The invention relates to disposable utensils such as kitchen utensils and cutlery. The technical problem is how to adapt the utensil to get extra usability and to allow its biodegradation after its primary use for serving or consuming food. The problem is solved by utensils comprising an elongated flat handle connected via a neck to a part of a food handling utensil, the handle having a through hole at the proximal end, and the utensil further comprising at least one plant seed arranged in the through hole, and a biodegradable, preferably composting barrier arranged on the handle so as to close the through hole on both sides and retain the plant seed in the through hole. The barrier can be formed as a film made of chitosan, alginate, gelatine or from a starch-based material, from cellulose-based material or protein-based material obtained from chicken gluten or casein. Having completed its primary use, the utensil is used as a planting tool that also serves as a support to a plant and gets eventually naturally degraded.

Kitchen device comprising three connected parts, an inverted dome cup, an attached spout and an attached handle, which makes poaching eggs easier and safer. The spout and handle are used as arms and have flat bases so that the device can suspend across a bowl. This allows for an egg to be cracked into the inverted dome cup so unwanted messy thin egg white is removed from the surface of the egg first before poaching, through integrated slits in the cup around the handle. The remaining thick egg white and yolk can then be poured safely via the spout directly into boiling water for cooking, keeping the users hands well above the hot water level.

The present invention comprises A food consumption utensil with an oblong, oval-shaped shallow bowl region having a flat bottom, a curved side, and ridges along the tip. The unique aspects of said utensil create an advent experience for the snack food consumer, obviating the need to touch said food directly with hands. The ridges on the tip of said utensil assist in guiding snack-like foods into the oblong, oval-shaped shallow bowl that allows for the holding of said food. The curve on the right side of the utensil encourages ease of deliverance of said snacks into the mouth of the consumer.

A liquid control tool enables users to control the timing and amount of liquid to be consumed. The liquid control tool includes a handle and a head attached to the handle. The handle has a cavity (e.g., for storing liquid). The head has a concave surface defining a bowl. The liquid control tool also has two one-way valves to control the flow of liquid into and out of the cavity. The first one-way valve is configured to allow fluid to transfer, through a first opening in the bowl, from an external environment into the cavity. The second one-way valve is configured to allow fluid to transfer, through a second opening in the bowl, from the cavity into the bowl. A user can use the liquid control tool to hold and combine their food with a liquid when the user squeezes the handle and is ready to eat the food.

An eating utensil having a fork head that includes a plurality of tines and a concave fork bowl portion is described. One or both of the outer tines include a chamfered or tapered surface that extends laterally inward from a curved outer edge of the corresponding outer tine such that the curved tine/fork head edge acts as a splitting feature. In some embodiments one or both of the curved fork head edges that act as a splitting feature is/are smooth. In some embodiments, the eating utensil is formed of a glass reinforced thermoplastic material such as a glass filled nylon.
