This is a great BBQ tool! I am a big fan of single use tools and this one is great. In the two weeks I've had it, I've used it on pork chops, steak and a chicken breast. Worked great for all. A word of caution, it's very sharp. Store it with the little plastic tip on it.

What a simple design, but after a little practice, you'll be flipping food on the grill and skillet like the pros on the cable BBQ cooking shows! It's a must-have for serious barbecuer's because you'll spend so little time with the cover off the barbecue that less heat escapes. It's a bit harder to flip a burger that isn't already partially cooked on top though, or you'll have to skewer it a bit deeper.

I do almost all of the cooking...indoors or outdoors, except for steaks. My husband always cooks the steaks on the grill to make sure his is rare enough. The first time he grilled steaks using the Pig Tail Food Flipper he used the large one and complained that he kept catching the hook part on the grill rack. He said he liked his tongs better. Because of that I used the smaller one when I cooked pork chops and did not have a problem at all. I thought it worked very well. I have also used the smaller one a couple of times for cooking bacon and it worked great! Hopefully hubby will like it better when he gets used to it.

My husband considers himself the BBQ king, and he had never heard of this tool. After reading about it, I ordered a set for him, and he wasn't sure about it, but once trying it, he agreed that it's a great tool for the BBQ. As he says, it doesn't work well once the food is cooked, or "fall-apart tender", but for turning and moving on the grill, it's wonderful!

I love grilling, but had never seen one of these until we had steaks at a friend's recently. He loved his, and now I love mine too! For meats that need flipping, like steak, chicken, & pork chops, it outperforms tongs, spatula &/or a big fork -- and is far less unwieldy. The bigger instrument of the two is also ideal for hoisting a whole roast chicken off the beer can (or container). Plus, since you're only using one implement (instead of three), it streamlines your grilling equipment and clears up some table/counter space. Finally, it is a cinch to clean. (BTW: The piercings it makes in your meat are very tiny, so no worries.)

For some meal items (e.g. burgers), you'll still want to keep a spatula & tongs around, but for the vast majority of my grilling, the Pigtail has become my go-to tool!

I was very impressed with the pig flipper, So impressed that I will never use my tongs again. They are very easy to use and work very well. I would recomend them to anyone.

At first my husband didn't think it would work but after using it several times he really likes the ease of turning steaks. I use the small one in the kitchen for bacon and it is great.

I've used one of these for years. It is common in South Louisiana. The reason I've used it so long is because it works! I've used tongs, forks, etc and with a tiny bit of practice, nothing comes close to the practicality of this device.

Get these and BBQ like the pros. I love these pig tail flippers. The only thing that I didn't like is that the metal ring on the wooden handle is not properly fastened (no rivet or nails). After about two months of use this ring comes loose and falls off (that's why I dropped my rating to 4 stars.) You'll only need the large flipper for huge hunks of meat (I've never used the large flipper in over five years.) I think the large and small flippers should be sold separately. The pointed end of the flippers are razor sharp. I have punctured myself by accident on a few occasions (easy to do.) As a BBQ tool it works great and I use these for all my outdoor BBQ's. Spatulas and tongs? Nah! Stick it and flip it :-)

This product is a very versitile product for outside griller as well as inside for the kitchen cooks. You can't go wrong when you order this item for yourself or as a gift for someone. It would be a great wedding shower gift.
