yarb commented on the word stick a fork in it
I understand the usage, but doesn't one stick a fork in it to determine whether it is in fact done?

ry commented on the word stick a fork in it
hmm it is so. But since the fork assay is employed after the prescribed baking time, doneness is anticipated; fork-crumb cleavage is normally a confirmation. For some advanced bakers it might well be a vestigial (or, in the case of Mrs. ry, talismanic) observance.

I'm with yarb. Society is being ruined by the neglect of due process in fork stickage.
