What kind of utensils does your toddler use?

My kids are now interested in using utensils at 14 months, particularly forks. We have the take and toss plastic ones, but they're pretty difficult for the kids to pierce the food themselves, which leaves me bouncing from chair to chair stabbing food for them. Nervous about giving them metal prongs, but maybe that's what they need? Or maybe it's just a phase hip they master the stabbing part themselves? Other ideas? Thanks!
