TikTok is a true paradise for the most foodies, where it is possible to find all the trends, tricks, ways of serving dishes and recipes, among other things. But it is also a place to share the discoveries and secrets that can turn anyone into a true chef. The latest trend on the net is a simple instrument that you probably have in your kitchen, and you don't know what it's for.
It is common to find in cabinets and drawers at home some items that were acquired at some point without really knowing why. Or even some that have secret utilities that you were unaware of. For example, the ladle to drain the pasta has a hole in the center that is supposed to measure the amount of spaghetti per person.
The utensil that has gone viral on TikTok is the one that is used to hold some pieces of meat when we cut them. But this simple object has established itself as an essential element for both amateur chefs and some cooks, due to its simplicity, functionality and the sculptural result it generates.
In this case, the so-called carving fork is used to plate pasta dishes. And it is that the presentation of the food becomes an intense ritual for those gastronomy fans who interpret each of their elaborations and embellish them through the art of plating.
This is how we can see it reflected in a TikTok video, in which the content creator David Ma reveals that one of his favorite pieces to serve pasta is this meat utensil, which helps turn the spaghetti before transporting it from the pan to the plate.
In addition, when placed on the plate, it is very easy to deposit the pasta and it remains in an elegant spiral shape. The tiktoker adds the sauce that he has prepared on top of the preparation, along with a little grated Parmesan and some basil leaves that crown the dish.
In other videos, some users use the same instrument to raise the pasta and plate it, placing the utensil vertically and remaining in a kind of circular shape in the center of the plate.
The trick and beautifying effect it gives to a simple pasta dish has won over TikTok users and other foodies. It is a new use of some of those objects that you have and you don't know how to take advantage of them.
