The pointed tip slid through a thick pork shoulder without any wrestling, and the eye held the twine snugly on the first thread. My roast came out evenly browned and compact, exactly what I wanted from a simple, sturdy tool.

Finally, a trussing needle that actually holds the twine securely without slipping through the meat. The stainless steel feels solid in my hand and made tying up the chicken a breeze.

It does the job for basic trussing, and the tip is sharp enough to get through a chicken without much fuss. The handle feels a bit flimsy in my hand, though, and I wish it had a loop at the end so the twine didn’t keep slipping off. Works fine for a Sunday roast, but I’m not sure it’ll last years of
