Abstract: A utensil and method for holding a flatbread during preparation. The utensil secures the flatbread between a pair of rods to enable removal from hot oil, rolling, and general preparation of the flatbread, such as a tortilla. The rods that are disposed in a somewhat parallel spaced-apart relationship to one another. A space forms between the rods to securely position the flatbread between the rods for support. Each rod includes a proximal end that joins with a handle for facilitated handling of the utensil, and a distal end that engages the flatbread in a variety of manipulations. The proximal ends join together to form a junction. The junction includes an impeding portion that tapers into a linear portion. The impeding portion is configured to bias the rods slightly towards each other while still maintaining space between the rods. The linear portion fits into a handle.

Abstract: A clothes stick apparatus includes a handle which includes a hand-grasping portion and a handle shaft portion which extends longitudinally from the hand-grasping portion. A set of prongs are connected to the handle shaft portion, and one or more magnets are connected to the handle. The hand-grasping portion extends transversely with respect to the handle shaft portion. The handle shaft portion includes a substantially flat bottom surface which lies in a bottom plane. The set of prongs includes a first prong which includes a substantially flat bottom surface which lies in the bottom plane. The first prong is oriented longitudinally with respect to the handle shaft portion. The set of prongs includes a pair of second prongs which include respective substantially flat bottom surfaces which lie in the bottom plane. The second prongs extend at respective acute angles with respect to the first prong.
