How to Hold and Use Chopsticks

  • About
Chopsticks are not indispensable to Chinese dining or cooking except to those who have used them since childhood. But it’s nice to know how to use them and they are not difficult to master once you get the knack of holding them correctly.
Chopsticks are made of gold, silver, ivory, ivory trimmed with gold, silver, or jade, polished bone, plastic, lacquered wood, and plain bamboo. The bamboo ones, though not elegant, are very practical. They are less “slippery” in hands that are not used to them, are easy to maintain, extremely inexpensive, and widely available; and they may be used for cooking as well as eating. They are about 10½ inches long—square on the top half for holding and round on the bottom half for eating or cooking.
