Abstract: A flipping hook apparatus for allowing a user to reduce the number of cooking utensils needed for a given job, eliminating food dropping, moving a user's hand further away from a heating element while manipulating food, minimizing arm and wrist twisting while manipulating food, and more safely lower food onto cooking surfaces. The flipping hook apparatus comprises a hook member having an elongated shaft and a hook portion permanently attached to an elongated handle. The hook portion is defined by a 90 degree bend in the elongated shaft, followed by a 1 inch diameter roll in a 150 to 160 degree angle. It is contemplated that the hook member is constructed out of stainless steel and the handle is constructed out of wood having up to three coats of polyurethane so as to seal and protect the wood.
