knijpertje

French translation: liteau

Dutch term or phrase: knijpertje
Vooraf: hoe vouwen we een knijpertje?
We beginnen met de diendoek. Aan beide zijden vouwen we de flapjes tweemaal dubbel.
De wijsvinger en de middelvinger plaatsen we in de twee binnenste vouwen, de duim aan de ene buitenkant, de ringvinger en de pink aan de andere.
Dit knijpertje hebben we nodig om de warme borden gemakkelijk te kunnen hanteren.

I am translating a training manual for future restaurant staff. What exactly is a "knijpertje"?

Thanks in advance.

Explanation:
J'ai emmené un liteau, c'est une serviette qui nous sert pour le service en restauration. J. nous fait une démonstration : comment elle peut servir plusieurs assiettes chaudes en même temps.
