Reddit mentions: The best dinner forks

Some forks would definitely improve my life. We have like 8 of them in the house between 3 people, and having to do dishes every day then still running out of forks gets quite old.

I got a set at Costco a while back. In the restaurant supply area. They are twice as thick as the set we've been using for over a decade. They are sturdy, absolutely no bending them. I think it was $10 for a 36 pack of forks, so cheap too. Spoons or knives were same price, something like $30 for 36 of each.

Definitely recommend to anyone looking for sturdy silverware. Tramotina is the brand. Looks like you can also get them on Amazon

> When did stainless steel become a "premium" material?

Yeah, it's hilarious.

Here's a dozen stainless steel (18/10) forks for $23... that's more stainless steel than in any watch.

Believe it or not, Amazon can be a good place to buy a fork.

$50?! I don't think so. The last time I bought granny forks (and I can't remember where, dammit) was about 10 years ago and they were $10-12 apiece, 8" long, with riveted wooden handles. Amazon has something similar to mine for $16.50. (The price has undoubtedly gone up.) The Cutco thing is for holding down a roast or a chicken while you slice it -- a different critter entirely.

Check out these crappers.

You could just find some with 1 star rating.

For just $7 you could have too many forks!

what do you expect when you're buying forks for as low as 45 cents each

I can see a few niche situations for getting them.

• If you don't own any cutlery.
  
• If you are prone to, or need to be able to, lose your cutlery and don't want to litter metal spoons everywhere.
  
  Other then that, there's no reason to buy these silly things. Andd I'm not really sure about the first one. How long will a bamboo spoon last vs a decent stainless steel one? I own spoons my grandmother had since at least when my mother was a kid... Frankly, I'm thinking making sure you get something sturdy is more important then it being biodegradable. Get pieces that are one piece of solid metal and it should last you decades. Just avoid crap with wood or plastic handles. Or any handle that is a separate material really.

My tool of choice, and I'd kill them with my terrible cooking!
