When choosing stainless steel tongs, which is suitable between the perforated type with holes and the regular type?

Looking at two pairs of tongs that differ only by the presence of holes in the same size, it is difficult to determine which cooking situations each should be purchased for.

hmmm editorial answer

The size and material are the same, but the weight differs due to the presence of holes on the gripping surface, so the choice depends on whether you will use them while draining broth or oil.

How do dinner cutlery and dessert cutlery differ in length and weight?

When choosing cutlery for meals, it can be hard to judge because the size differences between the dinner and dessert lines are not immediately clear at a glance.

hmmm editorial answer

The dinner line is longer in length and heavier in weight than the dessert line, creating a clear difference in the volume and weight you feel when holding them in your hand.
