Abstract: |
A kitchen utensil and method of making the head portion of the utensil coated with a nonstick coating extending onto an adjacent handle area. A curved groove is formed into each face of the handle portion and the coating extends into the groove, creating a well defined and regularly shaped line of demarcation between the coated and uncoated areas of the utensil. The coating does not fill the grooves, creating the appearance of a mechanical joint so that the head and handle portions look as though they are separate pieces. The grooves are also used to guide trimming masking tape applied prior to dipping the utensil into coating material.
