ThreeDJ16 Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Damn, why didn't I think of this. Ultimate lazy man's way of pulling pork. Well, this is not a review, but will be soon as this is next on my list to build. I like his motto..."Pulling your pork has never been more enjoyable"...hehe... Anyway, if someone has this, let us know how it works? http://www.porkpuller.com/ Video: -=Jasen=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conodo12 Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Hmmm.... I have thoroughly enjoyed pulling my own pork by hand , or by using a few other convenient tools, but never thought of using a drill! Seems to work good in the video!

mguerra Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 disgusting This thing incorporates all the fat and inter-muscular connective tissue in to the pulled pork. I remove ALL of that when hand pulling. No thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remove ALL of that when hand pulling. No thanks! Gee, why don't you tell us how you really feel then? Typically a boston butt will break apart easily when fully cooked at those muscle groups....then this device easily used. Being real, I don't think it is intended for someone breaking up one butt. Not really worth the purchase or effort unless you are doing a bunch. Though there is the cool gadget factor for those of us who like such things.

primeats Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 After shredding 3 every Saturday, this device looks very handy! Now to find an NSF cordless drill to use in the store! As you all know, those baby's are REAL hot straight off the KK! This could save a few burned finger tips as well as the outbreak of foul language from the staff ! On a side note, most of the fat that I have noticed has been melted away during the long low and slow, as well as nearly all of the connective tissue. If any has remained it is usually in one or two large clumps and can be removed before the carnage begins with that device. Ranks high on the gadget list!

This is gonna be my very next project. If anyone can think of any improvements to their design, I will test them out. Hey Primeats, would your local codes allow for placing the drill in a seperate bucket with a hole cut in it? Someone in another forum suggested that. -=Jasen=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firemonkey Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 How about a shorter version that fits into a kitchenaid stand mixer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdbower Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 How about a shorter version that fits into a kitchenaid stand mixer That may work, but I'd be tempted to get a flexible extension for the power takeoff port instead (or whatever the official term for the accessory port at the front of the mixer is). Modifying something like this would give you a bit more reach and probably spin fast enough on 10. If not, it's just a gearbox away from it Regarding the burned fingers, notice in the video that it looks like it's smoking from all the steam escaping - that would have been painful just breaking open by hand!

bryan Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Looks like the design is a good one. Long enough to go in the right size pot. Round enough not to goop up. Strong enough to last. Just kinda costly for the back yard chef. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tucker Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 what a mess!!!! Not to insult this guy, but geeez, how can anyone be so lazy as to destroy good pork that way?!! sometimes progress for progress's sake is ridiculous. Say no to obliterated pork. I'll stay with my forks thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remove ALL of that when hand pulling. No thanks! i sure don't. the gross stuff i wouldn't want to eat, sure, but there's a bunch of that fat NEEDS to be in the pork. some of the fat cap on those butts, if you cook them right, is the consistancy of softened butter, and (i believe) should be incorporated into the pork. matter of fact, if i've got good drippings in my drip pan, i will pour some of that in to my pull when i finish. pork fat rules! the gadget is a RIOT!!! but nothing beats using your hands. i'd prefer some heat-proof gloves to that thing, for the same reason. no matter how well-cooked your butt is, there is still stuff in there that i'd rather not have in my sammich. i bet they use those gadgets at the factory when they make those plastic tubs full of porcine glop they try to pass off to the less edu-ma-cated as "pulled pork"...

Someone in another forum suggested that." I was thinking of a flexible drive that could be attached to a Dremmel up and out of the way. If you don't over do it you should be able to remove most of the solid fat chunks...I think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That hunk of SS looks around 4" diameter and close to 1/4" thick. My Dremmel would give up looking at that...hehe. But the extension sounds good. -=Jasen=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amphoran Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 As someone who makes interesting gadgets for a limited market, I feel I have to support anyone doing similar things when our interests intersect. So - I got one of these. The disk is aluminum, the tines are stainless. Looks like they were shrunk in (i.e. heat the aluminum and chill the stainles tines, then assemble. When temps equalize, they are very firmly held in place). The shaft is a standard 1/4" drill extension, and is NOT stainless. Looks and feels very robust. After having had the pleasure (not!) of hand-pulling 12 butts for a large group bbq last summer, this looked to be a great solution. It is intended to be driven with a cordless drill at relatively low speed. Why would you need a second bucket with a hole? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the shaft looked like a standard drill extension. FYI, the second bucket was a possible simple solution to prevent motor brush particles from the drill motor getting into the food (it was suggested on another forum). Which I assume that would be the concern in the food service industry while using a typical household drill (not that I would worry about it for my use). I agree about the neat solution. Just glad I am not the only one on the forum who is too lazy and distigusting (earlier posts) to use such a product for destroying good pork! hehe -=Jasen=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
