Using spoons and forks as tongs to serve food Movie.wmv

Using spoons and forks as tongs is an old waiter's technique of handling and serving food. You can use either spoons or forks or a combination of both. Back to back way of holding the spoons is good for picking up solid food. With the spoons facing each other, you can pick up rice, spaghetti and other loose food.
Pause the video to see how it's done and you can master the technique in two minutes. If you can pick up the marbles, you can pick up almost anything.

I just turned 70 and I've been trying to figure out how to use spoons like a skilled waiter for decades. Now you've shown me in two minutes! Hurrah!

[@wtam69]

Thank you sir for watching.

R U still alive?

[@paulscates1967]

Thank you for puting this technique online here on UA-cam. This technique is used mainly in the restaurants of Australia and maybe over the world. It helps to train Hospitality students to be better servers / waitpersons with the Hospitality Industry

[@billyjaquis9553]

Hell yes. Thank you. Some French serving techniques

[@googo151]

PERFECT VIDEO BROTHER. THANKS. THAT WAS A HUGE HELP FOR ME.

[@DavidBarilAlmonte]

Thank you! I've been hacking at it for years and never figured out a consistent approach. Your video demo is just what I was looking for!

[@wtam69]

David Baril Thanks for watching. Once you have the forks in the position shown, you can slide them forward or backward a little to get the best pivot.

[@tomlouie2855]

My father was a waiter, and he taught me this technique as well. Thanks for posting this video.

[@wtam69]

Thank you Tom.

[@blancwil8672]

Great to know! I didn't think I'd find a demo on this, and then I found you!!! Thanks a bunch...of spaghetti, salad, radishes, etc.!!!

[@wtam69]

Thanks for your feedback. It is a useful way of picking up food (or marbles) without using those spring loaded tongs.

[@JeriLeighK]

Good luck with your new job.

[@futanarimouto]

Very impressive for looking like a good hostess, you make it look so easy and teach it so quickly. I'm sure with practice I'll get it down with poise and grace.
I recently got a table I'd been wanting for a long time, Danish modern designer and little teak accents. We've been having a lot more sit down dinners lately and it highlighted just how much I don't know even if I am pretty good at the cooking part.

[@wtam69]

Well, I'm sure you are overstating it. If you are in the food industry, knowing how to serve food will give you an edge and shows professionalism. Keep practicing and you'll amaze yourself. Mmm, if only I know how to twirl that fork around my fingers.

[@JaneRuss]

You are too modest. Practice by moving the utensils forward or backward in your hand to find the right balance.

If you use a fork and s spoon, it is better to put the spoon at the bottom because it is easier to serve sauce this way.

[@da5idnz]

Hmmm, I understand the finger positions, how you are holding them, but for some reason, i cannot manipulate them to open and close. Are you mainly moving your first finger and thumb?

[@wtam69]

da5idnz You are right. Move the first finger and thumb with the upper fork against the stationery second fork. Just practice a little. Good luck.
