ABSTRACT:
A tong-like eating utensil having opposing prongs on the inside distal ends thereof for use by a person in gripping pieces of food so that the person's hands do not come into direct contact with the food. Handles connected to rotating prong support brackets allow food secured by the prongs to be rotated into a variety of convenient positions for easy consumption. Heat insulating end members may be connected between the handles and the rotating prong support brackets to protect the user's hands from hot food. Applications may include, but are not limited to, use in gripping finger foods such as barbecued chicken wings, shrimp dipped in seafood sauce, and hot buttery foods such as bread sticks.
