Silicone fork for cooking?

W_Stewart · May 17, 2015

Can someone recommend a silicone high temp form for cooking? I'm trying to avoid using my standard metal forks for tending food in my cast iron and teflon coated pans.

I have silicone spatulas, and also wooden spoons, but sometimes a fork is still called for like flipping french toast or scrambled eggs.

Thanks!

Calphalon makes a nice nylon fork with a comfortable shape. $6.99 at bed bath and beyond . Sorry I don't have a pic.

There's this one from Calphalon: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00JTUG28G/tvwb-20

And this one from OXO: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B003L0OOVC/tvwb-20

OXO has better ratings and is less expensive.

I stay away from using metal stabbers in my cast iron but I am not afraid to use a metal spatula.
I even wash with soap!
Metal turners with rounded corners is what I use.
