Dexter-Russell Traditional 13.5-inch Cook's Fork

Dexter-Russell’s Traditional 13.5-inch cook’s fork is built to steady larger roasts and grilled meats as you carve, and Dexter adds checking tenderness to its jobs. The slim tines test slow-cooked meat for tenderness without leaving large holes that let moisture escape. The curved tines hold a turkey or a standing rib roast in place on the board, and they lift slices or a whole bird to the platter. We have tested this fork across many jobs, from checking the tenderness of meat in a deep roasting pan to flipping heavy cuts on a commercial flat-top.

The long reach keeps the hand away from the heat of a grill or smoker, and the fork pairs naturally with a long carving knife such as the Connoisseur 12-inch Duo-Edge Roast Slicer.

Choosing a Fork Size

For smaller roasts, poultry and the grill, the Traditional 11.5-inch Cook’s Fork is lighter and easier to handle. The carving fork section of our Kitchen Knife Shapes guide covers how to use one with a slicer.
