Product Information

These are most commonly seen in stores along coastlines where seafood is popularly eaten, such as New England in the US, and the Norfolk coast in the UK. These types of forks are usually inexpensive, and they can make eating shellfish a much easier and less messy experience, so they’re a good investment if you’re a fan of eating this type of food. Fondue Fork Serving forks are larger than dinner forks and are usually sold in a pair with a matching serving spoon. These two items are typically used together to dish out a big plate of food that will sit in the center of the table, such as a side salad or a large bowl of pasta. In fine dining restaurants, you are not likely to see table forks being used, and instead, there will be specialist forks for different types of food. Toasting Fork

A chip fork is a common type of single-use eating utensil that is widespread in the UK, which is famed for its fish and chip shops, also colloquially known as ‘chippies.’ These takeaway restaurants provide chip forks to their clients so that they can eat their food on the go. Dinner forks are larger than table forks, and these will most often be found in fine dining restaurants. They are the largest of all the commonly used forks, generally measuring seven inches in length. Salad ForkA lunch fork is much like a dinner fork but smaller. It is a versatile fork that can be used to eat many different types of food, but the size is smaller simply so that it looks proportionate to the smaller size of a lunch plate compared with a dinner plate.

There are a few different types of fondue fork, depending on the type of fondue you are eating. If you are having cheese fondue, then the appropriate fork will have three tines, whereas a meat or broth fondue will call for a fondue fork with two tines. Fondue tines should be metal so that they can withstand the high temperature of the fondue, though you can get plastic fondue forks for use with fondue sets that use candles for melting, rather than a proper burner.

A table fork is an all-purpose fork that most people will have in their home, which is used in a wide variety of settings. Table forks are commonly found in dinnerware sets as the standard fork that most people will use for main courses, as well as eating other dishes like salads and fish. This fork can double up as a cake fork or dessert fork, but in very fine dining establishments, a pastry fork will be separate to a cake and dessert fork. Pastry forks are usually quite small and are intended to be held in the right hand while the left hand is used to hold the plate. This is why the edge of the fork is sharp and functions as a knife so that you won’t need two hands for holding two utensils. Chip Fork A pastry fork is made for, you guess it, eating pastry. These forks have three or four tines, with the left-hand tine being larger and flattened with a beveled edge, which allows it to double up as a sort of knife for slicing the pastry into smaller, mouth-sized portions. In fine dining, a dinner fork would never be used at a lunch sitting, because the size would simply look enormous when positioned alongside a lunch plate. A lunch fork will typically measure around six inches in length. Deli Fork
