The basic action of cooking after serving is to "cut with a knife in your right hand, and then fork the cooking with a fork in your left hand". Press the left end of the dish with a fork and fix it. After cutting the dish about the size of a bite with a knife along the side of the fork, the fork can directly stay in the entrance of the dish, which is simply "press it with a fork and then cut it with a knife". If you want to cut the food smoothly, start with the posture first! Correct posture and proper angle are very important. Too high elbows on both sides will make the knife and fork angle too large and stand upright; On the contrary, if the elbow is too low, the knife and fork will fall down, so there is no way to cut the dish properly. Relax your shoulders and wrists, don't open your arms, and keep the angle between the knife and the plate at about 15 degrees. Here it is summarized into seven points: sit upright for cooking; Relax your shoulders and wrists; Keep your arms close to your body; Elbows should not be too high or low; The knife and fork are inclined to the plate; Hold the dish tightly with a fork; Move the knife gently, but use force when holding it down. In this way, not only can the food be cut easily, but also the posture looks quite elegant. The way the knife moves also has a point. First, apply force to the fork in the left hand, and then gently move the knife. Be careful not to use force when pulling the knife back, but to use force when pressing it forward, so as to cut the food neatly.
When the elbows on both sides are too high, the angle between the knife and the fork will be too large, and the food cannot be cut neatly. Knife and fork should not be tilted too much. The fork can be freely changed according to the characteristics of cooking to facilitate dining. When eating with a fork, the back of the fork must face upwards. However, when eating with a spoon, the fork should face upwards. Different from chopsticks, the fork can rotate up and down according to the cooking characteristics to facilitate use.
You can't change the position of the set tableware at will, but if you are left-handed, you can exchange knives and forks when eating. Only after eating, the tableware must be placed according to the usage of right-handed people, and the handle of the knife and fork should be placed on the plate to the right. The main reason for this is not to cause trouble to the service staff.
