Not everyone knows, but cutlery should not be left in plates with food, especially if the dish has been on the table for a long time.
Any prepared food should be kept in the refrigerator, but first the treats should be transferred to a container that can be tightly closed.
It is also important to remember that foreign objects, food or liquid may get into an open plate. The problem is especially relevant for noisy parties with a large number of guests.
But why can't you leave a fork or spoon in your plate?
There are several reasons. The simplest one is aesthetics.
After all, a salad with a spoon sticking out of the plate doesn't look very appetizing.
The second reason is that someone might have already eaten from the device, and this is not very hygienic.
If the utensils are made of aluminum or nickel silver, then there is a high probability of a foreign smell in the dish due to the fact that such materials will oxidize.
