Spaghetti Fork

A type of serving utensil, commonly made of wood or stainless steel, which is used to hold the long spaghetti noodles enabling them to be easily removed from a pot of boiling water. The spoon shaped tool has protruding wood or metal prongs that allow the noodles to be grasped, separated and placed on a platter after they are removed from water. Most metal forks have a hole in the center to drain the water as the noodles are lifted out. This tool is also known as a spaghetti server or spaghetti serving spoon.
