Meat fork
A meat fork is a long-stemmed and equipped with a long handle fork with two long prongs that usually when frying and partly also the grilling of meat is used. It is not to be confused with a carving fork , which usually has a shorter handle and sometimes even longer prongs and which is used when carving meat. Meat forks are commercially available in various designs and lengths. They are mostly made of metal ; Today they are usually made of polished stainless steel and equipped with a handle or handle shells made of plastic .
Meat forks are used to turn roasts ; but also to see if the meat juice comes out, which means that the meat is not cooked through yet. The risk of the cook being burned by hot, splashing fat is prevented or at least reduced by the special design with a relatively long handle or handle.
