F. Dick Premier Plus 7-inch Kitchen Fork, Blue Handle

Carving stations and kitchens that color-code their tools can use this blue Premier Plus kitchen fork to hold roasts steady and lift meat. The 7-inch forged fork does not flex when it is pushed into a large cut.

A rigid fork keeps the roast from shifting under the knife, so slices stay even. It also turns meat in the pan, lifts a chicken from the roasting tray and moves carved slices to a platter. The blue handle matches other blue Premier Plus tools for a single food group or station.

The fork also tests roasts and braises for tenderness, since the tines slide in easily when the meat is done. It is a handy tool beside the stove as well as at the carving board. Hand wash it and dry it before returning it to the station.

Pair it with the Premier Plus 8-inch carving knife or the 10-inch carving knife. For a fork with the classic ringed handle, see the 1905 8-inch carving fork.
