We have several of them also. I didn't know they were called that either.

I just call them meat forks, I have a couple. Very handy. I have
metal spoons like that, too.

Funny thing, terminology is. My 'meat fork' is longer and has but two
sharp tines. That's the one that went through my finger. :-/ I guess
i shouldn't have used it as an ice chipper, eh? Sumbitch!

Are you using the short fork or something longer for grilling? Have you had
yours a long time? I'm having a hard time finding one in the stores around
here. I'm going to have to go to Amazon or such.

Start prowling around garage or estate sales. I got mine for a dime at a
yard sale. Couldn't do without it now.

I use tongs for grilling. I have a long one for outside and a short
one for inside:

Go to target. They used to package 3 different sizes together: long
(good for bbq grilling), medium (good for stirring pots of spaghetti)
and short. Now it's just a package of medium and short... the long
one is sold separately, if you can find it. The price is unbelievably
cheap (significantly under $10).

I like these kind of forks, but would never use them to poke at meat on the
grill. I use a long grill spatula or long grill tongs. I also have a long
grill fork which I rarely use. Piercing meat while it's cooking is not
really a good idea. When it's ready to remove from the grill, that's a
different matter.

Well, I don't have a fork specifically made for grill use. It's similar to
the photo Chris Marksberry provided a link for. It's just a longer
two-pronged fork that I use for slicing meat and stabbing at stuff to test
for doneness. Mine is different, though, in that it doesn't have a wooden
handle. It's quite possibly Bakelite. I've had it at least 25 years.

We call it a carving fork, but yes, I have and use one.

Generally, a carving fork is longer. Are you using the short fort or
something about 10 inches long? The reason I'm asking is because it used to
be a common thing to find in the kitchen area of the supermarket and I
haven't seen one for year. Mine is about to pass away. I was able to find
some at Amazon.

They have them at antiques shops, thrift shops, etc. (Of course,
there is no guarantee that any particular shop will have them.)

So do I, have had the same one for more than thirty years now. The only

I prefer a chef's fork.

Picked one up at a restaurant supply in LA several years ago.

Along with 2 different size (length) professional tongs I sue them to handle
99% of all the food I handle.

Potatoes I squeeze with my fingers - yes they're hot but for the micro
second I don't burn my fingers.

That's a very pricy fork for stabbing meat or veggies.

Yahbut my granny fork cost about 1/10 the price of that hummer. Nice
tool, though. That'd go through my finger right nice, I reckon. Ouch!
Don't ask me why I'm so familiar with the concept.

But you mean West Hollywood. Actually, I used to live two blocks from
what is now WH. The demographic was well on the way to being what it is
now, but it wasn't incorporated at that point, being just another part of
Los Angeles (like Hollywood itself remains).

It was much less than $50.00

I shop at Star Restaurant Supply in Van Nuys - I am listed as a B&B for
their professional discount.

Whenever I get down to the city I load up on professional (commercial)

It's not just you. Mine's from the Vermont Country Store about 20 years
