How to Serve Caviar

2. 2

   Step 2: Take the caviar out of the refrigerator about 15 minutes before serving.

   If you serve toast, make it yourself by lightly toasting fresh bread.
   
   This ensures that the toast doesn't become too crisp. , Alternatively, if you do not have a traditional caviar server, you can fill a decorative glass bowl with crushed ice. , Open the container of caviar and place on the crushed ice, so it is surrounded by ice on all sides to keep it evenly chilled. , Though some people see no harm in the use of metal utensils, connoisseurs claim that metal taints the flavor of the caviar and frown upon it.
   
   Ensure success with your guests by adhering to the tradition of mother-of-pearl spoons. ,,,, Make sure the oil is evenly distributed before storing it in the coolest part of your refrigerator.
