Start in the center and just hold the fork in the middle and start to give it a late turn and then move your fork out towards the edges, trying to follow that nice little lying that is left by the end before, as you can see what that one gives you more texture. That the original of the very 1st 1 The spring out, the knife ever so slightly towards the edges.
