We can safely say that the pigtail is a neglected child. And we think that's unfair!
You've probably seen your carefully selected piece of meat slip out of your barbecue tongs, or the juices and marinade drip off because gravity is doing its work. Ta-ta-ta-ta-taa! That's where our pigtail comes in, also known as the "pigtail BBQ flipper." This handy accessory gets its name from the "curl" at the end, which resembles a pig's tail. It allows you to easily pin your spareribs, steak, or grilled vegetables to the grill and then cook the other side in one smooth motion. Plus, you can stand a safe distance from the fire.
Handy for barbecuing and cooking over an open fire. It's important that the skewer can be properly inserted into the food. With many smaller pieces of meat, there's a risk of it rolling away or pulverizing, which isn't ideal. Also, make sure you don't skewer too close to the edge to prevent tearing.
The pigtail functions as both a fork and a spatula, making it an indispensable tool for any pitmaster!
