Abstract: To provide an improved meat hook for piercing and moving meat, the meat hook comprises: (1) a rigid, curved cylinder having a pointed meat piercing end; (2) a handle engaging end; and (3) a handle rigidly secured to the handle engaging end of the cylinder with the cylinder extending from the front side of the handle near one end at an angle of approximately 90 degrees or more. The cylinder is formed with an inclined portion extending from the handle engaging end with a curved end section extending from the inclined portion and relatively straight portion extending from the curved end section to form a pointed, piercing end. The piercing end is preferably in prallel, spaced relation from the front side of the handle and may be formed to extend beyond a plane which passes through the end of the handle.
