Finally found something that works to break up and brown ground beef! Although not actually a fork, this tool is strong enough to do the job without bending out of shape, and actually works faster and easier than the old, truly sturdy, 3 tine granny fork. I had a 3 tine cooking fork for over 25 years that I used for everything, until the handle broke, and since it wasn't full tang, I couldn't replace the handle. I've searched for years for another 3 tine fork, but the ones I've found just aren't made like they used to be. They work fine for turning light-weight meat or testing potatoes, but try to break up and brown ground beef and they'll bend, tines and tang! This tool is strong, but has just enough flex to manipulate well. The tines look odd because they are made slightly offset, but the shape makes them work more efficiently. Just got the granny fork yesterday, and after one use I was very impressed with it. I can see already that I will be using it for a lot more than just browning ground beef. I'd give this tool 10 stars because it is made to last!
