Abstract
Grip and flip barbeque utensil with a handle housing, a pair of concentrically arranged elongated tubes, a spatula member, a food gripping member, a pivot shaft, a food gripping tip, a yoke portion, gripping ball chain, flipping ball chain, grip trigger and a flip trigger. The gripping member is attached to the yoke portion straddling the end of the inner tube. The gripping ball chain is attached to the pivoting gripping member and extends through the inner tube to the gripping trigger. The gripping member is caused to rotate downward toward the spatula member when the gripping trigger is pulled. When the flipping trigger is pulled, the gripping member and the spatula member are caused to rotate one hundred and eighty degrees thereby creating a flipping action. A preferred embodiment includes a temperature sensor and associated sensing electronics and temperature display located within the handle housing.
