In this case, I think that whatever works works. If others don't like it,
it's their problem.
I would cut straight across the middle of a soft round object like a
pancake, then turn it a quarter of the way and cut at the same angle and
direction. Using a compass as a reference, cut from north to south, then
east to west. If you want it in eighths, cut from northeast to southwest,
then northwest to southeast. You can keep the cutter in the same position,
turning the plate to the desired direction and cut as before. With a
pancake, very little pressure is needed. If you want to make it really
easy, use a pizza wheel if you have one. To avoid messy syrup and stuff,
apply it after cutting rather than before. HTH.

Jessica, remember that this takes practice. Just because it doesn't work
well now doesn't mean that you won't get better. It's true, sometimes
those
things will happen, but it's okay. Keep trying, and above all, try to be
patient with yourself. This is something you're doing for yourself, and
what other people think is not the most important thing. How you do a
thing
is not as important as that you do it.

Hi. I am trying to cut the food for myself but I do not like
cutting one bight at a time. That is why I want to learn how to
do it all at once. Wen I try to cut from the edge in, Every time
I make a cut a new edge is formed and I can not tell what edge to
cut from. I do not want to touch my food because that makes my
hands messy and other people do not like me touching my food. I
do not like touching my food either. When I try to hold the food
from moving with the fork I end up cutting the food out from
under the fork and then it moves around. I do not mean to offend
you. That is just my feelings around the situation. Sorry for the
long email.

Hi, Jessica,
Learning to cut food takes some practice. It's always best to
start from the edge and work in; if you are cutting it for
yourself, perhaps cutting one bite at a time would be easier. If
you are cutting it for some one else, such as a young child, you
may need the help of a very clean finger to touch the edge of the
food and guide you to where to make the next cut. Using a fork
to hold the food in place also keeps it from sliding all over the
plate.
Hope this helps,
Alice
