For those who frequently fry or cook meat in the kitchen, a meat fork will be seen as a valuable helper. Meat forks are characterized by their long, slender tines, which can easily penetrate the meat without causing it to bleed. This allows you to easily turn the meat while frying, move it in the pan, or check its doneness. When carving a roast, the long tines securely hold the meat, so you don't have to touch it with your hands.
