Product Information

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 Though most people will use a spoon to eat ice cream, an ice cream fork might be used with this dessert in very fancy restaurants. This type of fork has a wide, shallow, rounded shape similar to a soup spoon, but has segments cut out to create a central tine, giving it the look of a fork. 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 Fork This means that a salad fork’s proper place can vary depending on at what point in the meal you will be serving salad. If the salad comes as an appetizer, then this fork should be furthest left, whereas if your salad comes after the main meal, then it should be placed to the right of the dinner fork. Fruit Fork

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. Disposable forks are typically made from plastic, and they are useful if you buy a takeout meal to eat on-the-go. They are commonly found in pre-prepared salad boxes in grocery stores or cafes, but many retailers are phasing them out in an attempt to reduce the amount of single-use plastic being made. 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. 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. 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 ForkDinner forks are those that are used for eating the main course of your meal, such as meat dishes. They have four tines and a wide, well-balanced shape. While some people may assume that a dinner fork and a table fork are the same thing, there is actually a slight size difference. Despite their name, spaghetti forks are designed to use when eating all sorts of long pasta, such as linguine, fettuccine, and tagliatelle. These forks will typically have three tines, and each tine has ridges in it that makes them better able to grip the pasta that is wrapped around them. These types of forks are often very intricately designed and are nice to use on special occasions such as weddings. The spoon part of the fork is used for scooping and eating ice cream, while the fork part of it can be used to cut and spear more firm types of ice cream. Lunch 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.

Most people only have a few different types of dining fork in their home cutlery draw, and you may be surprised to find that there are actually over 30 different types of forks used for dining.

This type of fork is shorter than both a table fork and a fruit fork, with a slightly slimmer head. It has three tines and is commonly seen in place settings at fine restaurants above where the plate is positioned. This type of fork is designed for use with desserts such as pies, tarts, cakes, and other sweet dishes.
