These roasting forks are very long and allowed us to sit further back from the camp fire while roasting hotdogs as well as marshmallows for our s'mores. The wooden handles are an excellent touch and adds some class to the metal forks. The handles are 8" long and have ridges in the middle to help grip them. The metal forks are 3/16" thick and 26" from the tip of the fork to the handle. The forks themselves are 4" long.

The forks seem durable. You could probably bend them with your hands if you wanted to, but you would actually have to try to bend these. They come with red plastic tips to put on the end of the forks. Try not to lose the tips because they are easy to misplace. I tossed the tips in an unused bowl for safe keeping.

These roasting forks made the camping trip more enjoyable and other than some scorch marks on the metal, they held up very well. Just be prepared for the grueling job of scrubbing burnt marshmallow off them.

One of the other reviews says these aren't sturdy enough for more than marshmallows. Well, we used them for hot dogs over and over and they've been just fine. The stem (for lack of a better word) is long enough that our 7 y.o. was able to do her own hot dog without her body getting too close to the fire. I also like the little bag that comes with them makes it easier to keep them together and stored.

Great for kids and camp-outs.

Best Deals for Rome Hot Dog/Marshmallow Fork

I know but the coat hanger is free. Well when we purchased these coat hangers were the norm for the past 20 years for us. After these arrived my kids and adults wait their turn now to use because of how sturdy they are and you can quadruple the marshmallow count (more s'mores please) and double the hotdog count. The hotdog is tricky depending on the brand and length but all seem to work. The length could be longer but with the thickness (steel) and thicker wooden handle it is very comfortable to use. The pouch it comes with it is the only negative I can give it because its so thin that the ends start poking thru. Not enough of a negative to drop a star. They clean up is pretty easy and can be put in dishwasher but we don't due to the length and don't want the handles to come off. We found if you spray a light coat of cooking spray when doing marshmallow's it makes clean-ups very easy. Be careful though that you don't point the forks down toward the fire because they will fall off the end with the cooking spray on them when the marshmallow gets hot.

Honest reviews on Rome Hot Dog/Marshmallow Fork

I can't rate this product for what the title says it's used for (hot dogs), since I bought them to roast marshmallows.... I gave it three stars for a marshmallow review only.

Things I like:

*it's a set of four

*hand-dandy carrying bag

*can put multiple marshmallows on one stick at a time

*long, so you don't have to worry about burning yourself at the fire (we have young kids using these at our fire pit and weren't worried about their safety while roasting)

Things I don't like:

*difficult to store since they are long and don't fold

*discolor after use in fire

*marshmallows don't come off easily after having been cooked over the fire

I looked at a lot of roasting forks and am glad that I chose the 34" length as the primary use will be on campfires. They will hold at least 2 hotdogs or 4 marshmallows at a time without having to get too close to the heat of the fire.
