I am doing a project on cutlery and I was wondering what are the names of the machines that make cutlery?

Thank you, appreciate it if you can help me out.

Most cutlery is made by either stamping it out of sheet steel with a stamping press or cutting it out with a laser. The edge is formed by grinding with either belt or wheel grinders. The handles are either molded on to the tang directly or if they are two piece handles they are usually riveted on. The better quality and more expensive cutlery is produced by forging which is a process of forming by hammering. Forged cutlery is formed from steel billets using either a drop forge or a power forge. Forged cutlery requires extensive heat treatment to make the steel properly hard and flexible. The edge of the blade is formed by grinding with either belt grinders or wheel grinders. Handles are either molded or riveted on to the tang.

one month ago i bought some cutlery. today i bought exactly the same cutlery, and i found the old one not shiney any more compared with the new one. is there any way to let the old one look shiney again.

Everytime i take my clean cutlery out of the dishwasher, there are always rust spots on them and smear marks. The cutlery is dishwasher safe. Please can someone give me some suggestions to stop this, as it;s driving me mad!! The cutlery is brand new and was quite expensive so i dont understand why this is happening!! Thanks

The probelm is the chlorine and formaldehyde in the dish detergent. This is further compounded by the fact that most grocery store products are based on this type of cleaning with harsh chemicals. Even high grade stainless steel can be eaten away by some of the caustic cleaners that most people use. Jet dry and the like have water softeners in it wich are basically types of salts that help the water to run off which will help, but if you are steam drying or heat drying them, they are still susceptable to getting the spots. You should try switching to a natural enzyme based product like diamond brite. The good news is it’s cheaper than cascade and the like as well. It uses natural enzymes and citrus oils to clean your dishes. It even works on caked on baked on food like baked ziti at our house. I hate scubbing dishes, and this stuff works great. There is a whole line of natural cleaners that make your home safer and work better than chemical products. I’m not a salesperson, I just think that what my wife and I have found is wonderful and so much better for our health too. Let me know if you want more info: melachad@gmail.com LIke I said, I don’t sell anything, but I think everybody should know about it.

I’m wondering if there’s any way to reduce the metal taste that comes from cutlery. Can I wash them a certain way, or what?

It’s usually fine with forks and knives, but using spoons to eat ice cream, yogurt, cereal, etc, makes whatever I’m eating unpleasant because of the metallic taste.

You must be ultra sensitive because I’ve never heard that before. I would choose a really high quality plastic,rubber or wooden cutlery. Another thing to try is switch toothpastes to a "sensitive" tooth paste like Sensadone.

I’m in a play and in one scene my character waves around cutlery. The problem with this is that the forks and knives reflect badly on the lights and creates a blinding effect towards the audience.
My director asked me to wash the cutlery with a bar of soap, (i’m using an organic, olive oil based bar of soap) and told me it would take away the shine.
The trouble with this is that it isn’t working!
Any advice on what i should do?

Silly question, but are you rinsing them off after washing? Try leaving the soap on them

Next option: if you have hard water locally, and are using softened water, try using water that hasn’t been through the softener. It will leave lots of water stone on the cutlery if you just let it drip-dry (yes, I found this out the hard way).

You can try scratching the cutlery with some steel wool, that might reduce the shininess. At the very least you won’t get a beam of light reflecting into the audience.

If nothing else works, just get them dirty enough that they are no longer shiny.

I have recently been completely refurbishing my home. I have managed to sell old furniture and carpets etc in newspapers and online, and most other things have gone for re-cycling. Now; the kitchen! All of my old crockery, casserole dishes etc, I have smashed into small pieces, ready to use as drainage in plantpots in the garden….so, most of the stuff has been disposed of in an eco-friendly way. My problem now is, how do I dispose of old cutlery, particularly things like carving knives, bread knives etc safely?

Hi, you sound really busy and good on you for not just dumping it. Charity shops will be more than happy to take them or a scrap metal dealer, art college, I’ve seem some amazing mobiles made from twisted and bent cutlery

Rust is accumulated near the plastic handle of the cutlery.

Be kind to yourself. Stay well away from pharmacy shelves than if you try to help curb your appetite. Apart from the high costs of appetite suppressant drugs, their dependence on nature and observe the side effects make it a potentially dangerous choice. Given that in most cases their effects are of short duration and its weight quickly rebounds when you stop taking them, not only are expensive and dangerous, but really too useless.

There are many natural methods for controlling your appetite. The following eight have been chosen for being effective, cheap and easy for everyone to implement.

1: Exercise. Contrary to popular opinion, you do not “work up an appetite” through exercise. Exercise is a proven appetite suppressant. It stimulates brain chemicals known as endorphins. These are your body’s natural pain killers that give you a mood boost and reduce your appetite. (The corollary is that people who lack these endorphins due to insufficient exercise tend to boost their mood via “comfort food” instead.)

2: Drink more water, regularly. The human body craves hydration long before it craves food. Modern society and product marketing has ‘educated’ people into confusing thirst with hunger. Drinking water at regular intervals throughout the day will help to keep your appetite in check.

3: Avoid artificial sweeteners. Despite the well publicised fact of artificial sweeteners having no calories, they are the enemy of the dieter. Many studies in both human and animals have proven conclusively that these chemical sweeteners stimulate the appetite. Avoid them like the plague. Particularly do not drink diet sodas. Stick with water.

4: Spice & season your food. A recent study demonstrated that sprinkling common spices and seasonings such as herbs like oregano and others reduces the human appetite. The reasoning appears to be that the blander the food, the more a person tends to eat to feel satisfied. Herbal seasonings have next to no calories and enhance the flavour of your food, leading to earlier satiety.

5: Don’t miss breakfast. Skipping this most important meal of the day not only slows your metabolism, it results in snacking and binge eating later in the day.

6: Avoid sugars and starches. Eat proteins and non-starchy fibers. Other than the obvious calorie implications of sugars, sugars and starches are short-chain carbohydrates that are very rapidly converted into blood glucose, then very rapidly stored in muscle and fat tissue. This leads to rapid spikes and troughs, highs and lows, in your daily blood sugar levels and thus the urge to eat to treat those low points. Protein foods and high fiber non-starchy vegetables are more nutritious and take longer to fully digest – preventing those blood sugar spikes and troughs.

7: Eat slowly. After the first mouthful of food at a meal, it takes about twenty (20) minutes for the satiety signal from your stomach to reach your brain. Make a habit of taking a bite, then put your cutlery while chewing food thoroughly. Do not withdraw the new tool until you have completely chewed and swallowed what is in your mouth. The development of this habit gives your brain time to recognize what you have already consumed the first shower in the mouth too. Eat slowly, which means you feel fuller on less food intake.

8: To develop healthy sleep patterns. The lack of sleep or disrupted sleep patterns of different disrupt hormonal functions in your body, at least two of which lead to loss of appetite control. Moreover, most people tend to compensate for their feeling of a lack of energy caused by lack of sleep by drinking too much or calories. A constant, more than eight hours of sleep per night will help in controlling appetite as hormonal desire during the day.

It is disgusting yes, but I need to clean stainless steel cutlery that has been left dirty in a sink covered in water for weeks on end. I expect there to be lots of bacteria present now and need to know how best to clean the cutlery to prevent potential illnesses.

And would it be better to just throw them away and purchase new? Even if this is the case, how best should they be cleaned? Thank you very much.

Run them through the dish washer. Mine would sterilize crap if I put it in. If you don’t have one, bleach & water should help. Bleach kills the germs and bacteria.

Stainless steel is good material for any type of cookware – pots, pans, bakeware, etc. A large part of its value comes from the fact that it does not corrode, and also stainless steel, unlike cast iron, does not react with acidic or alkaline materials.
