Pastry fork

Pastry fork

A pastry fork is a small fork designed for eating pastries and other desserts while holding a plate.

It is typically designed so that it can be used with the right hand, while the left hand holds the plate. It therefore has the left side widened to be used like a knife to cut the food when pressed down on the plate. Left-handed pastry forks have the right side widened instead.

Anna M. Mangin was awarded a patent on March 1 1892, for a pastry fork for mixing pastry dough. [http://media.wiley.com/product_data/excerpt/7X/04713870/047138707X.pdf]
