Abstract: A tool for holding and roasting a hot dog including a handle having a grip end, a shaft, and a roasting end is disclosed. The roasting end includes a central section and a pair of projections extending from the central section, with each projection comprising a substantially linear attachment portion connected to the central section. Each projection further comprises a receiving portion, consisting of a generally annular cross-section defining a first surface and a second surface, wherein the first surface and the second surface are substantially concentric. The receiving portion also includes a slot extending between the first surface and the second surface, with the slot bisecting the receiving portion of the projection. The attachment portion of each projection is angularly offset from a longitudinal axis of the grip end of the handle, and the receiving portion is angularly offset from an axis extending through the attachment portion.

Abstract: A tool for roasting marshmallow includes a handle and a marshmallow receiver or basket at a roasting end of the handle for use in holding a marshmallow over a heat source. The basket opens back towards a grip end of the handle. The distal end of the basket is closed so that a marshmallow cannot slide out of the basket when a roasting end of the handle is held below horizontal. The roasting end of the handle is bent to include an offset handle segment which is offset relative to a longitudinal axis through the grip end of the handle with the offset handle segment extending along one side of the basket. An axis extending through the center of the basket is axially aligned with a longitudinal axis of the grip end of the handle so that the basket may be rotated coaxially with the grip end of the handle.
