Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Global Decor Stainless-Steel Chopsticks, 4 Pairs
Customer Review: Not Global the Knive Company
Summary: 2 Stars
These are cheap plastic crome plated that have a bad weight. I bought since I thought it was made by the same people that make those great knives that I love. JunkCustomer Review: Not a bad set of steel chopsticks
Summary: 5 Stars
Unlike some reviewers on this site, I find the metal chopsticks easier to hold than wooden ones. I didn't have trouble with the smooth nature of the metal vs noodles either. I find that if I hold the bowl close to my mouth in the traditional Japanese fashion, they work just fine. This is even true of thin pasta noodles like Raman.
Not a bad buy at all.
Customer Review: Not that bad..
Summary: 4 Stars
First of all, they aren't really intended for the novice user, but they are perfect for the long run. The wooden ones WILL rot before you ever get skilled with them, but these stainless steel ones will take a licking and keep on picking.
One thing the description doesn't say, is that they ARE made to be used as chopsticks and they can really function like them.
Maybe on the descriptions from before they said they are slippery and they don't have any grip. I never had any problem with that depending on what I tried to grab. I was able to grab chopped steaks and even some vegetables with these utensils, though I haven't tried noodles yet.
Another thing I need to point out that the description doesn't. These utensils aren't round. The handles are square, as the points are rounded. The tips are blunted so grabbing things becomes awkward until you learn to get "around" the item you want to pick up. If you know how to use chopsticks and pick up things with them, you'll only have a very slight adjustment to make with these.
All in all, for their originality and how they are made, I give them a four and a half out of five.
If you wanted chopsticks to replace fickle and often unwashable wooden ones, these are the kind you want to get, definately.
Customer Review: Not too hard to use
Summary: 4 Stars
I thought it would make the food hard to handle but that's not the case. They are very light and seem to be hollow though they are very well made.Customer Review: OK chopsticks
Summary: 3 Stars
made in China with no indication of metal composition in the labeling, these 'stainless' chopsticks had no discernible flaws and all edges were smooth... although they did not taper to as fine a point as i would prefer or have graduated ringed tips, these implements should serve well for much longer than bamboo or lacquered chopsticks...
after various attempts to use these with noodle soups, my recommendation is to NOT purchase these; instead, get ones with graduated, ringed tips (i found a set locally for less than the items here) - they will work *much* better than smooth-tipped sticks
update: a quick fix is to use your Dremel with a blunted cutting wheel to put in your own graduated rings - took me about two minutes to do two pairs - all you need is a steady hand and a gentle pressure - now the sticks work just fine for slippery foods - problem solved
