I, too, was on the search for a 3-tined fork and was initially delighted when I found this one. My mother's antique cooking forks being the standard, however, I was disappointed in the OXO fork's tines. While the tool is the right length, the soft grip a plus, and the tines reasonably thin (though not thin enough to meet the standard), if your work requires a firm grip, the tines will likely bend. They just can't handle any weight or force. If you don't mind bending the tines back into shape on occasion, or if your expected use is lightweight, this fork will do.

This is a great fork for turning chicken or vegetables when you're cooking them. It's sharp and has an easy to hold handle. The handle is not real long so it's easy to use for simple tasks.

MOM AND I BEGAN THE SEARCH FOR A THREE-TINE COOKING FORK OVER 14 YEARS AGO WHEN HER LAST FORK GAVE UP THE GHOST. MOM WAS DISTRAUGHT. EVERY, AND I MEAN EVERY, STORE I WENT INTO I ALWAYS CHECKED FOR A THREE-TINE COOKING FORK. MOM GAVE UP A LONG TIME AGO BUT I KEPT UP THE SEARCH, EVEN WHILE LIVING IN GERMANY. I NEVER FOUND ONE. MEANWHILE, MOM MADE DO WITH THE NEW TWO-TINE FORKS AND THEY BIT THE DUST WITH REGULARITY. ONE DAY, WHILST I WAS WHILING AWAY THE HOURS IN AMAZON.COM, I CHECKED MY NEWEST FAVORITE TAB, KITCHEN AND WAS ASTONISHED TO FIND THE QUEST....THE GRAIL....THE THREE-TINED FORK. NO TIME PASSED BEFORE IT WAS IN MY MOM'S HANDS AND YOU COULD HEAR THE FIBER OPTICS HUM WITH HER GLEE WHEN SHE EMAILED HER THANKS TO ME. THANK YOU AMAZON!
