Know before you buy
Unlike a traditional two-pronged carving fork designed specifically for stabilizing roasts, the Granny Fork features a unique tine shape that makes it a versatile multi-tool. It is designed for everyday tasks like stirring, blending pastry, turning food in a pan, and serving, rather than just carving.
No, hand washing is recommended. Because the handle is made of natural walnut and secured with brass rivets, the high heat and harsh detergents of a dishwasher can cause the wood to crack or discolor over time.
The overall length of the tool is 7.75 inches. The tines are precision-ground and sized to provide enough reach for general prep work and serving without being cumbersome.
Yes, the natural walnut handle is shaped to provide a secure and comfortable grip. The use of brass rivets ensures the handle remains stable and durable even during repetitive tasks like blending or stirring.
The tines are crafted from high-carbon, stainless steel. This combination provides the edge retention and strength of high-carbon steel with the rust and corrosion resistance of stainless steel.
