Some people are just born expert hosts. They’ve got a special gene that the rest of us don’t. We have to work at it. They live for planning a menu, procuring bottles of wine that match the food and decorating the house around a specific theme. These hosts love a good theme. Whether you’re an aspiring host or a seasoned pro, you should have the best 18/10 stainless steel flatware set in your kitchen drawer. That silverware that’s been with you since college probably isn’t going to cut it—literally. You might also not have enough silverware for the size of the dinner parties you want to have. 

The sets we selected can serve a minimum of four people and a maximum of 12. The polished gleam coming from the flatware will add an elegance to your meal. Stainless steel is durable and usually sits perfectly in your hand, at an even balance, so you can cut through almost anything while you’re eating. From salad forks to teaspoons, some of the rarer utensils, so you can put together a three- or four-course extravaganza. We can’t help if your SO burnt dinner, though. A knife can’t cut through everything.
