text: Beautiful flatware but be extra diligent about cleaning off dairy residue. Wash immediately after using to make sure it doesn't leave a stain/scratch. Had the hardest time getting sour cream and cheese off of these. I have to handwash and then put them in the dishwasher if any dairy leaves a stain. I really wanted to give 5 stars but they have to be scrubbed well to get stains that my previous Oneida set would have no problems of just being rinsed and put in dishwasher.
