10 Cutlery Sets Under INR 1,500 For Daily, Travel, & Party Use

Usage: Daily, occasion-based, and type of meal are the three factors you need to keep in mind while buying a set. 

Place Setting: A lot of the cutlery, in general, is sold in a place setting with most sets opting for either a four-piece or five-piece cutlery set and serving cutlery. A 20-piece setting will have a dinner fork, dinner knife, a tablespoon, and a dessert spoon and it'll be for five people. The rule of thumb is how people you can accommodate at your dining table plus a few extra sets. 

Picking Your Pieces: Forks, knives, spoons, and serveware are all you need. In forks, just stick to the big dinner fork. No need to get a smaller dessert fork. For knives, get a dinner knife instead of a butter knife. A butter knife has a rounded end and you'll find it difficult to cut through a lot of food. For spoons, just stick to a dinner tablespoon and a dessert spoon. In case you are serving soup, then a soup spoon. Your serveware requires a large ladle, a large serving spoon, and a large serving fork. 

Okaay, now that's done, here are our picks. 

We chose this one only because of the cool black option it comes in! It's minimal and super sleek which is suitable for both formal and informal dining options. In the set, you'll get 1 table spoon, 1 table fork, 1 table knife and 1 tea spoon. 

Pro Tip: Wash with soft, non-abrasive sponge and dry immediately. Do not leave in water or it scrub roughly. 

A fuss-free, basic cutlery set for every day use, this one is perfect if you're looking to replace all the mismatched forks and spoons in your home, or if you've just moved into a new home, and have only one plastic spoon to work with. The set is stainless with stripes on the handles for design and grip purpose. Expect to get 6 of each—table spoons, forks, soup and tea spoons. Unfortunately, this one doesn't come with knives. 

Pro Tip: The set is dishwasher safe. 

This golden stainless steel cutlery set comes with five pieces including a dessert spoon and a dessert fork. Since it's stainless steel, it won't rust but since it's got that golden finish, it's best for party use. 

Pro-Tip: Wash this set in water gently and wipe it clean with a kitchen towel to ensure the golden coating stays long. 

We were gifted this set and it's the perfect prop for those Insta-worthy food pictures. But hey, it's functional too and it's best for digging into desserts.   

Pro-Tip: The set isn't built for heavy-duty meals and for digging into meals that require a lot of cutting

We love this coconut wood set for its eco-friendly factor and that it'll last for a long time. This set is perfect when you are hosting people and there's a lot of finger food to munch on. Each set comes with two spoons and two forks, and it just costs INR 359, so go ahead and buy five sets. 

This 18-piece set is perfect for six people (one set consists of a dinner spoon, dessert spoon, and a fork) and is made from stainless steel. It's easy to clean and durable, and the shine will last for a long time. 

Pro-Tip: The set is dishwasher friendly, and is light. So even the kids can use this one, though they're adult sized. 

Price: INR 1,190

Instead of having to use a kitchen knife and make a mess, get yourself this cake knife and server set, and make the occasion grander. The set is made from stainless steel and features a PVD coating for extra shine and protection. 

Pro-Tip: The set is not meant for a dishwasher and only gentle handwash with immediate drying is recommended. 

This handcrafted stainless steel ladle set is ideal for everyday use and when you have guests over. It's sturdy and long-lasting and comes with a food-safe gold finish. 

Pro-Tip: Gentle wash is recommended and do not scrub it with a metal sponge as it can remove the coating.    

Of all the travel cutlery sets available online (and we liked), only this set from IKEA comes with a knife. This stainless steel set comes with an easy to carry pouch which you can easily store in your backpack or picnic bag.
