Cutlery Cutlery refers to the collection of utensils used for eating and serving food, such as knives, forks, spoons, and specialised tools like dessert spoons or steak knives. The term “cutlery cutlery” emphasises the complete set of eating utensils, rather than individual pieces, and is commonly used in Australian interior, homeware, and lifestyle contexts.
Here’s why Australians value cutlery cutlery: it combines functionality with design. A well-chosen set not only makes meals more enjoyable but also enhances table aesthetics — from casual breakfasts to formal dinner parties. High-quality cutlery improves comfort, durability, and presentation in everyday dining.
Australian homes embrace a wide variety of cutlery cutlery styles, often chosen to match tableware, décor, or occasion. Common types include:
Typically include dinner knives, forks, tablespoons, and teaspoons.
Ideal for everyday meals and casual dining.
Designed specifically for meat dishes.
Often feature serrated or sharp knives paired with matching forks for precision cutting.
Smaller forks and spoons for desserts, pastries, or tea-time treats.
Adds elegance to afternoon teas or dinner parties.
Includes large serving spoons, ladles, tongs, and salad forks.
Used for buffet-style serving or family-style meals.
Examples include seafood forks, butter knives, soup spoons, and cheese knives.
Adds versatility to formal dining and entertaining occasions.
