- Using chopsticks to eat is not always a simple task. It can be an exercise in patience and skill if you don't know the correct techniques. But that's okay, because as you become more accustomed to using chopsticks you will develop a technique to use them with confidence and enjoy your meals. You'll find the right techniques for both casual dining out and formal dinner dinners. The first tip for using chopsticks when eating out is keeping them in position. The trick is to never hold a chopstick in your hand but rather, hold one with your finger and thumb and pivot the other into place. How to hold the chopsticks at the same time is the next step you need to master. You may want to consider practicing this with a friend before actually trying it at a restaurant with a lot of delicious food like sushi. If you have just arrived at the table and are trying to hold a chopstick, try not to hold it with your fingers. Most people tend to hold their chopsticks with their hand and use their hand for the next chop. This doesn't really work well when eating with friends so don't do it. Instead, place your chopsticks on the table between your thumb and index finger. When picking up your chopstick, don't hold it tightly or you will find that you chop it off or slip it off. Hold your chopstick like a ball and gently tip it forward until it rests on your thumb and index finger. Then, allow the chopstick to move forward a little bit. Be gentle with it. This will help you get the hang of holding your chopstick. After a few seconds, your chopstick should slide easily down your chopstick. If your chopstick slips off your hand or slips through the table, pick it up with your other hand. If it gets stuck, put your chopstick back in the slot or cup of the chopstick holder. You may also want to try a cup of hot water. When eating with chopsticks, keep your chopstick away from your mouth. Don't be tempted to take the chopstick out of your mouth, even if you are holding them on a piece of food to look at it. Chewing is a necessary part of eating. So, don't risk falling out of your chopstick or getting it stuck in your mouth. To avoid this problem, pick up your chopstick holder before eating out. It's more convenient to hold the chopstick holder while eating and then to be holding your chopstick while you are sitting at the table. As you practice using chopsticks, you'll be able to identify where your chopstick holder is when you need it. But if you cannot find it, you may have to remind yourself that you are holding the chopstick holder. After you're sure you have the chopstick holder set, hold the chopstick in your hand. And when you do need it, push the chopstick out of its holder. This helps you avoid missing it. Keep your chopstick holder clean. You might not notice it until you are holding your chopsticks incorrectly but your chopstick holder could collect food particles. To keep your chopstick holder clean, wipe it with a dry cloth after each use. Also, make sure that you remove all food particles from the chopstick holder after you are done using it to prevent them from being stuck in it. Also, remember to replace your chopstick holder regularly. Because you will be using chopsticks often, they can wear out in no time. You will also want to take your chopstick holder along with you when you travel. If you travel often or stay overnight, it's important to have a clean chopstick holder. With the right storage device, you can save all of the food and drinks from the table.
