Stainless steel is completely dishwasher-safe and easy to maintain. Follow these few simple hints to ensure that your fine stainless steel flatware lasts for many years: Wash flatware prior to using for the first time. Avoid soaking stainless flatware in water for a prolonged period of time or overnight Before placing in washer, rinse food from flatware When loading your dishwasher, make sure knife blades do not come into contact with other utensils. This will prevent blades from nicking or scratching other pieces. Use a mild non-chloride detergent. Never pour detergent directly onto flatware. In hard water areas, use a water-softening agent to avoid spotting or pitting. Always remove stainless flatware from the dishwasher shortly after the drying cycle is complete. This decreases the amount of time your flatware is exposed to a very moist and hot environment and allows it to dry in cool drier air. Should detergent film build up on your flatware, wash (either by hand or in a dishwasher) and hand-dry to remove film. If stubborn stains or rust should occur, use a non-abrasive stainless or metal polish paste or cream. Avoid grainy cleaners. Limit exposure to water that has a high mineral content, high chloride dishwashing detergent and foods that contain chloride (table salt, mustard, mayonnaise and eggs) as pitting or spotting may occur.

Price obtained by using lower cost stainless steel, with less pitting and corrision resistance,

This review is from: Pfaltzgraff Satin Montclaire 65-Piece Stainless-Steel Flatware Set with Wood Storage Caddy, Service for 12 (Kitchen)
This posting provides some core information about stainless steel flatware. I hope it may help potential buyers make a more informed purchase decision, and possibly avoid some disappointment. If you're already familiar with the various grades of stainless steel, you may want to stop here or just skim this before going on to other postings; otherwise, read on.The most common specification for stainless steel flatware is 18/10. The 18 refers to the chromium content and the 10 to the nickel content. Here, however, Pfaltzgraff has chosen to use 18/0 stainless steel to keep costs down. However, 18/0 stainless steel has 0% nickel content, and consequently is much less resistant to pitting and corrosion. 18/0 stainless steel is known as ferritic steel as it, like pure iron, is magnetically attracted (a quick test for less expensive stainless). This is opposed to 18/10, which is called austenitic stainless steel and is not, or only weakly, magnetically attracted. For practical purposes chromium/nickel, 18/10 and 18/8, steels are essentially identical. Because of its superior properties, over 2/3rds of all stainless steel produced is austenitic. The greater the nickel composition the better the protection against pitting and corrosion, but the higher the cost. This is one of the reasons prices for flatware vary so significantly. Also note that 18/0 flatware is often finished to a lower standard than higher nickel content stainless steel to further reduce manufacturing costs. Even on a quite cursory examination, my 18/0 flatware does not look quite as good as my higher quality stainless steel flatware. However, unless you need that extra increment of appearance obtained with higher quality 18/10 stainless, you may want to consider this set. Bottom-line: There is a trade-off here between appearance and corrosion-resistance, and the lower cost per piece for 18/0.

This review is from: Pfaltzgraff Satin Montclaire 65-Piece Stainless-Steel Flatware Set with Wood Storage Caddy, Service for 12 (Kitchen)
I purchased this set at the Overstock site awhile ago for $25 and it was worth about that. While the utensils are sturdy they certainly did not live up to their prestigious name (Pfaltzgraff, for goodness sake). As several reviewers there state, I found most of the handles pitted, scratched, even sharp in some places. So sharp a spoon nicked the corner of my mouth while eating soup! This "Satin" finish they have looks very cheap in person, and the backs of each piece were rough and bumpy in places. It's a good thing the whole mess came with a storage box, because that's where it is...the bottom of my closet.

Twice what I paid!,
This review is from: Pfaltzgraff Satin Montclaire 65-Piece Stainless-Steel Flatware Set with Wood Storage Caddy, Service for 12 (Kitchen)
The lowest sale price at Amazon is over twice what I paid. I got these for my daughter moving into an apt. I thought they would be AOK and they were 23.00 on clearence. My wife said they were a good brand and "you can't beat the price!" Well, as usual, I learn too slowly. These are crappy utensils. I think the cheap target brand would have been better than these. The back sides are actually bumpy. And Don't put them in a dishwasher unless you want them to pit and then rust/corrode... whatever they are doing. Save your money. Amazon should be ashamed, the company who makes this should be ashamed.
