The correct way to use knives and forks:

When using knives and forks, you should hold the knife in your right hand and the fork in your left hand. Cut the food into small pieces and then put it into your mouth with the knife and fork.

When eating, the plate is in the middle, so the knife and spoon are placed on the right side of the plate, and the fork is placed on the left.

When placing knives and forks on the table, there should generally be no more than three pairs at most. For set meals of more than three courses, new knives and forks must be placed after the dishes are served.

Knives and forks are used in order from the outside to the inside.

When eating, the left and right hands usually cooperate with each other, that is, a knife and a fork are used in pairs.

Knives and forks have different specifications, and their sizes are also different according to different uses:

When eating meat, regardless of whether you want to use a knife to cut it, you must use a large knife .

Use a medium knife when eating salads, desserts, or hors d'oeuvres.

The fork or spoon generally varies with the size of the knife. When drinking soup, use a large spoon, and when drinking coffee and eating ice cream, use a small spoon.

Do not pierce food into the mouth with a fork, but shovel the food into the mouth.

If you don’t need a knife to eat a certain dish, you can also hold a fork in your right hand, such as pasta. If there are no large pieces of meat to cut, and only vegetables and non-staple food that do not need to be cut, it stands to reason that you can eat with the fork in your right hand.

When speaking or talking, it is etiquette to place the knife and fork on the plate. It’s also a sign of respect for the person next to you.

Note

If the plate is empty, if you still want to continue eating, spread your knife and fork apart, roughly in a triangle shape, then the waiter will not take your plate away.

When you have finished eating, you can place the knife and fork parallel to each other on the same side of the plate.

If the plate is empty but you still want to eat, spread your knife and fork apart in an approximately figure-eight shape, and the waiter will add more food to you. But this only applies at banquets where additional food is permitted or when eating the dish to which it may be added.

When eating Western food, it is taboo to use your own tableware to serve others.

Never point fingers while holding a knife and fork in your hand.

Forks and spoons can be put into the mouth, but knives cannot be put into the mouth, regardless of whether there is food on it. In addition to the etiquette requirements, the entrance of a knife is also dangerous.
