Take Grilling To The Next Level With These BBQ Claws
Summer grill season is in full swing, with the Fourth of July, the unofficial “Super Bowl of Grilling” rapidly approaching. If you are the type of grillmaster who typically sticks to burgers and dogs, let this be the year you step up to do something more adventurous. I’m talking about pulled pork.
Many people think of pulled pork as something grilled during fundraisers at the firehouse but beyond their experience level when it comes to making in the backyard. That is not the case. Pulled pork, already delicious, can take on that extra level of flavor when made with your own elbow grease.
The hardest part about making pulled pork is the “pulled” part of the process. Grilling pork is not difficult, but ask anyone who has tried how frustrating it is to laboriously shred it into pieces with two dinky forks. Not fun! You really need a special tool to pull the tiny slivers of pork apart. You really need barbecue bear claws.
I like the word that these barbecue claws, from a brand called Cave Tools, use to describe their use. They dominate. Specifically, they “dominate chicken, beef, brisket, turkey, poultry, hams, roasts and anything from your slow cooker, grill or smoker in record time.”
To be a truly successful grillmaster, you need to dominate your meat. You need to tap into your primordial man and do to the pig the modern-day equivalent of what your ancestors did to wild boars.
Trust me, the sheer thrill of it will make you want to forego traditional grill fare for good.
