Best Answer

The serrated edge of a dinner knife is always placed toward the plate at the beginning of a meal. This applies to all sit down meals, including breakfast, brunch, luncheon, dinner (both formal and family style).

During the meal, once the knife has been used the blade is rested diagonally on the right side of the plate, serrated edge toward the center of the plate, with the fork (tines down) at 90 degrees to it. The fork may cross over the blade but it does not have to.

At the end of a meal the knife is place diagonally on the plate with the fork (this time tines up) parallel to it.

How do you set Thanksgiving dinner table?

Setting a Thanksgiving dinner table depends on how formal you want to be. Of course, starting with a Thanksgiving table cloth is always a nice touch. Generally, a proper place setting starts with the plate, with the knife next to it on the right and the spoon next to the knife. The blade of the knife faces the plate. On the left side of the plate is the napkin with the fold facing away from the plate and the dinner fork either on top of the napkin or between it and the plate. The glass is placed at the top of the knife and spoon. If you wish, you can add additional silverware, such as a soup spoon, salad fork, seafood fork, butter knife, etc, depending on what will be served. When adding silverware, place the additional pieces beside the matching pieces in the order they are expected to be used starting from the farthest away from the plate. Additional china can be added, too. A bread and butter plate can be placed above the fork and napkin. A cup and saucer for coffee or tea can be placed beside the napkin, etc.
