Product Information
Full details
Designed for home chefs seeking to elevate their carving and meat preparation, the Stellar James Martin 18cm Carving Fork offers precision and comfort. Its key benefit lies in the secure grip and balanced design for effortless carving. A minor caveat is that its specialized design is best suited for poultry and roasts, rather than lighter tasks. This fork is crafted from high-carbon hardened stainless steel with a comfortable, anti-slip handle, featuring two long, narrow tines ideal for holding meat steady during carving and transferring slices cleanly.

Troubleshooting
Fork feels loose in the hand
Ensure the handle is clean and dry. The moulded anti-slip handle is designed for a secure grip; if it feels excessively loose, check for any damage to the handle.
Tines are not piercing meat easily
Ensure the meat is at a temperature suitable for carving. The tines are sharp but may require a firm, steady pressure. Check that the tines are clean and free from any residue.
Discoloration on the steel
This can sometimes occur due to minerals in tap water or prolonged contact with acidic foods. Wash gently with a mild detergent and dry immediately. For stubborn marks, a specialized stainless steel cleaner can be used.
