The granny or kitchen fork is a multi-use tool indispensable for every home cook. Great for turning food, prep work, blending pastry and serving -- with the well rounded list of uses it is no wonder it was in Bon Appetites grouping of favorite tools for the year. Julia Child also loved this vintage tool and its easy to see why. It is well priced and is the work horse of the kitchen doing everything from stirring to serving. The Dexter-Russell fork has a natural walnut handle with high carbon, stainless steel individually precision ground tines. Brass rivets secure the fork. Made in the USA. Hand wash recommended.
