Utensils are tools used in the kitchen and dining to prepare, serve, and eat food. Common examples include forks, knives, spoons, and spatulas. Each utensil has a specific purpose, such as cutting, mixing, or scooping, making cooking and eating more efficient and enjoyable. In addition to traditional utensils, there are specialized tools like whisks for beating eggs, tongs for flipping food, and measuring cups for portioning ingredients. Utensils can be made from various materials, including metal, plastic, and wood, each offering different benefits in terms of durability and ease of use.
