Bear Paws were invented as a result of frustrations from pulling pork with forks. After more than 20 years on the market with multiple revisions and modifications, we are happy to offer one of the most versatile tools for the kitchen and BBQ. Although the product was initially designed for pulling pork, our customers use Bear Paws for everything from lifting meats (pork butt/shoulder, turkey, ham, roast, etc.) to stabilizing food while cutting and carving.
