Types of forks for every dish

Different types of forks are used depending on the dish. With the right cutlery, you enhance your guests' comfort and create a harmonious table setting. At LUSINI, you'll find the right fork for every occasion:

Table forks – the all-rounder for restaurants

The table fork is part of every cutlery range and is laid alongside the table knife and table spoon for main courses. The classic table fork has four tines, which helps to pick up food securely while keeping the fork versatile in use.

Some versions feature long tines. These look particularly elegant and make it easier to eat pasta, salads or larger cuts of meat.

Cake forks for cakes, tarts and desserts

A cake fork is smaller than a table fork and usually has just three tines. Often, the left outer tine is slightly wider, so it can be used as a knife substitute when cutting through sponge bases or a hard chocolate layer. Cake forks are a standard item in bakery and patisserie equipment as well as in café supplies.

Delicate starter and dessert forks

Starter and dessert forks fall between the table fork and the cake fork in size. They are ideal for smaller dishes such as salads, appetisers or desserts and are often laid together with dessert spoons or dessert knives.

Steak forks for meat dishes

Steak forks are a must for steakhouses and grill restaurants. They feature sturdy, slightly elongated tines that hold the meat securely while cutting. Combined with a sharp steak knife, they make it easy and comfortable to slice steaks and other meat dishes.

Fish forks for portioning fish

A fish fork is specifically designed for fish dishes. Its shape, with one wider outer tine, makes it easier to separate fish fillets and pairs perfectly with a matching fish knife. Together, both pieces form a fish cutlery set that delivers a stylish and comfortable dining experience.

Which materials are used for forks?

Professional forks are made predominantly from high-quality stainless steel and are engineered for daily use in commercial hospitality environments.

Premium 18/10 chrome-nickel stainless steel

18/10 stainless steel impresses with its high corrosion resistance, long-lasting shine and pleasant feel. It is particularly well suited to restaurants and hotels with high quality standards. You'll find more information on this stainless steel grade and other cutlery materials in our magazine article.

Cost-effective 18/0 chrome steel

18/0 chrome steel is especially robust and cost-efficient. It is often used in operations with high cutlery turnover and is likewise dishwasher-safe.

In addition to classic silver-coloured models, you'll find forks in gold, rose gold, black and champagne finishes, as well as versions with matt surfaces or wood-effect handles.

How to prevent rust on forks

High-quality stainless steel forks are essentially rust-free. However, surface rust can develop if cutlery is left damp for prolonged periods or comes into contact with rusting metal parts.

The following steps help to prevent rust on forks:

dry forks as soon as possible after washing
do not allow food residues to dry on
use dishwasher-safe cutlery
store cutlery clean and dry
