Practical guidance for carving meat at table emphasizing minimal waste and better presentation. Do not pour sauce over meat. Use a spoon when possible. Start carving at the center of the thickest part for ham to retain moisture. End with the beef sirloin, cut along the bone for even moisture.

Avoid mid joint carving to prevent gravy loss and dryness.
