fondue forks

Cheese pot utensils

Fondue forks are long-handled forks with two or three slender tines, used to spear food and dip it into a communal pot of melted cheese, chocolate, or hot oil.

The extended handle keeps hands safely away from heat.

They often have colored tips or markers so diners can identify their own fork: Everyone grabbed a fondue fork and started dipping bread cubes.
