A utensil for use in cooking is disclosed. The utensil has a handle provided at one end and a hook provided at the opposite end. The hook is designed to impale or engage the food items. The utensil is ergonomically designed to minimize stress to the user. Additionally, a shaft of the utensil extends between the hook and the handle. The shaft offset from the centerline of the handle to allow the utensil to rotate when the utensil is laid on a surface, thereby insuring that the point of the hook will also be pointed toward the surface. In use, the shaft is maintained parallel to the cooking surface to insure that the user's hand is not exposed to the heat of the cooking surface.

1. A cooking utensil comprising:a handle having a shaft receiving end and an opposed end; a shaft extending from the shaft receiving end in a direction away from the opposed end, at least a portion of the shaft is offset from a longitudinal axis of the handle; a food manipulation member extending from the shaft at a free end of the shaft which is removed from a fixed end of the shaft which engages the handle, the food manipulation member extends from the shaft in essentially a perpendicular direction to the shaft, the food manipulation member has an arcuate configuration with a point provided at the end of the food manipulation member which is removed from the shaft, whereby regardless of the rotational orientation of the shaft when placed on a surface, the cooking utensil will rotate so that the point will face toward the surface.
