Enjoy all collections of Infull cutlery sets and kitchenware.
We use knives, forks and spoons every day.
There are many types of stainless steel cutlery and many of us may not be aware of their corresponding functions and occasions.
The cutlery set includes all the utensils needed for dining and serving.
A simple family meal requires only knives, forks and spoons, while a formal multi-course meal requires many specialty dishes.
Only by understanding the purpose of each knife, fork and spoon can we set the table and receive VIPs on formal occasions.
Regardless of design, material, or style, a complete set of cutlery will provide enough for all diners.
So, the editor of INFULL Cutlery compiled this article to help you recognize the types of flatware and what meal or food each is used for.
You can collect and forward to follow INFULL, and learn more about tableware knowledge.
There are multiple sizes and styles of spoons, forks, and knives; and the introduce below will walk you through each type we have available!
Traditional setting
A set of daily traditional tableware contains six tableware, and each tableware has seven pieces of tableware.
Diners use soup spoons for soup and broth, main dishes use tableware, and dessert spoons and forks, although dessert knives and forks are also suitable for salad courses.
The last piece is a teaspoon for any hot beverages served at the end of the meal.
There are three extra pieces of cutlery for more formal occasions.
Diners use fish knives and forks in seafood courses, coffee spoons use coffee spoons, and tea spoons are used exclusively for tea.
The size and shape of all knives, forks and spoons are related to the food provided.
Modern
Meals in contemporary life are not as formal as traditional meals.
There are usually fewer courses and dinners, except for special occasions.
The modern cutlery set has four cutlery, each cutlery only has five cutlery.
The package includes main course knife and fork, salad and dessert fork, dessert spoon and tea spoon.
Most modern tableware is made of stainless steel, which is easier to clean than silver and can be placed in the dishwasher.
Extras
Traditional cutlery sets include one or two serving spoons, and these are usually sold as a supplement to modern cutlery.
Other cutlery can be added to the cutlery set, although they are not necessarily part of the complete set.
There are a butter knife for removing butter from a butter pan, a butter applicator and a cheese knife for spreading butter on bread.
Professional forks include meat forks, oyster forks and pastry forks.
Service utensils such as fish servers, soup spoons, salad servers, pie and cake servers, sugar tongs and sauce spoons are also complementary to the basic cutlery set.
Dinner spoon：
A tablespoon resembles a traditional teaspoon in shape but is much larger.
Tablespoons are mainly used as serving utensils for bowls placed in the middle of the table.
Dinner Fork：
The all-purpose dinner fork is part of almost all traditional place settings.
It is usually used for the main course.
In many casual or quick-serve restaurants, this may be the only fork used.
Most dinner forks have four tines, but some only have three, depending on the pattern.
Dinner Knife：
A dinner knife traditionally has a rounded tip and slightly longer blade than the butter knife.
It is used for cutting slightly rougher foods such as vegetables and soft meats and is one of the more common pieces of flatware on the dinner table.
Dessert Spoon：
A dessert spoon is similar in size and shape to a soup spoon.
Dessert Fork：
A dessert fork and a salad fork are sometimes used interchangeably, even though true dessert forks are slightly smaller and thinner than salad forks.
It is mainly used for eating desserts like cake or pie.
Salad Fork：
A salad fork is smaller than a traditional dinner fork and is most often used for eating salads or smaller items such as sliced fruit.
It may also be used as a dessert fork, even though a true dessert fork is even smaller and more thinly built.
Iced Tea Spoon / Soda Spoon：
This spoon generally has a long, thin handle and a small, oval-shaped bowl.
It's great for stirring tall drinks, milkshakes, and root beer floats.
Soup Spoon：
A soup spoon has a wider and deeper oval-shaped bowl than a tablespoon, so it can hold more liquid.
It has a similar overall shape.
Coffee Spoon：
A coffeee spoon is similar in shape to a standard teaspoon but generally has a longer handle and a slightly smaller bowl.
It is designed to stir coffee drinks served in small quantities, such as espresso or cappuccino.
Butter Knife：
A butter knife typically has a dull edge with a rounded point.
This design makes it suitable for spreading jam or butter onto soft foods like rolls, muffins, or toast.
Butter spreader：
A butter spreader is typically the smallest knife in a set of flatware and features a rounded tip and flat blade.
It is used to spread butter, jelly, and other toppings.
