Review on Cave Tools Meat Claws: Expertly Shred Pulled Pork, Chicken, Turkey, and Beef - Ultimate Handling & Carving Tools – BBQ Grill Accessories for Smoker or Slow Cooker – Gun Metal by Lori Gallegos

So yeah. These things look a little childish. I confess, when I first saw them I was less interested in how they worked and more interested in how wearing them would make me feel like a fat middle-aged superhero. I even had a laugh along with Alton Brown who made fun of them in a recent video (don't know if he was that brand or not). But when I was on a business trip, my wife still ordered them for me. You know what. I like her. I know, the unitasker, the candy in the box, the magnet in the sink. All warning signs. But they are comfortable. First, I cook indoors quite often. I dry rub BBQ style, turn on the electric fryer, set it to 225F and leave it overnight. You won't get a great smoky flavor, but working 12-hour days is the best you can hope to achieve. I also prepare a large roast pork with sauerkraut in my slow cooker at least once a month. When my wife and I work late, we like to cook and forget about it. They often contain large chunks of meat in multicookers that cannot be easily removed. My first action with these kids was to get the Boston cigarette butt out of the brazier. Now the meat is already falling apart, so it is usually very difficult to get out of the grill with other utensils. I often use them just because they make it easier to pick up large hot objects (although I don't think I'd try lifting a cake with them). I used them to save roast poultry and a whole brisket that I didn't want to shred. But I picked up this particular cigarette butt and crushed it. They rip like a dream. Usually my meat is very tender (as you would expect from guys my age). So it's not that hard to grind, but these things just fly through. Lard mixed with them is somewhat difficult to handle. You're trying to rotate slightly in your hands, forcing you to adjust the angle to a slightly uncomfortable position away from your wrist. This usually only happens when trying to lift a heavy object. It doesn't really bother me when grinding. It doesn't matter much, and I'll make that sacrifice if the lack of clutch makes these things clean up so easily. ****** UPDATE ***** OK. My complaint is the bold solution. After sanding a few more things, I noticed that I found a way to keep them from slipping so much. It's hard to explain, but I'll try. Do not tear the flesh and keep the claws perpendicular to the line of movement. In other words, don't shred the way they seem to work, like a cat scratching a chair. Instead, rotate the claws about 45 degrees to that angle and pull them toward you. I find the easiest way is to use one claw to just hold the meat and the other to rake towards me.
