This isn’t me with a specific utensil, but for things like soup/cereal bowls, cups, measuring cups, and pott and pans all go in a specific area for lack of space reasons. I hate a singular pot because we have a set that fits together nicely and then there’s the pot that can’t fit with the others but fits perfectly in the smallest pan we have. It’s not a big deal, but it’s the soul reason I hate it (besides when my dad puts away dishes and puts that pot with the others).
I’ve been using a lot of disposable items. I also require it from the neckbeards who live downstairs, because it never gets washed otherwise. I’ve had them throw tantrums about how wasteful it is, but I’ve been buying paper plates and compostable plastic utensils that can be thrown in a compost pile outside.
Mine are a whole category of forks and spoons. I want my forks and spoons to have a completely flat underside with rounded corners. The underside should not be concave because it makes the edges of the fork or spoon too sharp and dig into my finger bones too much. A convex underside puts too much weight onto the center of the surface making it uncomfortable for my middle finger then as well. Oh, and they have to be completely smooth with no texture because I don’t like rough textures rubbing against my fingers while I eat.
Mine are two very different steak knives. One’s got a plastic handle and really fine serration on the blade and it is terrible at cutting steak. The other is just a fucking hacksaw with a wooden handle bolted around the tang and it is a horror to behold. They’re for when we need a knife and don’t want to involve the good cutlery.
It’s a proportions thing. There’s a very specific size and shape of fork that I like, and it shouldn’t have decorations on it. Just stamped sheet steel.
Haha it’s true. I’ve always had hand me downs and I finally got the first time bought a set. It’s pretty glorious. Side note, definitely hammy downs in my head)
For me it’s one of the two sets my parents use. One set is smooth, shiny, and nice to hold. The other has lots of detail which looks neat, but is unenjoyable to hold. So I avoid them whenever I can.
