carving fork

Roast holding tool

A carving fork is a large two-pronged fork used to hold meat steady while slicing it with a carving knife.

The long handle keeps hands away from the blade, and the sturdy tines anchor roasts, turkeys, and hams during carving: He pierced the turkey with the carving fork and began slicing breast meat.
