hook for turning grilled meats

[rotuts]

some time ago

 

lf courier here  , at some point 

 

there was an item , meant to flip steals or grilled meats

 

w a hook on the end.  it came in too sizes .

 

any one remember this  , or have one ?

Sounds like a BBQ tool perhaps. They slap their meat around.

 

I'm reminded of Thomas Keller's injunction against tongs for meat, which he felt bruised the protein. Seems silly and arbitrary to me.

this perhaps @rotuts?

Reminds me of the utensils the Japanese use to haul frozen bluefin through Tsukiji fish market …

@gfweb 

 

yes , that sort of thing

 

but an earlier version

 

and a bit higher end.

 

had a tiny hook on sm and large

 

some sort of blond hardwood handle.

 

probably lost traction when copy stuff came out.

 

it just ...

 

driving me a bit mad i don't remember it

 

and it was years ago

 

4 ? or less ?

 

somebody did have the set and posted a pic here 

 

maybe only once,

 

sigh.

They’re called pigtail turners. I don’t see the appeal myself.
