Chopsticks

[MadMel]

For plating, there are 2 major considerations: Balance and how narrow the tips are. I find that the tip heavy moribashis are a lot more difficult to control and are not as suited to plating fine details. Narrow tips mean how close to the end of the chopsticks do the tips touch. You want it to be touching RIGHT AT THE END, especially if you are using it to plate fine details.

For cooking, considerations are heat resistance, balance and weight, length. I believe these are pretty self explainatory.

Best of luck in your search! BTW Jon at JKI has a few. I fully recommend trying out any chopsticks before making a purchase.

I sometimes practice moving single grains of rice or sea salt flakes..... But I'm weird

Ah glasshopper . . . after this you now must try picking up an almost completely melted globule of ice cube!
Been there, done that.

i use moribashi only when i do fine plating and small amuse bouches because i find it to be ineffiecient. hands and spoons and tweezers are much faster.
