fondue fork

Cheese pot prong

A fondue fork is a long, thin fork used to spear food and dip it into a communal pot of melted cheese, hot oil, or chocolate.

The extended handle keeps hands safely away from the heat.

Fondue forks typically have two or three tines and often colored tips to help diners identify their own fork: Each guest gets a fondue fork with a different colored handle.
