Foley Fork

This item ranks right up there with the Big Yellow Tupperware Bowl in terms of kitchen use. Neither are still available as new item; look on a used site.

But, the Foley Fork. I found one in a box of stuff I took from my grandmother's house. I don't have counter space in the kitchen for a utensil crock, so I rely on my (tiny) drawers. A whisk takes up a lot of space. The Foley Fork doesn't. The Foley Fork does all of that, and can actually fish stuff out of water or broth. The Fork can also serve as a masher.

Anyone else have one? Anyone else also use one? I've also heard them referred to as a "Granny Fork" or a "Blending Fork."

How fascinating -- I've never seen or heard of a Foley fork! If you google it you can find a few images of it. gourmetsleuth.com has a knockoff; there's a photo you can click on to see their version. I love the idea that Norpro and Lamson have created knockoffs.

Looks to me that, along with the do-it-all Kitchamajig, the do-it-all Foley fork deserves the honor of recognition in the Under-Appreciated Kitchen Design Superstars topic.

When I made muffins this morning and wanted to use the whisk to add the dry ingredients, I didn't. I used the Foley Fork instead (after whisking the eggs using the FF). What a revelation! No big glump of dry ingredients caught in the whisk! Easier to clean up, too.
