At least one of the tines has an inner core of a metal such as stainless steel, nickel, titanium, aluminum, or alloys such as sterling silver, and an outer plating of copper or a copper alloy having a thermal conductivity and an electrical conductivity greater than the core material. The outer plating covers all or substantially all of the tine. The outer plating is suitably formed by an electroplating process.
