Introduction
For each post I write, there are category keyword tabs at the top of the post. Each of those words is a link to the category, and you can get to that category overview (to see all of the posts in that category) anytime, by clicking on any of those words. I am working on writing summary posts for each category (like this one), so my readers will be able to see all of my posts written for some of the more popular categories on my blog, easily (at a glance). This is my first attempt at this, so feedback is welcome. Please let me know if these summary posts are helpful. Thank you!
And without further ado… my posts discussing silverware (each numbered line below is a link to a post with photos and more information, including – in most posts – XRF test results for the item discussed):

Hi, I’m looking into purchasing some flatware. I’ve had my eye on WMF Burgand Stainless Wood Flatwear. Do you know if these are safe? I did not see them on the list. Thank you!
I’m looking for a complete flatware set. So far, I’m not able to find anything that states lead free. Nothing on Amazon. Hope to find something.
HI Tamara! What about kitchen knives? I know the blade should be stainless, but any concerns about what the handles are made of? Thank you again!
Hello, just found your site, very helpful! I have already purchased many items from your amazon shop. My question is: I have been using vintage stainless steel silverware, stamped stainless steel Japan. Are these also lead free?
Thank you
Ditto on this. I have alot of vintage flatware that is stamped “stainless” or “stainless steel”. I’d love to see more posts about stainless steel cutlery and if any generalizations/trends have been observed
^^^^
Thanks so much for this Tamara!
I’m hoping to buy a very simple set of stainless steel (lead free) forks, knives, & spoons (for adults).
Any brand or product recommendations?
Thanks again!
Hi Tamara,
I have an issue with metallic taste in my mouth when using silverware. I have been using plastic and washing them (environment conscious). Well now I’m paranoid about what’s in that. Is using only white or clear safe? Any suggestions? As far as I can tell this taste started with one of my medications. So I’m stuck with it. Thank you,
Kathy
