What is the best stainless steel flatware – that won rust and butter knives are not serrated?

Stainless steel is a composite of different steels and varies in terms of grades for different uses. The main ingredient is chromium, and nickel has been added to provide a resistance to corrosion. It is generally marketed or sold as 18/10, 18/8, or 18/0. Therefore 18/10 means 18% chromium and 10% nickel. The higher the nickel content, the more protection from corrosion. Prices vary considerably depending on these specs, so don’t be fooled into thinking you are buying the best quality, if the nickel content is 0%. However, some manufacturers will label utensils with a slighter higher than 8% nickel content, such as 8.3% as 18/10, since it doesn’t quite fit in the 18/8 category, and this is allowable even if a little deceiving. Even 18/10 is subject to occasional pitting and corrosion. These can usually be removed with a stainless steel cleanser. As far as the best namebrand or style, that is all personal choice. Go into the store and look at the inventory, prices, and even handle them
