Would the fork end work for eating salads? I'm looking for a small single utensil to leave at my desk at work, but the tines look too thick.

I keep mine at work for lunches. I have never experienced any difficulty eating salads that I can recall. Admittedly I don't eat a lot of salads, but I can't see how it would be less effective than any other fork. The tines are wide but not particularly thick (I'd say thinner than a regular fork), and are squared off, which for my money grabs food better. Plus the serrated bit on the side of the tines can cut thru any colosssal lettuce leaves or whatnot.

it's not ideal but it's doable. appropriately that is exactly how i use mine at work.

The tines are not very sharp and a bit thick, so while you could use for salads, may not be ideal.

I just tried mine on pickle size cucumbers (which is what I wanted it for) and it works great, but they're too thin. Only about 1/16 inch, so sadly, I'm going to send it back and get one of the adjustables. If you were going to make potato chips and wanted things thin, this works great and it's all they said it would be, from what I can see.

The dinner forks and soup spoons are 1/4 by 3/8. The salad forks and teaspoons are 1/4 by 1/8. The salad forks and teaspoons have a tendency to fall through the bottom of our silverware basket, but can be positioned to minimize the problem. Doesn't happen every time. The knife handles are larger and are not a problem.

The forks were larger than I hoped for... the dinner fork is about 8 1/4" and the salad fork about 7 1/2" The rest of the flatware is normal size ;-)

The outside utensils slide "up" from the center (knife). Hold the fat end and pull toward the skinny end with one of them. Open the fork or spoon to make it easier

Well, that is kind of a subjective question...at least for me. The size is enough so you can recognize them as salad forks, still enough so you "could" use them for any part of a meal. To me, this set is as near perfect as I could get. I like every detail about the set.

I am not sure...I don't use metal utensils with mine. You could try calling the company for advice. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I would look for something a little thicker, you would need completely cover your skillets for this to work, it's pretty thin.

The forks and spoons can definitely slip around a bit, especially when fully stacked. They're secure at the neck but not at the handles. The knives stay secure because they're not stacked. If you are looking to completely prevent the pieces from touching each other really the only way to go would be individual felt sleeves that hold up to five pieces (a full place setting) each and then roll up for storage. I use these for some other flatware that I don't use as frequently (as they're a bit less easy to access than a tray).

They are pretty thin, but it still might make a decent spaghetti style noodle for you. We use it mostly for our carrots and cucumbers in salads. What I would do is to try a little and see how it turns out before dedicating the whole zucchini to it.

If you're teacups are regular and not really small, I think these would be fine. The are very wonderful little plates, we use them for toast or small sandwich plates - they are not in my mind large enough for salad plates. I didn't go look, but I thought I remembered actual teacup plates being available which had the small ring in bottom that these don't have - but maybe not.

We don't have them right now - but they're smaller than regular forks, although they also make "full size" forks and cutlery. These are intended for use with appetizers - cheese and fruit and small bites.

Does a fork work well as a spoon? They'll work well if you have the proper housing for them. You can't stick these in a non-HID housing -- most likely it physically won't fit, and if it does, it'll likely short out.

You can definitely use it for the cake tin as well as marinading meat, I use it for that purpose all the time. Might not wanna use it over a grill though since it doesn't have a longer handle that grilling utensils have (but I've used it for grilling and it holds up against the heat.)

The tip is somewhat thin and flexible, so we don't use this spatula so much for cooking, but rather for scraping bowls, etc. Hope this helps you.

Yes they stack just fine. They stack great in a drawer. The end does look bulbous but I assure you there is no bump to prevent them from stacking. Just like regular seafood forks.
