One thing for sure....the maid couldn't care less....they do anything according to what and how they like it...no matter how many times you told her. They don't care...anything broken...all they will say is..." sorry madam.....broken la...." Since I got to use the utensils...I will tend to buy them back...so I now..keep some of the utensils -2 sets...one set is known as "Sunday Utensils" which is only for me...and me only....she can scratch her head out for those ones she uses everyday.
