… but you know what? He is wrong! It was just too much fun for him to ridicule the meat claws. I think he secretly liked them and could not pass up the chance to play superhero. The guy struggling to use them at the start isn’t using them correctly anyway, so no wonder he is shown struggling. Phooey!

While I tend to agree with him that products serving only one purpose are a bad idea, there are exceptions, and this is one if you do a lot of pulled meats, or you have space to store this for use once a year. I have shredded a pork shoulder 4 times faster than I ever could with a fork, and it is especially good for those sections of meat that are more dense and don’t shred as easily. They are super sharp, they stay sharp, and the way the blades are curved and semi hollow makes them feel super sturdy and unbreakable.

Well, these are what I bought. I bought them for $5.99 three years ago, so no idea why they are $25.95 now! But I feel I need to show the EXACT product I used. You can make your own decisions after that. If mine broke, which really doesn’t seem likely, I might try out the “Bear Paws”. If you are looking at metal instead, the ‘Easy Life’ product looks to be the best to me.

Most of the videos out there show holding the meat with one while shredding with the other, and that is fine, and will usually shred off large chunks. I find that they really shine when you shred these larger pieces into smaller with both together by interlacing the blades over the meat. I also seem to hold them opposite of most, and I think there is more power that way.

I don’t care what Alton says, 7 minutes vs. 7 years? I’ll take them!
