• a neck having a neck convex top wall extending from an end of the handle, wherein the neck convex top wall and the handle convex top wall together define a unified convex top wall, and a neck concave bottom wall extending from the end of the handle, wherein the neck concave bottom wall and the handle concave bottom wall define a unified concave bottom wall;
• a plurality of tines extending from the neck, each of the tines having a concave bottom surface and a flat tip;
• a plurality of hollow ridges, each hollow ridge disposed on the neck and a respective one of the tines, and terminating proximate to the flat tip of the respective one of the tines;
