Which is better - stainless steel or silver plated cutlery?
Oneida International : Oneida InternationalSilver plated cutlery is more of a luxury item, and needs a little more care than stainless steel, as it will need polishing every so often. However, silver plated cutlery is a beautiful white colour, and really does make a tabletop look and feel special. Silver plated cutlery also looks better and better the older it gets. Because silver is a soft metal, it will get many tiny scuffs and scratches on the surface. These reflect the light with a very white shine.
Related QuestionsHow often should I polish my Silver Plated Cutlery?
Oneida International : Oneida InternationalYou should only polish silver plated cutlery when it is tarnished. You do not need to polish regularly if no tarnishing can be seen. You will also notice that some areas of your cutlery tarnish much faster than the rest of the piece. The ends of fork prongs, and spoon bowls always seem to tarnish first, and this is because these areas are in direct contact with food. Sulphides are present in foods, and this speeds up the tarnishing process in these specific areas.

Take care not to let any silver polish get onto the knife blades, as knife blades are always made from steel, and silver polish can damage the surface of steel.

Related QuestionsWhy not just stainless steel hooks? Why do I need gold plated stainless steel hooks?
Emperor TackleStainless steel by itself is extremely rust and corrosion resistant. In nature, when stainless steel is exposed to oxygen, it forms a natural passive film coating that protects it from rust and corrosion. However, when stainless steel is placed in salt water, the chlorides in the salt water attack this passive film coating, exposing the stainless steel to rust and corrosion. Gold plating the stainless steel protects it from these corrosive and rust-producing chlorides.

Related QuestionsStainless SteelStainless steels are a family of steels that are resistant to corrosion (rusting) and elevated temperature. They must contain at least 10.5 % chromium. The chromium reacts with the oxygen in the air to form an invisible, protective chrome-oxide surface layer. This layer helps to prevent “staining” (rusting) of the surface. This does not mean that stainless steel will never rust. There are many different stainless steels with unique chemical compositions.Related Questions
