- Is this a good starter bar set?
- Yes. It covers shaking, straining, measuring and muddling, which is most of what a home bar needs. Buyers who want pro-grade weight should look at uncoated stainless sets instead.
- Does the black finish come off?
- It can. Several owners report the coating wearing or chipping, especially after dishwashing. Hand wash and dry the pieces to make it last.
- What is a Boston shaker?
- It is a two-piece shaker: a metal tin that fits over a glass or second tin. It is the type most bartenders use because it seals fast and is easy to open.
- Can I put it in the dishwasher?
- Hand washing is safer. Dishwasher heat and detergent are hard on the coated finish and can dull it.
- What is included in the 13 pieces?
- The set includes the Boston shaker tins, a Hawthorne strainer, a muddler, a jigger and the other listed bar accessories. Check the piece list before buying if you need a specific tool.
