The blending fork is from the traditional chef's kitchen, but it's starting to make a comeback. Find it in specialty kitchen stores or online.
If you have a Foley Fork, produced in the early 1900s by a Minneapolis-based company, don't use it. It's a sought-after antique that you should display proudly, and buy a new version of the blending fork for use in your kitchen.
