Unusual cutlery

Not only fashion houses love to shock the public with unusual outfits. There are also interesting exhibits among the cutlery and kitchen utensils. Some of them are inconvenient to use and you can only admire them. And other unusual inventions can greatly simplify meals and diversify kitchen life with an unusual look.

Unusual cutlery

hot knife

Ice-cold oil and a rushed morning are not the best combination. The bakery chain solved this problem with the help of a knife with autonomous heating. It looks like a regular knife, but has a small heating element powered by two AA batteries. The knife is turned on using a button and quickly heats up to 42 degrees. This temperature is enough to separate a piece of cold butter and spread it on a fresh bun. All that remains is to enjoy the good morning.

Trongi

In cooking, there is a separate category of dishes that are eaten only with hands. These include chips, chicken wings, drumsticks, ribs, shrimp and other snacks.In most cases, eating such food is accompanied by dirty and greasy hands, which are inconvenient for grasping a glass or cup of drink.

In order not to get your hands dirty, there is a special device - trongs. They look like tweezers with notches that fit onto your fingertips. Your hands will remain clean.

Popcorn fork

It would be more correct to call it tweezers, but apparently the designer had his own special meaning when creating it. Like trongs, a popcorn fork protects your hands from grease and salt.

Spoon thermometer

It's not just cold oil that causes inconvenience. Too hot soup or tea can burn your tongue and palate. It is difficult to get pleasure from food after this.

For such cases, a thermometer spoon is provided. It changes color when lowered into hot liquid. It is not at all necessary to eat with this spoon, but it is worth protecting your mouth with its help.

Mustache support spoon

It is now impossible to find such an item in kitchenware stores. On top of this spoon there is a special limiter with a notch. It protects the mustache from food and does not interfere with the meal. It was used many years ago, so it is better to look for a spoon for real men in antique stores.

Cookie Dipping Tool

Outwardly, it looks more like a pirate's hook, although the hook may have been used for such purposes. A spoon with a small hook catches the cookies. Now you can easily dip it in milk or tea without getting your hands wet.

Ketchup spoon

There is very little left at the bottom of the bottle, but is this amount of ketchup really enough? This spoon was created by Heinz. It has a length of 22 cm or more, a narrow handle and a slight bend. As conceived by the creators, such a spoon is convenient for removing the remains of any sauce in tall bottles.

Designer cutlery

Carved extravagant cutlery

Belgian designer Isaiah Bloch created a set that mixed several styles. The set looks like it would match the interior of an ancient castle with a gloomy setting. All devices balance on the brink of madness and practicality. But they are definitely suitable for a themed dinner.

Ribbon-shaped cutlery

If you don't look closely, you might decide that there is a set of silver ribbons on the table. Spoons, forks and knives have a curved and slightly “bruised” shape. Holding them in your hand may be convenient, but eating them regularly can be difficult.

Devices in the form of attachments for balls

pens

Many people have caught themselves biting the caps of ballpoint pens. For such a case, the manufacturer Dine Ink invented special attachments in the form of a fork, knife and spoon. They are made of plastic, blue in color and fit perfectly on a ballpoint pen. Perhaps they are convenient to use for office workers when there is a rush and there is no time to go to the kitchen for cutlery.

Spoon for bone marrow

In the 17th century, meat was a luxury and bone marrow was considered a delicacy. To make it easier to remove, there were special devices. These spoons were thin and long, which simplified the process of eating bone marrow. Nowadays such devices are found in expensive restaurants and are served specially for meals.

“Bitten” devices

Designer Mark Reigelman didn't know how to draw people's attention to global issues. So he created a set of cutlery that looks like a piece of metal has been bitten off of it. According to his idea, people should remember while eating that overeating is a sin, and the world is full of needy and hungry people.

Designers create unusual collections of devices for different purposes.Some people try to express themselves this way, for others it’s a way to draw attention to world problems. Some of these sets can really decorate the dinner table, others are suitable only as a joke gift.
