How can you resist a barbecue tool with such a name? I wasn’t too sure what to expect - for some reason, I look at the name and I think about pig tail soup (but that’s really oxtail soup, isn’t it?)

But despite it’s strange name, it actually sounds like quite a handy grilling gadget. I know that I’ve used lots of other, not-quite-so-suitable, last minute improvisations to do the same trick. I’m pretty sure the Pig Tail Food Flipper would work much better than all the other things I’ve used in the past!

“The sharp, spiral snare at the tip is cleverly designed to lightly pierce the edge of virtually any solid food for turning. A quick flip of the wrist and your food is turned to the other side. Use it for a rack of ribs, hot dogs, steaks or shrimp. It’s also perfect for the kitchen as you turn bacon, baked potatoes or French toast. Never again will you have to wobble food on a spatula with this on hand!”
