叉子

叉子 (chā zi) is a common eating utensil, a handheld tool used to lift food to the mouth. It typically consists of a handle and two or more tines (prongs) at the end.

Material:

• Stainless Steel: The most prevalent material due to its durability, resistance to rust and corrosion, and ease of cleaning.
• Silver: Historically used, particularly in formal settings. Requires polishing to maintain shine.
• Plastic: Often disposable or used for children or outdoor events. Less durable than metal.
• Wood: Used in some cuisines and for specific dishes; may require careful cleaning and is less hygienic for prolonged use.
• Titanium: Lightweight and extremely durable, often used in camping or backpacking forks.

Purpose:

The primary purpose of a fork is to pierce and lift solid foods, enabling consumption without using hands.

Function:
