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.
