Pig Tail Barbecue Tool
Has anyone tried the Pig Tail food flipper? If so, what is your opinion
of it? http://store.houseoffireonline.com/pigtail.html I have always used tongs, so as to not pierce the meat crust and release juice. This is supposedly a fine point and hard enough that it won't bend. Any thoughts? Nonny -- ---Nonnymus--- You don’t stand any taller by trying to make others appear shorter. |

Once you get the technique, it's faster than tongs for things like rib slabs, steaks and such. -- Dave www.davebbq.com |

It works great. Especially on a crowded grill. |

Our daughter gave her dad a Pampered Chef spatula that is rigid and about 9 or 10 inches wide. It is great for huge briskets and butt roasts. Sure has made life easier for DH. I can't find it on their website, but it is sure a good tool. Built like a brick outhouse!! Nan |

> Thanks to all for the comments and advice. I've decided that since I cook in small quantities, the spatula and tongs that I've used for the past hundred or so years will suffice. If I was cooking large quantities of steaks or ribs, it might speed things up a tad, but for us little guys, it's not worth the additional clutter on the shelf.

I have one I bought at Walmart for a lot less then they are asking for theirs. I use mine quite a bit, steaks, chops, ribs and also I have a Brinkman grill with the side smoker box and it has 3 top grates. I use it to move the grates on and off too. Mike |

> >Has anyone tried the Pig Tail food flipper? If so, what is your opinion >of it? I received mine as a Christmas gift last year. I like it--it works really well on half a chicken or ribs. Turning over steaks when I'm grilling is easy, too. Except I have a tendency to snag either myself or my clothes with that very very sharp point from time to time. 8-0 For briskets and large pork shoulders I use neoprene gloves. Mark |
