  • Multi-use kitchen tool
    Publication number: 20040064952
    Abstract: A cooking utensil includes a body with a depressed portion, a handle extending from the body in a first direction, and a blade extending from the body in a second direction not parallel to the first direction. The body has a curved leading edge that is continuous with a lateral edge of the blade. The upper boundaries of the depressed portion of the body form a plane that makes a non-zero angle with the plane of the blade. A leading edge of the blade is sharpened to facilitate use of the utensil as a cleaver. In various embodiments, the orientation of the handle with respect to the body is modified in a number of ways to prevent interference with a side wall of a cooking container.
