A meat chopper, also called a meat masher, breaks ground beef, turkey, sausage and pork into small, even pieces while it browns, so you avoid raw clumps next to burnt crumbles. The Chopper has six blades, is made from 304 food-grade stainless steel, and is safe to use in cast iron pans.

When can I watch the Dragons’ Den episode?

What is The Twist meat shredder?

The Twist is a heavy-duty, solid stainless steel meat shredding tool built around a twisting motion. It’s designed to shred chicken, pulled pork and beef quickly, without the flex or crack of plastic meat claws. It’s made from 304 food-grade stainless steel, forged rather than molded, with fully enclosed shredding blades. See The Twist or read Meet the Twist.

When will The Twist ship?

The Twist is available to pre-order now. Pre-ordering reserves your spot in our first production batch, and shipping is expected in December 2026. The Twist Heirloom is estimated to ship in January 2027.

How much does The Twist cost?

The Twist Classic is $129.00 USD and The Twist Heirloom is $159.00 USD. Prices are shown in your local currency in our Canadian and US stores.

What is the difference between The Twist Classic and the Heirloom?

The Classic shreds: its blades are fully enclosed for fast, everyday meat shredding. The Heirloom is our premium tier. Its blades are genuinely sharp, individually hand-sharpened edges, so it also handles slicing and salad prep. Handle the Heirloom with care. See The Twist Heirloom.

Is The Twist patented?

The Twist is patent-pending, with utility and design patent applications filed across 12 jurisdictions. Patent-pending means the applications are filed and active, but not yet granted.

What is The Chopper?

The Chopper is a large stainless steel meat chopper and masher, and it was an Amazon #1 New Release in 2025. Six blades break ground beef, turkey or pork into even pieces in one press. It’s cast iron safe and dishwasher safe, comes in 9-inch and 10-inch sizes and several handle colours, and its patent has been granted. See The Chopper.

Why stainless steel instead of plastic meat claws?

Plastic meat claws can flex, crack or melt near heat. The Twist is solid 304 stainless steel from end to end, and every Twist Classic is backed by our lifetime warranty.

What does pre-order mean?

When you pre-order The Twist, you reserve a spot in our first production batch. We expect to start shipping in December 2026. We’ll keep you posted by email.
