Using your UCO Utility Spork is a breeze. You can use it to cut through food with the serrated edge on the fork tine, pick up your food, and even scoop it. The reusable tether that comes with the spork can be clipped to your bag when you're on the go. To dry it, just hang it up using the tether. When you have multiple sporks, stack them together using the tether for easy storage. This spork is dishwasher and microwave safe, so you can clean it in the dishwasher and use it in the microwave without worry. Just make sure to check it regularly for any signs of wear and tear. If it gets damaged, it's time to get a new one.
