Cave Tools Food Flipper and Meat Hook for Grilling, Flipping, and Turning Vegetables and Meats BBQ Grill and Smoker Accessories, Right-Handed, Large (17 Inch) + Small (12 Inch) Black

These are really neat! They function similarly to tongs (and our Cave Tools tongs are awesome), but they're so much cooler than tongs. These are great for cooking on non-stick surfaces where you wouldn't want to use metal tongs. These puncture the meat (or veggies or anything else that needs to be flipped) from the top and easily flip in one fluid motion...no more digging tongs under and over the meat to get a good grip, while possibly scratching your pans. They're also easier to clean than tongs since there are no nooks and crannies where food or grease can get stuck. The tips are very sharp, but they come with plastic caps so you can store them without hurting yourself. These also come with a digital recipe book! The recipes sound delicious, and a few of them even include instructional videos. I highly recommend adding these to your grilling utensil collection!

These are the most sturdy and durable pigtails I've ever seen - great for anyone who BBQs, smokes, or generally cooks meat. Note they do come in left or right hand versions - make sure to get the version that meets your needs.

Fantastic little tool set. But sure why no one thought of this before, or at least why I never heard of it. Unless the meat is falling apart, hooking into it to flip, turn, or adjust is simple and fast+-especially when dealing with larger cuts of meat (ribs, roasts, steaks, etc). These hooks are larger and far more robust than I initially thought they would be. They are real tools and not play things. These grill hooks belong in the arsenal of every grill or pit master!

These are well made. My husband has us pigtail hooks for years when BBQing for large groups. These work beautiful for the smaller BBQ's.

I like the ease of turning food I use the long one on the grill and griddle, and the shorter one in the kitchen. They are easy to clean and store away. Works good on bacon. Seems to handle heavy cuts of meat without any trouble. So much better than tongs to remove a large roast from my pressure cooker as I sear it and later to remove from pot. I think everyone should get them for their indoor and outdoor cooking. Sorry I waited so long I thought it was just a gimmick until I tried them different the tool of choice when cooking for turning rotating meat. I still discovering other uses since I bought them. You can also turn pizza in a pizza oven with the long one to get even browning of the crust.

Easy-to-use

....sharp enough to make you regret not paying attention!I read with amusement how some found these so dull they couldn't puncture a tomato. True enough if you didn't take the protective plastic covers off!These arrived in good shape on time. The turners were zip-tied to a cardboard plate in their box to prevent movement during shipment. The turner's large diameter shaft extends all the way down to and through the curl, tapering quickly to a very sharp point. These will not bend under a reasonable load, say a 13+ lb brisket. The large bend radius in the curl means you can dig deep into the meat if necessary-- it will not pull or rip out.Very first use was turning 2 plump pork chops at the bottom of our Instant Pot with ease. Later in the week, I used one to turn 2 16 oz steaks on the hot grill.Verdict: the salad tongs are now officially relegated to tossing salad, not meat.Finally, yes they can be used in the kitchen. If you have any fine motor control at all, you can flip bacon without scratching your skillet or pan.

I avoided these for years because I was concerned about all the juices running out. Turns out that's not really a thing. As handy on the griddle as on the grill and smoker
