Abstract
A lifting tool for roasted meat, having a main handle with a longitudinal handle axis, a first handle end and a second handle end. A pair of tines are spaced apart, each having a tine base end and a tine tip end and being formed with a substantially continuous curve which is concave when viewed from the second handle end. A pair of cross members connect the first handle end to the tine base ends. Preferably, an auxiliary handle is provided, having a gripping region and being affixed such that the curve of the tines is concave when viewed from the gripping region. The auxiliary handle preferably has an auxiliary handle base section which extends upwards from the cross members and an auxiliary handle set-back section which connects the auxiliary handle base section to the gripping region and which extends towards the second handle end. The lifting tool preferably has a stabilizing prong having a longitudinal prong axis which is parallel to the handle axis, and a prong tip which is pointed. It is also preferred for each of the tine tip ends to be contoured with a sloped surface and rounded.
