Cave Tools Short Pigtail Flipper Review

When it comes to turning over meat, especially bacon, a regular fork just doesn’t cut it. It not only doesn’t grip the meat, but the splatter potential is huge. No one wants grease or juice splattered in their face or on their clothing when they’re cooking.

Many times we don’t flip meat and bacon over enough times because we don’t want to deal with the mess that comes along with it. That ends in meat that is burnt or overcooked on one side. Who wants that?

So, when I had the opportunity to review CaveTools’ Short Pigtail Flipper, I was excited. We cook a lot of bacon in my house and I can’t tell you how many times the grease has splattered or popped as I went to turn it over. Not getting a good enough grip on it was the main culprit. But, when I used the Pigtail Flipper, it was much easier to get a hold of the meat and turn it quickly.

The single prong at the top is sharp enough to grab the meat while the handle makes it easy to flip over the meat quickly and easily. This results in better cooked bacon and less grease splatter. I’m happy because there’s no mess and my family is happy because they get bacon that’s cooked well!

The Pigtail Flipper can also be used to turn over steaks and meat on the grill so you don’t have the flames flaring up. Since you can use it both inside and outside, it’s a win-win and a must-have in the kitchen gadget department.

You can get your Pigtail Flipper at the Cave Tools site or on Amazon. Be sure to use the promo code Flipper15 so you can get 15% off your purchase.

Once you get your Pigtail Flipper to turn your meat, you won’t turn anywhere else!

When you’re making burgers from hand one of the most difficult things to do can be to shape the burgers so that they stay in tact. So many times when you make them by hand they come apart by the time they hit the grill or pan on the stove. That’s where the burger press patty maker from Cave Tools comes in.

This handy dandy tool not only makes making burgers easier, but also makes them all the same size. It’s a win-win when making burgers for the entire family. After you mix the meat in the bowl, simply put the meat in the bottom part of the press. Use the indicator line to make 1/2 pound burger or the big 1/3 pound burger.

You can’t go wrong with whichever one you choose. From there, it’s as easy as pressing the top down to form your burgers. Don’t forget to use the burger papers the press comes with so you can get the burgers out easier and separate them.

When you cook the burger, it cooks evenly because it’s shaped perfectly and doesn’t come apart. A juicy burger is the end result of using this little tool. The burger press patty maker is a great addition to your kitchen tool collection if you like to enjoy fresh burgers.

Review: Cave Tools Fish Grill Basket

Review: Cave Tools Fish Grill Basket

*This is a sponsored post for Cave Tools. All opinions are mine.

Cooking fish on the grill is a totally different experience than cooking meat. I’ve found with different kinds of meat you can usually just put it on the grill and not worry too much about pieces falling off or getting caught on the grill.

Depending on what types of fish you cook and whether it has skin on it or not, cooking fish can become a little tricky. That’s where the Cave Tools Fish Grill Basket comes in handy.

I love to cook salmon so I decided to give my new gadget a try.

 

After seasoning it with garlic, salt, and pepper, I lightly sprayed the grill basket and put my salmon in. It was easy to get into the basket which snapped tightly so I knew the fish wasn’t going to fall out and spill out into the grill.

 

From there I gently placed it on the grill and waited for the magic to happen. The trick was to place the basket in the right direction so that the handles didn’t get stuck in the grill grates. The fish never fell out and cooked evenly. But, when it came when it came to turning over the fish, you need to be careful that the basket doesn’t get caught in the grates; no matter what kind of tongs or over mitts you use.

Once the fish was cooked, I took the basket off the grill and got it ready to serve. The fish was cooked perfectly. Although I had used cooking spray on the basket before putting the salmon in it, it did stick a bit as I tried to get it out. This was really the only issue I had besides figuring out how to turn over the basket without it getting stuck in the grill.

The Fish Grill Basket from Cave Tools is a great catch if you cook fish regularly and don’t want to get that fishy smell all over your grill. It’s also easy to clean and dish washer safe, so you won’t be scrubbing forever.

Review: Cave Tools Hamburger Press

Review: Cave Tools Hamburger Press

There’s nothing like a good juicy burger. But, sometimes getting that at home can be a challenge. Pre-made hamburger patties are usually not very thick or very juicy. That’s why it’s better to make your own patties. They’re fresher, thicker, and taste better because you can add spices and anything else you want to customize your burger. A good hamburger press is essential to make those hamburger patties perfect. That’s where the Cave Tools Hamburger Press comes in.

Unlike many products on the market, the Cave Tools Hamburger Press allows you to not only pre-make the patties, but also freeze them without losing shape. There’s no wrapping in tin foil or plastic wrap. You make them in the press and then stack the tray in your freezer.

I found this product extremely easy to use. I mixed my meat and then scooped it into the tray. After simply pressing down, I had six 1/3 pound square hamburger patties. There was no messy shaping. My piece of advice would be to make sure your hamburger meat is mixed properly. If not, there is a chance it can crumble. Nobody wants a burger that’s in pieces

The burgers made by the Cave Tools Hamburger Press are so filling that you may even have left overs! One of the best things about this product is that it is dishwasher safe. After you take your burgers out, just pop the tray in the dishwasher. There’s no scrubbing or soaking. The tray comes out sparkling clean and ready for its next use.
