The basic action after the food is served is "hold the knife in your right hand to cut it, and then use the fork in your left hand to fork the food."

Use a fork to press the left end of the food and secure it. Use a knife to cut off about a bite-sized portion of the food along the side of the fork. The fork can be placed directly on the left end of the food and put it into your mouth. To put it simply, "press it with the fork and then use it."

Cut with a knife.”

If you want to cut food smoothly, start with your posture!

Correct posture and appropriate angles are very important.

If the elbows on both sides are too high, the angle of the knife and fork will be too large and the knife and fork will be in an upright position. On the contrary, if the elbows are too low, the knife and fork will be in a fallen position, so there is no way to cut the food properly.

Relax your shoulders and wrists, do not open your arms, and keep the angle between the knife and the dinner plate at about 15 degrees.

Here are seven key points: Sit upright facing the food; relax your shoulders and wrists; keep your arms close to your body; keep your elbows not too high or low; keep the knife and fork at an angle to the plate; hold the food firmly with the fork;

Move the knife gently and use pressure when applying pressure.

In this way, not only can the food be cut easily, but the posture also looks quite elegant.

There is also a key to how the knife moves.

First apply force to the fork in your left hand, then move the knife gently.

Note that you should not use force when pulling the knife back, but use force when pressing it forward, so that the food can be cut cleanly.

When the elbows on both sides are too high, the angle between the knife and fork will be too large, making it impossible to cut the food cleanly.

Knives and forks should not be tilted too much.

The fork can be freely changed according to the characteristics of the food to facilitate dining.

When forking for eating, the back of the fork must face upwards, but when scooping, the fork should be used facing upwards.

Unlike chopsticks, the fork can be rotated up and down according to the characteristics of the food for easier use.

The set utensils cannot be changed at will, but if you are left-handed, you can use the knife and fork interchangeably when eating.

However, after finishing the meal, the tableware must be placed according to the usage of right-handed people, with the handles of the knife and fork placed on the dinner plate to the right. The main reason for doing this is to avoid causing trouble to the service staff.
