ʻO ka pasta kūpono, ka palupalu o ka pai i hoʻoheheʻe ʻia i loko o kou waha, ke kani ʻoluʻolu o ka berena sourdough e ʻoki ʻia ana—ʻo ia nā manawa e like me kēia e hōʻike maoli ana i ka waiwai o kahi set cutlery i hana maikaʻi ʻia. Mai ke kaumaha ma kou lima a hiki i ke kūlou o ka lima, ʻoi aku ia ma mua o kahi mea hana no ka hoʻoili ʻana i ka meaʻai mai ka pā a i ka waha (ʻoiai he mea nui ia); hoʻokiʻekiʻe ia i kāu ʻike ʻaina. Ma hope o nā mea a pau, aia ke kumu e hiki ai i kahi set cutlery i hana maikaʻi ʻia ke lilo i hoʻoilina ʻohana, i hoʻoili ʻia mai kēlā hanauna a i kēia hanauna.
ʻO ka ʻimi ʻana i nā kīʻaha ʻaina hou ma ka pūnaewele hiki ke hōʻike i ka nui o nā kaila like ʻole i nele i ke ʻano kumu a me ke ʻano pilikino. Akā inā ʻoe e ʻimi nei i nā kīʻaha ʻaina kūikawā maoli e hoʻohui i ka pono a me ka nani, hiki iā mākou ke kōkua. Inā makemake ʻoe i kahi kaila medieval maʻalahi a i ʻole e ʻimi nei i kahi mea kahiko mau loa, he mau mea hoʻohui kūpono kēia mau seti kīʻaha ʻaina i kāu hōʻiliʻili.
Aia maoli nō ia i kou nohona. Hoʻokipa pinepine ʻoe a makemake i kahi set kīʻaha ʻaina piha, kūlike, a paʻa? Makemake ʻoe i nā kīʻaha e maʻalahi ke hoʻohana, hiki ke holoi ʻia i ka mīkini, a paʻa no ka ʻai ʻana i kēlā me kēia lā me nā keiki? A i ʻole makemake ʻoe e hana i kahi mea hoʻonani maka ma ka papaʻaina a koho i nā kīʻaha e ʻoi aku ka hoʻolālā ma mua o kahi ʻāpana lawelawe wale nō?
ʻAʻohe hoʻokahi set ʻokiʻoki kūpono, ʻo ka mea wale nō e kūpono loa i kou nohona. No laila, ʻo ka hana mua, ʻo ia ke hoʻoholo ʻana pehea ʻoe e hoʻohana ai; e kōkua kēia iā ʻoe e loaʻa nā ʻokiʻoki āu e pono ai.
I ke kūʻai ʻana i nā mea kuke, he mea nui e hoʻolohe i kekahi mau hōʻailona maikaʻi e hoʻoholo ai i kona kūpaʻa. Inā makemake ʻoe i kahi hoʻopukapuka kālā kūpono e mau loa ana, e pale i nā mea kuke i hana ʻia mai ke kila kila haʻahaʻa (ma lalo o 18/8 a i ʻole 18/10). Hōʻike kēia mau lakio i ka nui o ka chromium a me ka nickel; ʻo ka haʻahaʻa o ke kumukūʻai, ʻo ka maʻalahi o ka nalowale ʻana o ka ʻālohilohi, ka ʻūlū, a me ka popo o nā mea kuke. A ʻaʻole ia he mea maikaʻi!
Pono hoʻi ʻoe e pale i ke koho ʻana i nā ipu kuke māmā loa. ʻOiai ke nānā aku nei kahi hoʻolālā nani i ka nani, ʻo ka māmā pinepine ke ʻano o ka hana ʻino a me ka lōʻihi haʻahaʻa, e ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ka ipu kuke e pelu, ʻōpala, a nalowale paha kona ʻālohilohi i ka wā mua.
He huaʻōlelo ākea ka ʻōlelo "flatware" e pili ana i nā mea lawelawe āpau, me nā ʻō, nā pahi, a me nā puna, me ka nānā ʻole i ka mea i hana ʻia ai. Hiki iā lākou ke kila kila, ke gula-uhi ʻia, me nā lima resin, ka lāʻau, a pēlā aku—ʻaʻohe palena o nā mea hiki.
Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, ma ka ʻōlelo pololei, ʻo nā kīʻaha kālā e pili ana i nā kīʻaha i hana ʻia me ke kālā maoli, me ke kālā sterling a i ʻole ke kālā i uhi ʻia i ke kālā. I ka hala ʻana o ka manawa, hoʻohana pinepine ka poʻe i nā huaʻōlelo "silverware" a me "tableware" e pili ana i nā kīʻaha āpau, akā ma ke ʻano maʻemaʻe loa, aia ka ʻokoʻa ma ka mea hana, ʻaʻole ma ke ʻano.
ʻO nā mea hana a me ke ʻano o ka hana lima e pili ana i nā mea hana. Pehea kona manaʻo? Pehea kona kūpaʻa? ʻO ke kūlana gula no nā mea ʻoki kila kila he 18/10 a i ʻole 18/8. Hōʻike kēia mau helu i ka pakeneka o ka chromium a me ka nickel, ka mea e pale ai i ka popo a hāʻawi i ka metala i kona ʻōlinolino maʻamau.
Eia kekahi, pili ka maikaʻi o nā ipu kuke i kona kaumaha, ke kaulike, a me ka hana lima. Pono nā ipu kuke kiʻekiʻe e paʻa i ka lima a he ʻili laumania a like me ka ʻole o nā humuhumu ʻike ʻia a i ʻole ka ʻino. Hōʻike nā mea hana kaulana i ke kiʻekiʻe o kā lākou hana me nā koi kūpaʻa a i ʻole nā palapala hōʻoia; ʻo ke kūpono, pono e mālama kahi set ipu kuke i kona ʻālohilohi ma hope o ka hoʻohana mau ʻana i ka mea holoi kīʻaha.
I ke kūʻai ʻana i nā mea kālā, ʻo nā helu ma ka wehewehe huahana—no ka laʻana, 18/0, 18/8, a me 18/10—e hōʻike ana i ka nui o ka chromium a me ka nickel o ka metala. ʻO ka helu mua (18) e hōʻike ana i ka pakeneka o ka chromium, ka mea e hāʻawi ai i ke kila i kona kūpaʻa i ka pala a me ka ikaika.
Hōʻike ka helu ʻelua i ka pakeneka o ka nickel. Hoʻonui ka nickel i ka ʻālohilohi a hoʻomaikaʻi i ke kūpaʻa ʻana i ka ʻaʻahu. No laila, ʻo 18/10 ka mea i loaʻa ka nickel kiʻekiʻe loa, e ʻoi aku ka paʻa a hāʻawi iā ia i ka ʻālohilohi ʻoi loa; ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia ke ʻano kiʻekiʻe loa. ʻOi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka nickel o 18/8 akā hāʻawi mau i ke kūpaʻa ʻana i ka ʻaʻahu a me kahi hoʻopau nani. ʻAʻohe nickel o 18/0 a ua manaʻo ʻia he maʻalahi i ka waihoʻoluʻu a he haʻahaʻa ka ʻālohilohi, akā kūpono ia no ka poʻe me nā maʻi nickel a i ʻole ma kahi kālā liʻiliʻi.
