Light My Fire Spork Review

Likes
This spork can twirl pasta and hold soup like no other. The spoon and fork are separated, which means, for pure functionality, the Light My Fire spork is unrivaled. It has a neat but almost useless knife edge built into one of the fork tines. The Light My Fire Spork was the second lightest of the products tested, heavier than the Alpha Light by only .06 oz.

Dislikes
Copolyester is brittle. The knife edge snapped off while testing and the fork tines feel fragile. The plastic has an unusual texture and is often difficult to clean. It also has a relatively low melting point. When a tester used this spork while cooking with a cast-iron skillet, the metal got hot enough to melt the tips of the fork tines.

The shaft is wide and bulky, which makes the utensil rather unwieldy. Eating the same meal with both sides of the spork would be a great way to get hands and clothes covered in food.

Best Application
The Light My Fire Spork is best used for car camping or backpacking. Because this spork can’t really be used for cooking, its applications are more limited than the other sporks tested.

Value
Of the products tested, the Light My Fire Spork is by far the best value. It might not be as durable as the others, but an individual Light My Fire Spork sells for as little as $2.50. Four-packs are sold for $6.
