English Muffins,
Fork or Knife?

I do knife. I like them a little more even.

Julia Child says fork. I don't care as long as it's toasted.

 

[dmtaylor]

Fork.

But I'll take knifed ones. Just had the knifed kind for breakfast this morning, they were cheaper than my favorite brand and they're still good.

Definitely fork or this English muffin splitter

There is a split already, use a fork to loosen it. Toast it. Then a knife to spread the butter. Then fingers to eat it.......

In the morning, I'm not awake enough to be trusted with sharp objects. I use my hands to pry them open.

Knife, only want to wash one item!

Bread doesn't stick to the fork, wipe it off and put it back in the drawer! Or just drop it in the cutlery basket in the dishwasher.

maybe OP should clarify- to open them? to eat them? the whole shebang?

cuz other than applying butter or jam i see no reason to use anything but your hands.

unless you're some weird euro type, the kind that eats pizza with knife and fork.....

fork, it's the only way to get some nice topography to hold the butter.

I'm pretty sure, the vast majority know I am referring to how to split them, but regardless, I am not to critical of the answers, I find all the replies interesting and some humorous.

My personal preference it to use a fork to split them, it makes the nooks and crannies nice and uneven.

AND I use a knife to spread the butter and my hands to eat them.

Also, when traveling in Europe, I do eat my Pizza with a fork and knife, I mean I'm not a savage...

More PC? I would not bow to it, especially Europeans..... Knife and fork only when it is too hot or not stiff enough to pick up. And a fork to gather up all the goodies that fell off.....

I use a fork because when I try to separate with my fingers I tear it to pieces.

fingers

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

Nigella style? I'd fork that.

 

[MaxStout]

Band saw to cut, then a caulk gun to apply jam. It's the industrial diet.

I've used a fork to cut and spread butter before. Not the ideal tool, but it will work if the butter is soft enough.

Fork and now Thomas’s has a bagel with nooks and crannies inside it so you can get the best of both worlds!!
