What is a carving fork?

A carving fork is a kitchen utensil used primarily for holding meat steady while it is being sliced. It typically features two long, sharp tines that can secure the meat in place, allowing for precise carving. Carving forks are often used in conjunction with a carving knife to ensure clean, even slices of meat, particularly during festive occasions or large meals. They can also be used for serving and lifting food.
