I explicitly purchased identical cutlery and gave away all my old mismatched cutlery.

[–] Tenthrow@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I tried to buy another identical set of cutlery because we needed more and the two version while looking identical on the package and being from the same maker are dramatically different in reality and it makes me crazy.

[–] Thorry84@feddit.nl 6 points 10 months ago

Yes I did the same, bought a whole set of a big brand so I could easily get replacements and additions if needed. Some time later I decided I needed more spoons so I bought another set of 10 spoons of the exact same brand and set name. Turns out the spoons are slightly different in the handle, bugs the hell out of me.

Yes, one of my most adult-feeling purchases was a full cutlery set for 12, and basically a cabinet full of different types of plates and bowls, all in sets for 8 ppl, from the same design series. I love this stuff way more than I ever imagined.

How many times did you use it though?

[–] youRFate@feddit.de 3 points 10 months ago

Quite a lot by now. I cook for 3-5 friends semi regularly.

I also only use rounded handles. For some reason flat ones drive my crazy! 😅

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

I’m the exact opposite. Maybe because my rounded ones are god damn heavy. Can’t use them with a plastic bowl because it’ll tip it over.

[–] Gladaed@feddit.de 1 points 10 months ago

This is the way. Same for socks and dishes.
