18/10 stainless steel offers the best corrosion resistance and shine. Thicker gauge prevents bending.
Consider whether you need spatulas, spoons, tongs, and a holder. A set of 8-13 pieces covers most needs.
All stainless steel parts are typically dishwasher safe, but check if handles have exposed rivets that may trap food.
Good balance with a weighted handle makes cooking easier. Avoid flimsy tools that feel cheap.
