Cutlery
Cutlery refers to the utensils that are used for eating, serving, and preparing food. Typically made of metal, cutlery is a common household item and is found in many kitchens and dining rooms around the world.
The main pieces of cutlery include knives, forks, and spoons. Knives are sharp-edged tools that are used for cutting food into smaller pieces, such as vegetables, meat, or bread. Forks are pronged tools that are used to spear food and bring it to the mouth, and spoons are rounded utensils that are used for scooping and stirring food. There are also specialized types of cutlery for specific purposes, such as steak knives, butter knives, fish knives, soup spoons, and dessert spoons. cutlery sets may include serving spoons, ladles, and other utensils for serving food.
Cutlery can be made from a variety of materials, including stainless steel, silver, and plastic. Some high-end cutlery may be decorated with intricate designs or engravings, while simpler sets may be more functional and utilitarian in design.
