after I use it for awhile! I just purchased my set at Bed, Bath & Beyond this week. Original price was $129 and I got the set, with drawer, on their clearance for $62.99....that is the lowest price I have found anywhere. I have always been pleased with other Mikasa purchases I have made....always the quality met or exceeded the price I paid. I have not found a price any lower on line either. Customer Rating: Summary: Good, Clean & Solid Set Comment: After years of using the remnants of at least half a dozen other sets I've inherited from family, friends and former roommates... I broke down and decided to seek out a nice set of flatware to call "my own". I had always known Mikasa for their crystal and glassware, but never for flatware. That has changed. I find the weight of the set very nice (solid) and the feel of each piece well-balanced. This set looks elegant and goes quite well with the decor I chose for my dining area, too. Not so elegant that everyday use will be out of the question, though. Though not really all too important, the wooden tray accompanying the set will come in handy. Already had a flatware tray but it never hurts to have a spare one waiting in the wings. The reviews I read previously warned of spots from dishwashers, etc. Thus far I have not had any problems with that. No more so than with any other item I have ever placed in the dishwasher. I would advise people to test their water for hardness. Perhaps they have excess calcium, lime, metals, etc. in their water and should consider installing a softener? Word of caution: Do take care NOT to use abrasive surfaces on the set as they WILL scratch easily. Since the pieces contain no wood, prolonged soaking in hot, soapy water ought to loosen up any stubborn food particles enough that you may remove them with a simple dish cloth or sponge. Overall, I love the set and will seek out another in the future when the number of people in my household expands! Customer Rating: Summary: Beautiful Style, Wonderful Quality! Comment: I ordered two of these sets, as well as the hostess set. I wanted to be sure to have enough in case they are discontinued. I went out on a limb here, as I'd only seen them in the pictures, but decided that at this great price it was worth the risk. I was very impressed! Each piece is quality stainless steel, well balanced, and the contemporary styling is exactly what I was looking for. Even the box is attractive, and fits well in my drawer. As a professional chef, I do a lot of at-home entertaining, and my standards are probably higher than most. I feel this cutlery will remain durable and in excellent condition for many years to come. I highly recommend. More Reviews With a contemporary sensibility, the Zena stainless steel flatware pattern from Mikasa blends practicality with beauty. Serenely unadorned, each utensil features a shiny mirror finish, slender, rounded handles, square-shaped bowls, and a minimalist feel that coordinates with a wide-range of tableware settings. Accompanied by a sturdily constructed, solid hardwood flatware tray with five separate compartments, this 40-piece flatware set elegantly complements a variety of dining occasions. This 40-piece flatware set includes eight 8-1/2-inch dinner knives, eight 7-3/4-inch dinner forks, eight 7-3/4-inch dinner spoons, eight 7-inch salad forks, and eight 5-1/2-inch teaspoons. Crafted from 18/8 stainless steel, the 18 percent chromium aids in corrosion resistance and increases durability, while the 8 percent nickel ensures luster and shine. All Mikasa flatware is dishwasher-safe. The flatware tray measures 12 inches wide, 14 inches long, and 2 inches high, and ensures that utensils remain organized and tidy. --Lea Werbel What's in the Box 
Choosing Appliance -> Hobs If you enjoy eastern cuisine, you can buy a speciality hob with a wok burner. Similarly if you are a BBQ fan, choose a BBQ grill. If you are left handed, go for front rather than right hand side controls as this eliminates the risk of reaching across the heat. If you cook for a large family, more than four rings may be useful, and if you have young children it may be worth considering paying a little extra for a hob guard or in the case of gas, choosing an automatic re-ignition or cut off device should the flame blow out. Choosing Appliance -> Strainers We recommend 2 strainers for every kitchen. The first is a solid stainless steel colander (one big enough to wash a lot of lettuce at once). The second strainer is a fine mesh conical strainer (called a chinois) which is a must for any serious sauce or stock making. A chinois is an expensive purchase, but with care it will last many years. Mikasa Zena 40-Piece Stainless-Steel Flatware Set with Wooden Tray, Service for 8
Useful info -> Sinks The choice of sink materials is huge. Stainless steel is self-healing, hygienic and co-ordinates with the latest trend in appliances. Fireclay or ceramic sinks are solid and traditional with the latter being available in a core range of colours such as blue and green as well as white. |
