Flesh-hooks

Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:

Three-tined hooks for taking meat from a boiling vessel

(Ex. 38:3³And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basons, and the fleshhooks, and the firepans: all the vessels thereof made he of brass. (Exodus 38:3): 1 Sam. 2:13-14¹³And the priests' custom with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a fleshhook of three teeth in his hand; ¹⁴And he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fleshhook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh unto all the Israelites that came thither. (1 Samuel 2:13‑14)).
