Disclosed is a waffle tong device and a method of using the waffle tong device. The waffle tong device being arranged so that a first and second side of the waffle tong device can be brought together by compressing a spring biased connector and once compressed, the waffle tong device can be placed on a waffle maker, filled with waffle batter and the waffle batter cooked to form a stuffed waffle. The spring biased connector configured such that once the waffle batter is cooked, the waffle tong device can be removed from the waffle maker and allowed to open whereupon the resultant stuffed waffle can be removed from the waffle tong device. Handle portions can be applied to the connector to allow for manipulation of the waffle tong device without risk of burns.

A s'more holder may have a gripping portion and a handle connected therebetween with a shaft. The gripping portion holds the components of the s'more so that the camper can rotate the components of the s'more in a campfire. The gripping portion has an upper cover and a lower support pivotally attached to each other. The upper cover and the lower support are spaced apart from each other so that a marshmallow disposed therebetween pushes the upper cover and lower support away from each other when the gripping portion is in the closed position to place the components of the s'more under compression and prevent rattling of the components of the s'more within the gripping portion as the camper rotates the gripping portion in the campfire.

A spatula (1) having a head (5) with channels (11) that automatically turn or flip food, such as cubed meats, ground beef, vegetables and so forth, when the food travels through the channels. As the head passes through the pieces of food, the pieces of food are forced through the C-shaped channels or grooves located on the opposing side surfaces (8) of the head. The channels are preferably curved having an opening (12) located proximate to a wedge (15) of the head, then extending over a rounded projection (13) and terminating at a rear wall (14) of the head where the food is forced to exit the channels.

Tongs for food preparation and a method for preparing food using tongs are presented. The tongs include a first and second arm connected to a connecting portion, the arms including each a head portion including a gripper portion for grabbing a food item when the first and second heads are brought toward each other, the gripper portion defining a portion of a cavity for holding the food item, and a spreader portion for inserting into and spreading portions of a receiving food item when the first and second heads are moved away from each other, the gripper portions of the first and second head portions being both disposed on a first side of a center plane, the spreader portions of the first and second head portions being both disposed on a second side of the center plane.

Barbeque tools in the form of fork-spatula and knife-spatula work separately or as a tongs when interlocked together by cutout in the body of each tool that assures resilient hinged-like connection without use of spring, pinion, clasp or hinge, and allows using the closed tongs as a grill scraper at one end of tool, and grill or vessel grasper at the opposite end of tool, while bottle opener, can piercer, and can opener being integral parts of the spatulas and placed away from contact with operator's hands equally ensure a safe use of each spatula separately and while in tongs assembly.

Described herein is a kitchen utensil which provides the functions of a tong and a spatula in one device. A synergistic result giving the user the ability to hold a food item with the utensil, which may be hot or difficult to hold with one hand, and to be able to pick it up, flip or move it to a serving dish or tray due to a hammock configuration provided at the distal ends of the tong arms.

The present invention relates to a device and method for easily attaching and removing a utensil made of wire or similar material to a handle that can vary in diameter and length. The invention affords a utensil that generally requires a long handle, the ability to be easily attached and removed from the handle so that it is easy to store, carry, and clean. This invention also allows a utensil to attach to a handle of various diameters and lengths to fit the specific needs of the user and the handle materials available. The device can be easily removed and reused on different sized handles.

A device to aid in the stabilization and preparation of food while protecting the user's fingers.

A utensil for other use in the kitchen or similar venues configured with two side portions and a flexible middle portion formed to bend away from the adjacent side portions. The utensil includes a handle and at least one finger tab extending above and below the middle portion that allow the user to push the middle portion above or below the adjacent side portions and to lock utensil in an open position. The side and middle portions may be configured as a plurality of fork tines or the side and middle portions may be configured as substantially square (rectangular) supports resembling a spatula. Alternatively, the utensil is configured as two separate L shaped portions. The combination of the handle, the finger tabs and relatively movable portions allow a user of the utensil to grip food or other items with the utensil.

A cooking system includes a kitchen utensil and a cooking hob, wherein the kitchen utensil is provided with one or more sensors arranged on the kitchen utensil. The sensors include acceleration sensors, gyroscopic sensors, and inclination sensors. The cooking appliance is provided with a control unit configured to receive data from the sensors and to elaborate information on how the kitchen utensil is being used, and to control the cooking appliance accordingly.
