Know that the fork is on the left side of the plate and the knife is on the right. If you have more than one fork, the outer one is your salad fork and the inner one is for your main dish. The fork for your main dish will be larger than your salad fork. We'll cover table settings in the last section. For right now, let's concentrate on how to hold your utensils and get to eating!
The "right" way, of course. To cut into items on your plate, pick up and hold your knife in your right hand. The index finger is mostly straight and rests near the base of the top, blunt side of the blade. The other four fingers wrap around the handle. The end of the knife handle should be touching the base of your palm.
This is the same in both styles. And both styles cater to right-handers. If you're left-handed, consider reversing pretty much anything you read on this topic. Hold your fork in your left hand. The tines prongs face away downward from you. This is often referred to as the "hidden handle" method. This is because your hand is pretty much covering the entirety of the handle, secluding it from view.
Bend the wrists, so that your index fingers are pointing down towards your plate. This makes the tip of the knife and fork also point towards the plate somewhat. Your elbows should be relaxed and not at all up in the air or uncomfortable.
But if you're taking a break from using your cutlery and in an informal setting, don't stress about it. Hold the food down with the fork by applying pressure through the index finger. If you're cutting, place the knife close to the base of the fork and cut with a sawing motion. Foods like pasta will only require a swift, easy cut, while chewy meats will take a bit of work.
Generally, only cut one or two bites at a time. Hold the fork so the tines prongs are curving toward you, with the knife further away from you than the fork. At an angle is fine, too -- just make sure you can see your knife clearly to know where you're cutting. You should be able to look over your fork to your knife. Bring smallish bits of food to your mouth with the fork. In this style of eating, bring the fork to your mouth with the tines curving downward.
The back of the fork will be up as you bring it to your mouth. Keep the fork in your left hand, even if you're right-handed. You may find that this method is the more efficient of the two if you experiment with both. Part 2. When cutting, hold the fork in your left hand. Unlike the Continental method, the American style of using a fork adopts more of a pen-like hold.
The handle rests against your hand in between your thumb and forefinger, your middle finger and thumb are holding the base, and your index finger rests on top.
Again, the tines are downward, curving away from you. Only when cutting, place the knife in your right hand. Make a cut. Hold the food down with your fork tines down , cutting through with the knife in a gentle sawing motion.
Your fork should be closer to you than your knife. Only cut one or two bites before continuing. Now switch hands.
Here comes the main difference between the two styles: after cutting a bite, put your knife down on the edge of your plate blade at 12 o'clock, handle at 3 o'clock and transfer your fork from your left hand to your right. This is the method that was prevalent when America first became America. Europe used to use it, but has since moved on, favoring a more efficient approach.
