Did you know, if you take a pair and shove it into a really hot piece of meat, the tips can bend? Yes, it can happen. My sister will be bummed when she finally notices.

6.99??? Where did you get them for that price?

I've found it a lot faster and easier to wear a thick pair of cotton gloves under a pair of vinyl gloves.

1 pick out the bone
2 place hands on/near the ends - fingers up
3 turn butt/hands over (thumbs up) as you do that move fingers thru the butt with gentle pressure - it should pretty much fall apart and a lot of steam will rise
4 tear into smaller parts as needed

After you do this once or twice, it takes about 5-10 seconds per butt.

the bear claws are nice for lifting the butt off the grill
