Iron forks were used in the kitchen, as is shown in the inventory of Zerubbabel Endicott in 1683.

Now fill your pie-plate with your prepared filling, wet the top edge of the rim, lay the upper crust across the centre of the pie, turn back the half that is lapped over, seal the two edges together by slightly pressing down with your thumb, then notch evenly and regularly with a three-tined fork, dipping occasionally in flour to prevent sticking.

Twilight was falling softly.
"Will you hand me that three-tined pitchfork over there? With that in my hands I'll make Swallow see Look out! For heaven's sake, don't go near him! He'll kill you."
