How to arrange cutlery?

Cutlery arrangement is one of the most important elements of table manners. Every culture has a special respect and presentation order for food. With the practical and elegant product range, you can set up this order in style. From everyday meals to special occasions, every detail has been considered to create the perfect setting for your table. IKEA's selection of cutlery sets provides both elegance and functionality at your dining table.

In table settings, forks are usually placed on the left side and knives on the right. The sharp edges of the knives should face the plate. Spoons are usually placed to the right of the knives. A tablespoon is used for the appetisers before the meal, and forks and knives are used for the main course. For dessert, you can place the dessert spoon or fork on the top of the table.

You can impress your guests and make them feel cared for thanks to the correct arrangement of cutlery both functionally and aesthetically. This arrangement both facilitates the practice of eating and offers a visual feast. With the correct arrangement of forks, knives and spoons, you can achieve order and harmony on your table and bring the dining experience to the top.

12-person cutlery sets are ideal for large gatherings and family meals. For small families or one-person use, daily cutlery sets consisting of fewer pieces can be preferred. In both cases, you can use the same table setting and make stylish presentations to your guests or family.

How to open the cutlery service?

One of the most important elements that determine how a party starts and continues is the service of cutlery and spoons on the table. IKEA forks are designed to give your guests a quality experience from the start. You can leave a lasting impression on your guests' minds with an impressive table setting. Firstly, lay your tablecloth properly. The colour choice should be appropriate for the season and the general decoration of the environment. The tablecloth you choose should complement the appearance of your cutlery and spoon set.

Then you can move on to the placement of forks, knives and spoons. Close to each guest's plate, there should be a fork on the left side and a knife on the right side. Spoons should be placed to the right of the knife. The sharp edge of the knife should be adjusted to face towards the plate. These details will make your table setting look professional and aesthetic. The fork, knife and spoon models you will use on your table should be from the same set if possible, or products with matching patterns and colours should be preferred.

IKEA offers a wide collection of forks, knives and spoons to suit various themes and tastes. From modern designs to models with a vintage look, our wide range is perfect for any dinner party or family meal. We also have a selection of cutlery for 12 people, ideal for large family meals. These sets offer practical and stylish solutions for large groups of guests.

On special occasions, such as birthdays or Christmas, using thematic cutlery sets can harmonise with the atmosphere of the special day and give your guests unforgettable moments. We always attach importance to our products suitable for every period and fashion sense. Our products with traditional lines add a classic touch to modern tables, while minimalist and simple designs are ideal for modern and stylish tables.

During the use of food, care should be taken about the correct use of fork and knife. The fork should be used in the left hand and the knife in the right hand, and when the meal is finished, both utensils should be placed parallel to the plate. This indicates that the meal is complete and has an important place in table etiquette. Correct table manners will create a sophisticated atmosphere at your dinner invitations.

After the meal, care should be taken to clean the forks, knives and spoons used. IKEA's cutlery products made of durable and easy-to-clean materials can be used for years like the first day. Our product options, which do not tarnish or rust, maintain their quality even with frequent use and continue to offer elegance and functionality together on your tables.

How to place spoon cutlery on the table?

The placement of forks, knives and spoons makes your table look both functional and aesthetically rich. With IKEA's various organisation guides, you can create the ideal table setting for any dinner party. Firstly, place the large knife and fork for the main course on the right side of the plate. They are arranged so that the sharp edges of the knives face the plate. On the left side, other spoon types such as soup spoons or dessert spoons are positioned.

Another important point to be considered in table setting is the order of forks, knives and spoons to be used. The ones to be used should be arranged starting from the outermost according to the order of the meal. Thus, guests can easily and easily proceed in the order of their meals. IKEA offers various cutlery and spoon set alternatives that will help both visually and functionally in this regard.

During service, the forks and spoons to be used for dessert are usually placed at the top of the plate. In doing so, the dessert spoon is placed on top and the dessert fork is placed just below it. Thus, there is no confusion for dessert after the meal and an aesthetic appearance is provided.

Although table customs vary in different cultures, IKEA's products can be used to make arrangements to suit any kind of dinner party. For example, the chopsticks used in Asian dishes require a different placement than forks and spoons, and in this case it is important to position the chopsticks correctly.

Which material of cutlery should be preferred?

The quality of the materials used is as important as their quality for a good dining experience. At IKEA, we offer long-lasting use with our durable and stylish cutlery made of stainless steel. Stainless steel material is an ideal choice for your kitchen utensils thanks to its resistance to stains and rust formation. It is also preferred with its long-lasting glossy structure and easy cleaning.

The choice of material should be compatible with all types of food culture and serving styles. For some kitchens, cutlery sets with traditional wooden handles may be more suitable, while modern and minimalist kitchens may prefer models with stainless steel handles. Various material and design options offer solutions for every taste.

There are also forks, knives and spoons made of light materials such as plastic. Plastic materials may be particularly suitable for children or outdoor activities. Nevertheless, in terms of food safety and durability, it is important to choose high-quality plastic products. You can make mealtimes more fun for little ones with colourful and thematic sets specially designed for children.

Silver-plated fork, knife and spoon sets are perfect for special occasions and more formal meals. Such materials offer extra elegance and panache during service. For such occasions, you can find the designs you are looking for and meet your expectations with product options enriched with various styles and details.

How should cutlery be cleaned?

Cleaning cutlery is extremely important for health. In daily use, you should definitely follow the washing instructions and clean your products with appropriate methods. Washing your forks, knives and spoons immediately after each use, without waiting for the food residues to dry, increases their durability and prevents rust.

When washing your forks, knives and spoons by hand, it is recommended to use hot water and a mild dishwashing detergent. After washing your products, you should dry them immediately to avoid stains and water drops. 

For products that can be washed in the dishwasher, choosing the appropriate programmes in the machine will help you save energy and extend the life of your forks, knives and spoons. During the placing in the machine, you should take care that parts such as sharp dinner knives do not come into contact with others.

You should avoid cleaning forks, knives and spoons, especially those made of stainless steel, using cleaning agents containing chlorine or bleach. Such chemicals can deteriorate the surface of the material over time and cause the metal to lose its shine. 

You should not expose your products with wooden handles to water for a long time and prefer hand washing if possible. For the care of wooden products, wiping with mineral oil from time to time helps to protect the surface. Storing your forks, knives and spoons in an organised and clean manner after cleaning makes them ready for the next use and maintains hygiene standards.

When cleaning your forks, knives and spoons, it is important to pay attention to sharp and sharp ends to prevent possible injuries. To increase safety, you can use protective gloves when washing such products. You can use impressive models of forks, knives and spoons when entertaining your guests, and you can perfectly complete your table with various products from IKEA.
