Sample, not realHandy, a bit tricky to wash
Meat gets stuck between the tines and needs a brush. Otherwise they are great for shredding chicken.

Meat Claws, Pair
$11.99
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
- 4 × 4.5 in (10.2 × 11.5 cm)
How to use it
Rest, pull, serve
- 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.
- 02
Hold and pull
Grip one claw in each fist, push the tines in side by side, then pull them apart along the grain.
- 03
Lift and serve
Use the claws together to scoop the shredded meat into buns or back into the juices.
Close up
Built to be held in a fist
Grip
Your fingers go through the slot and wrap round the bar, like holding a bag handle, so the push comes from your arm.
Tines
Six per claw, long and pointed. Push them in side by side, then draw them apart along the grain.
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.
| Compared | This productMeat claws | Two forks | Stand mixer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tines per hand | 6 | 4 | Not needed |

Each claw is 4 × 4.5 in (10.2 × 11.5 cm) and weighs 1.2 oz (34 g).
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 1.2 oz (34 g) each. That makes them gentle on the inside of a ceramic slow cooker pot.

Sample, not realTurkey thighs weeknight
Roasted turkey thighs for a weeknight dinner and shredded them for sandwiches. Quick enough that dinner was still on time.

Tbh the main thing I like is not touching hot greasy meat with my fingers.

Sample, not realSlow cooked chicken thighs
Thighs go in the cooker in the morning, claws come out at tea time. Takes about a minute to shred.

Sample, not realDinner party lifesaver
Eight guests, fifteen minutes of rest, two minutes of shredding. Guests thought I had hours of work in.

Sample, not realBrilliant on pork, so so on roast chicken
Pork pulled beautifully. A dry roast chicken breast came out chunky. Poached chicken was perfect.

Sample, not realSix tines makes a difference
They grab a lot of meat at once because of the six long tines. Did a whole slow cooker of carnitas in no time.

Sample, not realExpected something sturdier
Thought they'd be metal or at least heavier plastic. They're very light and I didn't like the feel. Went back to my two forks.
