I'm looking for a stainless steel kitchen utensil set that’s built solid—none of that thin, flimsy stuff. I want handles and stems that are at least half an inch thick, all the way through. When I’m stirring soup, the utensil shouldn’t flex or bend backward. And if I have to bend it back into shape, I don’t want it to end up with a weak spot like an overused paper clip. Is that really too much to ask?

Yes. By government mandate everything sold these days must be flimsy as hell.

Then get a 1/2" thick plate of stainless steel and start cutting them out.

Can I go to a machine shop to do this? I don't do a lot of work with my hands I'm scared of big machinery

They could mill them out of solid pieces for sure. It’s going to be expensive tho

> Is that really too much to ask?
Yes because it is retarded. Cooks don’t use their spoons as a pry bar, and most don’t flip entire llamas on a hot plate. The biggest spoon lifts maybe 1lbs when, so no, almost no one makes this.

Soup stirring utensils are an exception as restaurants make 10 gallons of soup sometimes, or you search for industrial spoons. Hand whisks are always flimsy because for big volumes people use an electric whisk

Go to a kitchen supply store.

Man, I got some measuring cups for the wife some years ago and I wish I could remember, they were either like food network branded or Kitchenaid and they were real stainless 2x the thickness of anything else I have seen at walmart. They may have been from a mall store like how Kohl’s and JC Penny have kitchen stuff. Not cheap but exactly the type of thing you want.

>>2932194
old revere ware brand stainless utensils are pretty solid too

>>2932237
If you'd gotten her a scale instead she wouldn't need measuring cups; less to wash, happier with her man.

I got gifted a set of AllClad utensils. They are rock solid and stainless steel but their shapes are odd and they are made in China. I don't like them very much.

I have an old collection of Ecko/Flint tools that I assembled from garage sales and thrift stores over the years. The kind with full tang black plastic handles. They do have some flex in them but they were dirt cheap so I was able to buy a pile of them with plenty of spares. It is boss to have 4 different kinds of flippers and a dozen serving spoons/forks, etc. Why they sell sets with only one serving spoon in them I'll never know.

whats that cheap steel that has a cheap shine to it
200 series? they say 304 is common buts kinda dull and nice

>>2932313
Hank you ungrateful bastard, I should have never given those to you, given them back to me if you didn't liked them.

>Government mandate
The irony, a LACK of government regulation on rampant profiteering is the reason why this is the case. The government has nothing to do with a corporation cost cutting it's production line to sell you a cheaper version of the same product at the same premium price. That's entirely because those companies are allowed to do that, and will never stop unless otherwise incentivized.

>I don't know anything about literally anything.
A spoon, used to pick at frozen ice cream, has more than 10 pounds of force exerted into it. Spoons used to pry open crab legs and lobster shells have more than 3 pounds of force exerted on them. Stirring spoons have generally between 1-3 pounds exerted on the thinnest point of the spoon, even under home cooking situations. If you're stirring a pot of stew, the viscosity of that liquid will prevent you from stirring it like water, increasing the total shear force on both the liquid, and the spoon.
>10 gallons of soup
I lost thanks.
>Hand whisks are always flimsy because people use an electric whisk for big volumes.
Dude holy fucking shit. Ask your mom if you can cook with her sometimes so you have a reference point for your opinions.
I've NEVER had a flimsy hand whisk. It's the only thing that is so simple, and yet shaped such that it cannot be made of one part, that it's entirely possible to just look at it through the packaging and know if it will be any good. I have some that are JUST wire, carefully wrapped into the shape of a hand whisk. Works great! I have Danish dough whips, or whisks, they are somewhat whisk, somewhat dough-folding tool. Works fantastic, long wooden handle can be used as a rolling pin. Neither of these are flimsy, because whisks are generally not flimsy. You can't just press a whisk out of a piece of sheet steel like you can a spoon, fork, or knife. You have to intentionally design it to be flimsy, plastic parts, hollow handles, etc.
If you don't notice those things picking something up, you lack experience.

For that matter, spoons are the least important part of what OP's problem is. EVERY utensil that can be pressed from a sheet, is. Spatula, which regularly lifts .24-2 lbs, and is pressed into and scraped against surfaces with more than 4 lbs, is also sheet steel, and bends freely. Tongs, their tips will bend.

>Asshole
You forgot the comma, "Take your meds, asshole."
Otherwise you're telling a physical asshole to take meds, like you're Eric Cartman telling off his cat.

I do know it was a joke, however, comedy is informed by personal experiences, you don't make a joke like that unless there's some underlying personal belief.
That's why you took personal offense to what I said.

That was my intention.
