Kitchen Tools: The Fork

IMG_6541

If I was limited to one tool in the kitchen, it would be the fork. Not unlike the golfer who plays nine holes with only a seven iron, he is both envied and mocked. I’m not sure what that means, but let’s talk more about forks.

First of all, it’s standard kitchen issue. There is a metal fork in almost every kitchen. I say almost, because I knew a coupleĀ of guys in college and all they had in their kitchen was a plastic fork, a 18 lb. frozen lobster and sixty seven packets of Soy Sauce. Those guys aside, most every kitchen has a basic, metal, four prong fork. I use them to scramble eggs, flip chicken, pull pork, mix salads and more. Common fork, I salute you.
