FLATWARE
The finish of flatware refers to the look of the stainless steel. Use this guide to find the perfect look to express your style:
- Mirror finishes are shiny, polished, and classic.
- Satin finishes have a brushed matte effect that disguises fingerprints and scratches.
- Sand finishes have a shimmery, frosted appearance. These are often paired with mirrored accents to highlight designs or patterns on the handle.
- Rumbled finishes have a unique, distressed look ideal for complementing vintage and industrial aesthetics.
To qualify as stainless steel, the alloy must contain at least 11.5% chromium (also known as chrome). All Cambridge® flatware products use a minimum of 18% chromium. We offer three grades of stainless steel, represented by the percentage of chrome within the alloy. Two of these grades contain nickel. Chrome is important because it makes the steel more resistant to corrosion, while nickel provides a softer, silvery tone.
Our stainless steel grades include:
Our stainless steel grades include:
- 18/10 Stainless – 18% chrome and 10 percent nickel.
- 18/8 Stainless – 18% chrome and 8 percent nickel.
- 18/0 Stainless – 18% chrome and no nickel.
Gauge refers to how thick a given flatware piece is. A dinner fork will have a higher gauge than a salad fork because it is thicker. In general, the higher the gauge of a pattern, the heavier it will be. Thicker is not necessarily better so consider your sense of style, choice of pattern, or how the pattern feels in your hand.
These abbreviations refer to the number of utensils in each flatware set. Cambridge® offers sets in the following sizes:
- 5-piece (5pc) sets include a salad fork, dinner fork, dinner knife, soup spoon, and teaspoon.
- 20-piece (20pc) sets contain four of the following: salad forks, dinner forks, dinner knives, soup spoons, and teaspoons.
- 45-piece (45pc) sets come with eight of the following: salad forks, dinner forks, dinner knives, soup spoons, and teaspoons. These also include a serving spoon, slotted spoon, serving fork, butter knife, and sugar spoon.
BARWARE & DRINKWARE
Our products are made from premium-grade stainless steel and meet all FDA standards. Our tumbler lids are made of ABS plastic, which is clear, durable, and BPA-free.
Yes, Cambridge® double wall tumblers can be used for both hot and cold liquids. They are sweatproof and will not leave condensation on your furniture.
