Bon Appétit reviewed eight popular silverware sets, testing them for at least a few weeks in a home setting. The review focused on functionality, feel, and how the sets elevate a tablescape. Made In was named the overall favorite, praised for its timeless look, balance, durability, and dishwasher-safe qualities. Oneida Colonial Boston was highlighted as the best budget option, while Fortessa Jaxson stood out as the best modern set. A bistro-style set with French-made knives was also newly recommended.
The reviewer, who has been using Made In’s silverware set as everyday flatware since 2022, refers to it as “my forever flatware.” The Made In set is 18/10 stainless steel and includes a dinner fork, salad fork, tablespoon, dessert/teaspoon, and dinner knife per place setting. A 20-piece set, containing four 5-piece place settings, costs just under $200. The reviewer noted the price has remained stable, unlike many other culinary items. The flatware is manufactured in Italy and is described as casual enough for everyday use but nice enough for special occasions. It is curvy, hefty but not too heavy, and lacks ornate embellishments. The pieces are larger than those of similar brands, with a noticeable size difference between teaspoons and tablespoons, and salad forks and dinner forks.
