  • works great
These were very easy to use and worked exactly as they are described. Worked so much better than forks. Shredded pulled pork and chicken easily.

  • I wanted a better method. I ordered a set of these
These meat claws are strong, sharp, and really do make shredding cooked meat easier. Before I bought these, I pulled pork (and beef, and chicken) with two forks. That always took more time and effort than I thought it should, and my hands were always tired and sometimes achy afterwards. So, for an upcoming family gathering where I planned to pull two whole pork shoulders, I wanted a better method. I ordered a set of these, but as the date of the gathering drew near, and I worried I would not get these claws in time, I bought a different pair of meat-pulling claws at a local store. Then, these arrived, in time for the gathering. As a result, I was able to "test drive" both types of tools. I have to say that using these Cave Tools claws is the superior way to pull pork shoulder into shreds. The grips on these tools allow them to work like extensions to my knuckles, and they really do allow the user to pull an entire pork shoulder into shreds in just a couple of minutes, versus what I estimate would have been 10 to 15 minutes of work using two forks, and would have resulted in tired "people paws" afterward. I have only one suggestion for an improvement, if it is not a technical impossibility of the plastic-molding process: make the backs of the claws solid and smooth; there are small indentations in the backs that can hang onto little shreds of meat that make cleanup a little more work than a smooth, solid back would do. ... show more

  • worked well
I was very happy with these after pulling my first two butts with them.

  • Surprisingly Useful
So, yeah. These things look a little childish. I admit that when I first saw these I was less interested in how they work than I was in how much I would feel like a middle aged fat superhero with them. I even laughed along with I watched Alton Brown make fun of them in a recent video (don't know if his were this brand or not). But when I was out of town on a business trip, my wife ordered them for me anyway. You know what. I like them. I know, unitasker, drawer candy, sink danger magnet. All the warning signs. But they are handy. First, I do indoor slow cooking quite a bit. I do a barbecue style dry rub and wrap up an electric roaster and set it to 225F and let it go overnight. You don't get the great smoke flavor but when you work 12 hour days it's the closest you feel like getting. I also, at least once a month, cook a large pork roast in my crock pot covered in sauerkraut. With the wife and I working long hours we like to cook set it and forget it meals. Those often involve large chunks of meat in slow cookers that don't make it easy to remove them. My first act with these babies was to pull a Boston butt out of the roaster. Now, the meat is falling apart already so it's usually really hard to get out of the roaster with other utensils. I often use them just because they make picking up large hot items a easy as cake (although I don't think I'd try to pick up a cake with them). I have used them to pick up roasted poultry and an entire beef brisket that I had no intention of shredding. But this particular butt I both picked up and shredded. They shred like a dream. Normally, my meat is really tender (as to be expected for guys my age)...so shredding isn't that hard anyway...but these things just fly through it. If I have to give one complaint, it's that once you get a little pork fat in the mix they are a little hard to handle. They try to turn a little in your hands making you adjust your angle to a little bit uncomfortable position from your wrist. That's usually just when trying to pick up a heavy item...when you're shredding it doesn't really bother me. It's really not a big deal and I'll make that sacrifice if that lack of grip is what makes these things clean up so easily. ******UPDATE******* OK...my complaint about the fat has a fix. After shredding a few more things, I noticed that I had worked out a way to keep them from slipping so much. It's hard to explain, but I'll give it a shot here. Don't shred your meat holding the claws perpendicular to your line of motion. In other words, don't shred in the way that seems like how they should work...like a cat clawing a chair. Instead turn the claws about 45 degrees to that angle and pull towards you. I find the easiest way is to use one claw to just hold the meat down and use the other to rake towards me. ... show more

Seem to be sturdy and works great to shred meat

  • From a regular Amazon customer who PAID the public price for these, my UNBIASED opinion .... THESE CLAWS ARE GREAT!!!
DISCLAIMER: I am a regular Amazon customer and PAID the same price for this product that was publicly available to everyone else. I did not get this for free or at any special hidden discount to write a review. This is my HONEST opinion as a real paying customer and it is not biased in anyway by getting "paid with a product" to write it. I have now used these claws to shred pork, beef and chicken and they are so much better than my old method of using two kitchen forks. The claws: 1) greatly speed up the shredding process, and 2) pulls the meat into pieces perfect for great BBQ sandwiches. They are sharp and dishwasher safe if placed in the top rack. How much do I like these? I recently have ordered a second set to give to my married daughter and her husband so they can make pulled pork, beef or chicken sandwiches when I come for a visit! I love BBQ. BONUS: Here is super easy slow cooker/crock pot recipe I found online for PULLED BEEF that can be served with BBQ sauce or with au jus (like a French dip sandwich). I have made this 4 or 5 times now and it has been great every time! 1) Take 3 to 4 lbs of beef chuck roast, 1 pack (1 oz) of powdered hidden valley ranch, 1 pack (1 oz) of powdered au jus gravy/sauce, and 1 stick of butter. Put the beef chuck roast in the slow cooker (if one large piece of meat, I cut in two and add both) and immediately top meat with the powdered ranch, the powdered au jus gravy and the stick of butter (just dump them in). Put the lid on the slow cooker, and set to LOW heat for 7 to 8 hours. You might want to stir things in the slow cooker once about an hour or two into the process. Recover and let it cook. 2) After the 7 to 8 hours in the slow cooker, remove the beef (but save what's left in slow cooker if you want au jus style). Shred/pull the beef using the CLAWS, of course. If you want au jus style, skim the fat from the au jus gravy that is left in the slow cooker and what's left after you throw out the skimmed fat is a tasty au jus. If you want BBQ pulled beef, just add your favorite BBQ sauce (generously) to your pulled beef sandwich. A huge thanks to CAVE TOOLS for making the whole process of pulling the meat so much easier! ... show more
