How do you put cutlery in a napkin?

Published in Table Setting 1 min read

You place the cutlery (fork, spoon, and knife) across the napkin, ensuring they are stacked neatly and the handles are even.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

  1. Lay the Napkin: Place the napkin flat on a surface.
  2. Position the Fork: Position the fork across the napkin, with the tines facing upwards. Extend the tip of the fork slightly beyond the corner of the napkin.
  3. Place the Spoon: Put the spoon on top of the fork, ensuring the bowl of the spoon is facing upwards.
  4. Add the Knife: Place the knife on top of the spoon, with the blade facing the spoon.
  5. Align Handles: Make sure the handles of the fork, spoon, and knife are aligned evenly.

The final result should be a neatly stacked set of cutlery resting across the napkin. Many variations exist, including folding the napkin around the cutlery, but the fundamental principle involves arranging the utensils in an organized manner on or inside the napkin.
