ABSTRACT:
A cutlery implement for use in holding food items during eating is designed specifically for use with barbecued ribs. The cutlery implement has a spring steel wire frame having two crossing frame members which form opposite ends of a torsional coil spring. A pair of juxtaposed grasping jaws are provided on free ends of the frame members for clamping a food item. A pair of handles are provided at intermediate portions on the frame members for manually opening the gripping jaws and for manipulating the held food item. The gripping jaws may be secured to the frame members by an adjustable threaded connection to allow adjustment of the jaw separation for use with various different dimensioned food items. The gripping jaws may have aligned concave grasping surfaces or planar grasping surfaces provided with friction enhancing pointed projections.
