An article of manufacture comprising a planar utensil element fabricated of an elongated foldable material and having a plurality of scores indicating where the planar utensil element is to be folded in order to become a usable utensil. Folding the planar utensil element about the scores produces a handle and a bowl. An element of a food package fabricated of the same material as the planar utensil element, such as a cover, covers at least a portion of the planar utensil element. The cover or other element of the food package provides physical and hygienic protection to the planar utensil element during transportation of the planar utensil element. The planar utensil element is positioned under the cover or other element on a surface of the food package.

A combination spoon and fork system capable of being stored in a nested configuration or used as a combination eating utensil with the spoon and fork connected end to end. An interlocking mechanism can interlock the spoon and fork in either the nested position or in the end to end configuration. The interlocking system allows the handle of the spoon to slide between rails on the handle of the fork and to snap and lock the spoon in place either nested with the fork or end to end with the fork to form an elongated combination eating utensil. The spoon and fork of the system can also be used separately from one another.

A portable chopstick including two-piece square chopsticks is provided. The two-piece square chopsticks include an upper chopstick body, a lower chopstick body and a chopstick body aligning structure. The upper chopstick body has a lower end joint block; the lower chopstick body has an opposite upper end joint groove. The chopstick body aligning structure can be separated into two parts, which are precisely positioned in the upper chopstick body and the lower chopstick bod respectively, wherein the upper chopstick body and the lower chopstick body can be made of different materials. When the lower end joint block of the upper chopstick body is locked with the upper end joint groove of the lower chopstick body, the upper chopstick body is aligned with the lower chopstick body through the chopstick body aligning structure at their four sides.

A one-piece construction chopsticks including symmetrical first and second portions connected to each other by a parallelepiped resilient member at a rear end thereof in a mirror image configuration. A hook on the second portion aligns and maintains positioning of the first and second portions and limits the size of an opening between a bottom side thereof. A pair of parallelelepiped rails perpendicularly disposed on a lower segment of the first portion guides and aligns the first and second portions. Interchangeable implements, such as a spoon, a fork, and a gripping tool, is attachable to the bottom side of each of the first and second portions. Thus, the present chopsticks secure a food particle between the gripping tools without the time and effort involved in developing the skills necessary to use conventional chopsticks, while also permitting the interchangeable use of an eating utensil, such as a spoon and a fork.

A crab meat removal device that is extremely easy and fast to remove crab meat and eliminates the need for traditional more tedious devices and methods associated with removing crab meat. The crab meat removal device includes a handle, an elongated stem, and a contact head. The contact head may be circular or oval and may push or pull the crab meat from the crab leg that accommodates the anatomy of the crab shell and tendons. The crab meat removal device may be made from stainless steel that is subjected to an electro phasing process to prevent corrosion and to meet Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rules and regulations. The crab meat removal device also includes a corresponding method for removing crab meat.

Training chopsticks are designed to guide beginners and lifelong users alike to adopt a proper chopstick grip, allowing learners to extend chopstick tips wide apart. They allow learners to focus first on mastering the twirling of chopsticks between the closed posture to the wide-open posture, based on principles of the planetary gear train, without having to simultaneously learn to secure chopsticks using the required thumb pose. Such thumb pose can be mastered later as a second step. Furthermore, a variation of training chopsticks provides an elevated thumb rest to accommodate learners suffering from anatomical limitations. As a result, a learner can wield these training chopsticks to embrace large food items with ease, manipulate these large items with dexterity and finesse in the same way she can small items, and generate enough compression force to hold all items firmly between training chopsticks.
