ABSTRACT:
A food preparing utensil which has a flexible body supporting several food puncturing spikes. The body is formed by a trunk between spaced apart, axially aligned and integral handles. The trunk is formed by a plate with a depression bounded by peripheral sidewalls. Handles extending outwardly from each side of the trunk are formed by a panel with an indentation bounded by peripheral sidewalls. When the utensil is deployed, the user places their fingers in the indentations. Several food puncturing spikes protrude outwardly from the trunk bottom to penetrate the food item. Each generally pyramidal spike is in the form of an elongated, tapering shaft with a rounded tip. The shaft has a center core that extends from the shaft origination at the trunk to tip. The core is peripherally bounded by several regularly spaced apart blades that cut their way out of prepared food to prevent utensil lodging. When used, the user places their thumbs in the depression while placing their fingers in the handle indentations. The utensil spikes punctures food to create ducts for venting the food interior. To deploy the utensil, the user grasps the handles with their fingers while placing their thumbs against the trunk and then forcefully thrusting the spikes against the food. The user continues thrusting until the spikes penetrate the food. The user may then flex the utensil to ensure that the spikes slide upward easily during removal. The user may subsequently remove the utensil from the food by lifting upwardly with their fingers while immobilizing the food with their thumbs.
