Pig Tail Flipper Jr. — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pig Tail Flipper Jr.?
The Pig Tail Flipper Jr. is a compact food-turning tool made to simplify flipping, carrying, and repositioning meats or other foods on the grill or in the kitchen.

How do I use the Pig Tail Flipper Jr.?
• Slide the sharp hook tip under meat or food, twist slightly if needed, then lift or flip in one smooth motion.
• Because the hook is sharp and narrow, it minimizes damage to the food’s surface and retains juices.
• Carry or transfer items by hooking, especially helpful for ribs, fish fillets, chops, or bacon.
• Use it instead of juggling multiple tools like tongs, forks, or spatulas.
How do I clean and maintain it?
• Wash by hand in warm, soapy water.
• Dry thoroughly—especially around the hook and handle junction—to prevent corrosion or wood damage.
• The wooden handle should not be soaked in water (avoid prolonged moisture exposure).
• Store hung (if there is a hanging loop) or in a safe place so the hook tip doesn’t get dulled or bent.
