The present invention provides a hand-held and hand-heated thawing tool comprising a handling portion and a functional portion wherein one or both portions comprises a composite material comprising 1-90% by weight of a conductivity-enhancing graphene phase dispersed in or bonded by a matrix material of 10-99% by weight based on a total composite weight, and wherein the handling portion, when being held by a human hand, transfers heat from the hand to the functional portion for thawing or melting a food item, such as butter and ice cube. By holding such a tool, a person can use his or her own body heat to rapidly thaw a slice of butter, or melt and cut through a block of ice without the assistance of any other heating tool (e.g. an oven).

Stackable Disposable Utensils. The spoon, soup spoon, spork, fork and knife are all be stackable with like items so that the most compact package is provided. The handles have a W-shaped cross-section defined by a raised peak in its center, leading to a pair of valleys adjacent thereto, and terminating in slightly raised outer edges. Furthermore, the tail end of each utensil terminates in a downwardly-sloped portion to further add strength.

A training utensil for promoting proper use thereof by children includes an elongate handle having a predetermined length along its axis and a triangular cross-section in the form of an isosceles triangle having a larger base and two smaller equal sides. The smaller sides form substantially equal angles θ and an opposing angle γ=180°-2θ at an apex opposite the base where θ is selected to be within the range of 5°-55°. A head portion extends from one end of the handle along the axis for engaging food items. A transition portion at an end of the handle transitions from the triangular cross-section to a substantially flat cross-section overhang generally co-extensive with the base to cover a proximate end of the head portion. Color coded marker and handle surfaces guide a user to the positions of the fingers gripping the handle.

The present disclosure provides a multifunctional cooking utensil. The multifunctional cooking utensil includes a kitchen knife, a toothed knife, a fork, a turning shovel, and a spoon. The kitchen knife and the toothed knife are assembled to form scissors. The fork and the turning shovel are assembled to form a water filter food clip. The spoon and the fork are assembled to form a water receiving food clip. With the above structure, the cooking utensil implements the functions of the knife, the fork, the turning shovel, the toothed knife, the scissors, and the food clips, and may be applied to restaurants, barbecue restaurants, hotels, and home kitchens, and achieves an integrated use of a plurality of tools.

A condiment dispensing utensil assembly for on-demand dispensing of a condiment includes a utensil, which comprises a shank that can be grasped in a hand of a user. A panel is engaged to the shank and defines a chamber. A condiment is positioned in the chamber and is selectively dispensable therefrom.
