ABSTRACT:
Flatware that can be quickly and easily sorted when placed in a liquid solution, the flatware includes spoons, forks and knives. The spoons have a generally uniform buoyancy so as to float at a first level in the liquid solution, the forks have a generally uniform buoyancy so as to float at a second level in the liquid solution, and the knives have a generally uniform buoyancy so as to float at a third level in the liquid solution. The flatware floats at different levels in the liquid solution which provides the separation of the spoons, forks and knives in the liquid solution and enables the retrieval of the separated flatware in a sorted fashion.
