Fork, the ultimate tool

My much discussed palmolive stick joined the remains of other soaps residing in my souffle dish. I chopped it up not to finely and chopped up the other soap remains. Roughly mixed the two soaps with perhaps too much water. I tried to squish the chopped soap together but didn't have much luck because each time I lifted the implement (coke bottle) up, the soap came with it. Then I tried a fork. What an excellent tool for this job. Press down and slide back (don't lift) and the soap simply slides off the prongs. My souffle dish was then placed onto the radiator to get rid of the water and I now have an excellent cake of soap. :mrgreen:

Blimey, you should go in for Masterchef Goes Large! :hungrig
 
I had the same problem, however I used a round nail polish bottle (my wife's I promise) with a flat bottom, wet it slightly and twisted it as I pushed down and pulled up. Worked great also.... except I chucked the soap. Didn't like it at all LOL
 
The ingredients for my "rissole" cake of soap are as follows.

One whole palmolive stick. (Don't like sticks)
80 % of an erasmic stick. (Don't like sticks plus it fell off the plastic handle)
Very small amount of Mitchells Wool fat left over from previous rissole.
Small amount of Lifebouy bath soap. (Hey it smells nice and adds little red flecks to the cake).

It all works rather well actually.
Live long and prosper.

Do you use a vintage fork or one of the new style from Germany? Is it an adjustable?

Also what do people think is the best fork/knife combo?

We have these at work. Got them in gold.(dont get that every day do you!)
If you have a food that needs holding and cutting, you need 2 sporks. They are in capable of holding and cutting.
