My opinion is that they aren't sharp enough. That's something I'd do with metal tongs. These are useful for carving and piercing soft items, as well as stabilizing large pieces of meat.
It measures 13 and 1/4 inches from the tip of the fork to the tip of the handle (measured with a tape measure). These long utensils appeal to me because I cook most of my family's meals in medium to large pots and skillets. If using smaller pots and pans, the length and weight of the fork handle may cause it to tip out of the pan if left in the pan, so be sure to use a spoon rest or something to keep it in place between stirrings. If you use medium to large pots and pans, you won't have any issues with tipping out.
I'd say so, but I've never attempted to spear a shrimp. With my fork, I can pick up a roast or other type of meat. I hope you find this information useful.
Maybe. But, why? On Amazon, you can find a Faberware meat masher.

All of my old forks have vanished - I'm not sure where I'm supposed to go - Tongs will take their place. I must have a dozen pairs of tongs that I never use, all of various lengths, metal and rubber-coated. tipped. Some have fingers as well, but they are useless. There's no way to control a pair of tongs if food falls out or if the food is smashed. You can't even put them on the table - They simply roll away or turn over. I'm pretty sure I just kept buying them in the hopes of finding a pair I could actually wear! "I have all these tongs, but I don't have a single cooking fork," I realized as I was going through my utensils the other day. "br>br>So I went looking for one, but there were none available. That irritated me a great deal. Did you know that you can't find a "cooking fork" on Amazon if you search for it? Neither do the Googlers, for that matter - Just to get into the right section, you'll need to look for a BBQ fork. You can put your local grocery store, Target, Home Depot, or other department store out of your mind. They don't have any! (What happened to them all? )br>br>When I arrived at this section, I discovered all of you cooking fork experts debating the fine points of stiffness vs. The Bacon Scale (who knew there was such a thing? ), flexibility, and the number and spacing of tines are all factors to consider when judging them. I just needed a long fork that would allow me to spear my food in a hot pan without burning my fingers. br>br>So I just ordered this Oxo because I'm familiar with the brand. I'm not sure how it compares to other cooking forks. But when I first used this bad boy after taking it out of the package, I exclaimed, "This is what's been missing in my kitchen all these years!" " I could see my mother, aunts, and both grandmothers at their stoves, forks in hand, and I could imagine the first cave woman who tied two sticks together to make herself a cooking fork because one HAD to be made!" And I knew I'd made the right choice, and I couldn't be happier with my new kitchen fork! Simply take a chance and get one - You're well aware of your desire.
In my non-stick skillet, my husband insists on turning his steak with a meat fork. skillets with a nonstick coating I bought it for him so he wouldn't scratch my new pans like he used to do with my old ones. I assumed it would be durable and of good quality, and that it would not scratch. It appears to be in good condition and has a nice feel to it. made. The meat fell right off the fork into the hot skillet the first time he used it, and the grease splashed all over his face, burning him in two spots. I'm not sure what you'd do with a heat resistant fork if you weren't turning meat, so be careful if you're turning anything heavier than chicken fingers.
star! I've been put in this position to question some of the 1-year-olds. the number of stars The photo of the melted fork after the first time it was used to turn bacon defies physics. To melt, as shown in the photo, the fork would need to be held against a firm surface with a temperature above 400 degrees Fahrenheit. That's not the way I'd cook bacon! My purchase has met my expectations. use. Why not a total of five? star; I wish the prongs were a little more robust. br>br>Update on br>br>additional information: I've been using Oxo Fork on a daily basis since purchasing it and have had no issues! However, I've noticed that there are a lot of negative reviews with incredulous photos that aren't related to the Oxo Fork (spoons, spatulas, etc. ). Watch out for reviewers! Make the most of your mental abilities.
This is something I've been looking for for a long time! These are no longer available in stores; I believe they were intended to be used as a meat fork, similar to the metal fork used on the grill. This is a must-have for anyone cooking with non-dairy products. Stick to non-stick pans because any metal contact will ruin them. This is what I use to stir rice, pasta, scrambled eggs, and anything else in the pan that you don't want to move around while stirring. I also bought a Calphalon Nylon Fork, but this one is 4 inches longer and feels more solid. It comes highly recommended! EDIT: br>br> Dec 2012: This one is only two and a half inches longer than the Calphalon brand, but it appears to be longer. This one, on the other hand, is rated to withstand temperatures as high as 400 degrees Fahrenheit. The Calphalon fork's tines/points have begun to bend upwards, despite the fact that it is only rated for 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Despite months of regular use, the Oxo is in excellent condition.
When non- There were wooden forks and stick pans on the way. Years ago, I had one. I recently misplaced it. Let me tell you something. Not only are there no wooden forks, but there are no forks for non-meat eaters as well. frying pans that are non-stick Tongs irritate me on a daily basis. They're inconvenient to work with. This one arrived today, and I already know I'm going to love it before I've even used it. I'm an excellent cook with over 50 years of experience and a thorough understanding of kitchen utensils. It is, however, quite long, so I'll look for a shorter one to go with it. Everything comes in two sizes. This book comes highly recommended.
You know how waffles can cling to the iron and break into a million pieces by the time you get them out? This fork corrects the problem (and is the reason I purchased it). Run one of the tines along one or both edges of a sticking waffle, then poke it into one of the edges just a little and lift gently to release the waffle in one piece. Plus, because the fork is nylon, it won't scratch the waffle iron's surface.
I was looking for a cooking fork and found it in OXO. It's mostly used for scrambling eggs at the moment. The sturdy nylon is comfortable to hold and cook with, and it's a good length for mixing and cooking. It's also held up well in the dishwasher after multiple cycles. With the exception of BBQing or flipping a 2-pound steak, I've used this for a variety of other tasks in the kitchen and would recommend it for just about anything you'd want to do with a cooking fork.
It's absolutely fantastic. Because I've been using it for so long, it's a little worn out, so I decided to replace it with a new one. This one arrived, and it is not of the same caliber as the previous one. In comparison to the older style of thicker prongs, the prongs are very cheap and thin. I adore OXO products and have the majority of my kitchen utensils from them, but they fell short on this one. I guess I'll have to start looking for a higher-quality one from a different manufacturer!!.
