What is a carving fork used for?
1 Answer
A carving fork is used to keep meat or other dishes secure when slicing them. It also aids in keeping hands away from knives' sharp blades. A carving fork usually has two long tines and a protrusion at the base of the handle where the thumb and forefinger can rest. Shop a range of antique and vintage carving forks on 1stDibs.
