Abstract: An improved glove construction wherein the trank, forchette and thumb components are stitched together at the outer periphery with the liner outside and a barrier layer inside to form a glove insert system with exterior seams; the insert system is then reversed to place the barrier layer outside, the liner inside and the seams inverted; a primer base is applied along the inverted seams and dried; an adhesive sealant is then applied along the inverted seams and cured. This reversed glove insert is then placed in side of and secured to an outer shell. A method to prevent liquid, chemical and viral ingress to a seam is also disclosed.

Abstract: A food preparing utensil which has a flexible body supporting several food puncturing spikes. The body is formed by a trunk between spaced apart, axially aligned and integral handles. The trunk is formed by a plate with a depression bounded by peripheral sidewalls. Handles extending outwardly from each side of the trunk are formed by a panel with an indentation bounded by peripheral sidewalls. When the utensil is deployed, the user places their fingers in the indentations. Several food puncturing spikes protrude outwardly from the trunk bottom to penetrate the food item. Each generally pyramidal spike is in the form of an elongated, tapering shaft with a rounded tip. The shaft has a center core that extends from the shaft origination at the trunk to tip. The core is peripherally bounded by several regularly spaced apart blades that cut their way out of prepared food to prevent utensil lodging. When used, the user places their thumbs in the depression while placing their fingers in the handle indentations.
