Prongs come in many shapes; the most common is a cylinder with a domed end.

Me: I would sketch a rectangle with a circular end (rectangle + Circle + snip extra lines); rotate it.

Or if it is not straight start with a line and a circle and loft the circle ...

Or, use something I would need to learn: pipes which probably is the best choice to create the basket and multiple bent prongs.
