    We all use cutlery whenever possible when eating our meals , and if you want to follow etiquette, there are different cutlery for each dish, whether it is a starter, fish, dessert or fruit.

    The first cutlery to be invented was the knife, due to its importance in cutting meat and other hard foods, and only later were the fork and spoon invented, and then all the cutlery for other dishes.

    Fork – that’s why it fits in the lock
    In Italy, macaroni was not originally eaten with a fork, and for this reason the Neapolitan lazari tended to eat spaghetti with their hands and thus they were given the nickname “macaroni eaters” .
    Nowadays it is impossible to think of eating something without the help of cutlery unless it is street food such as a panzerotto or a slice of focaccia or a sandwich that does not require the use of these utensils.

    What is it for

    But not everyone knows that these cutlery also serve other uses other than those we know and especially the fork is extremely essential to use before going to sleep.

    You have to take a steel fork and cut it in half, making sure that the part with the tip and then its body remains. At the top of the fork we are going to bend the tips that we are going to insert into our lock.

    Then, with the body part of the fork, we will insert it into one of the empty strips on the head of our cutlery and in this way we will have created a barrier that will prevent the entry of thieves.

    Obviously, cutting and bending a fork freehand is not easy and therefore it is always best to get help or use tools that help us create this natural anti-theft device.

    Once this is done, we can safely go to bed and have a good night without fear of burglars breaking into the house as we have installed this DIY burglar alarm system.

    However, as effective as it may be, it must be said that it is always a home-made method and therefore it is always better to keep belongings, especially valuable ones, in a place where it is difficult for criminals to get to them, if they do get to them. Visit us.
