What is the proper way to set silverware?
It depends on how much silverware you intend on using. But, the basic rule is: Utensils are placed in the order of use, that is, from the outside in. A second rule, with only a few exceptions is: forks go to the left of the plate, and knives and spoons go to the right, with the knives next to the plate and the spoons – in order of use – on the outside.
