Following these steps can help prolong the life of your flatware. If you're setting the table for a formal dinner with the family using your new flatware, knowing where to place everything will elevate the dining experience.
We've outlined a full step-by-step guide to setting the table here , but these are the basics:. The general rule while dining is to start with flatware on the outside and work your way in with each course. The flatware for the first course or salad course sits farthest away from the plate while the flatware for the main course is closest to the plate. To set the table, first place the flatware for the main course on either side of the dinner plate — the dinner fork sits to the left while the dinner knife sits to the right with the blade facing towards the plate.
Next, place the salad fork to the left of the dinner fork and the salad knife if you have one to the right of the dinner knife. Then, place the teaspoon to the right of the salad knife followed by a soup spoon.
If you're having a dessert course, place the dessert spoon horizontally above the dinner plate with the handle pointing to the right.
