Meat Claws, Pair

Lifts a slow cooked joint out of the pot and pulls it into strands, one claw in each fist.

€13.99

Two dinner forks will shred a pork shoulder eventually, but your wrists will know about it. A claw in each fist puts twelve tines into the meat at once and does the job with your arms instead.

  • Two claws
  • Six tines each

Pulled pork night

Twelve tines in the meat instead of eight

Two forks give you eight points to pull with, on thin handles. The claws give you twelve, gripped in closed fists.

Two dinner forks

8tines between two hands

  • Four tines in each hand to pull with
  • The strain goes into your wrists
  • Nothing to lift the joint with, so another tool comes out
  • Fine for a chicken breast, slow going on a whole shoulder

With the claws

12tines, one claw in each fist

  • Six long tines on each claw, all in the meat together
  • Fingers wrap round a bar, so your arms do the pulling
  • The pair lifts the joint too, with no second tool
  • Two light plastic pieces to wash afterwards

How to use it

Rest, pull, serve

  1. 01

    Let the meat rest

    Lift the joint onto a board or tray and give it a few minutes so it is cool enough to work.

  2. 02

    Hold and pull

    Grip one claw in each fist, push the tines in side by side, then pull them apart along the grain.

  3. 03

    Lift and serve

    Use the claws together to scoop the shredded meat into buns or back into the juices.

More than pork

One pair from the pot to the bun

  • Pork shoulder

    Long strands for a tray of buns, pulled along the grain on the board.

  • Brisket and lamb neck

    Slow cooked beef and lamb come apart the same way as pork.

  • Chicken

    Thighs or a poached breast pull apart cleanly. A dry roasted breast is tougher work.

  • Lifting the joint

    Sink a claw into each side and bring the joint up out of the pot onto a board.

  • Serving

    Hold the two together like salad servers to move the meat into buns or back to its juices.

Close up

Built to be held in a fist

  1. Grip

    Your fingers go through the slot and wrap round the bar, like holding a bag handle, so the push comes from your arm.

  2. Tines

    Six per claw, long and pointed. Push them in side by side, then draw them apart along the grain.

  3. Second claw

    Identical to the first. One goes in each hand, and together they lift a joint from the pot onto the board.

Compared

Claws or two forks?

Forks are already in the drawer and fine for a chicken breast. For a whole pork shoulder, twelve tines and a fist grip make much shorter work of it.

At the sink

Fat out from between the tines

Do it straight after serving, before anything dries on.

  1. 01

    Hot soapy water

    Run a bowl of it as soon as the meat is on the table.

  2. 02

    Brush between the tines

    Fat collects in the gaps, so work a brush down each one.

  3. 03

    By hand, away from the grill

    There is no dishwasher advice or heat rating from the supplier, so wash them in the sink and keep them off hot bars.

Try it at home

Questions

Use them on a board, not on the grill. They are plastic and the supplier gives no heat rating, so keep them off hot bars and out of the coals.

Yes, once it is cooked through and tender. Poached or slow cooked chicken pulls apart easily; a dry roasted breast is harder going.

Anything slow cooked until it falls apart: pork shoulder, beef brisket, lamb neck, chicken thighs. If the claws struggle, the meat needs longer in the pot.

No, they are moulded black plastic, light at 34 g each. That makes them gentle on the inside of a ceramic slow cooker pot.

Arthritis friendly

I have bad hands and shredding with two forks used to leave my thumbs aching for hours. These sit in a closed fist, so the pulling comes from my arms and shoulders instead. I did a whole slow cooker of chicken for enchiladas yesterday and my hands feel fine. They are light, which matters too. Very glad I found them.

Better than I expected

I'll admit I thought these were a gimmick. Two forks have always worked fine, right? But with a big pork shoulder, forks take forever and my wrist gets tired. These go in deep, you just pull your fists apart, and the meat comes away along the grain. I also used them to lift the roast out of the slow cooker, which worked great.

Fine but forks were nearly as quick

I wanted to love them, and they're not bad. On a properly slow cooked pork shoulder they're quick, but so were my forks, honestly. Where they struggled was a roast chicken that was a little on the dry side, it just broke into chunks rather than shreds. Probably more about my cooking than the claws. They live in the drawer for pulled pork days.

Lightweight and strong enough

Not heavy, but the tines go right through tender meat.

Pulled chicken for the picnic

Cooked chicken in the crockpot, pulled it with these, packed it into rolls. Done before the kids finished getting dressed.

Not just for pork

Tried them on slow cooked beef brisket, lamb shoulder and poached chicken so far. Each one comes apart along the grain with a bit of pulling. The key is resting it first, as the instructions say, then pushing both claws in side by side. The whole family has opinions about the lamb, but we all agree the shredding is easy.
