Handheld Meat Tenderizer Tool, Stainless Steel, Needle-Blades

I cooked a steak for dinner, and it was really tough, which was disappointing. I had purchased the meat tenderizer tool for my niece, and she said it worked well. So, I purchased it and used it on the next steak I prepared. It worked great. The steak was tender. I will say that pressing down on the tool into the meat requires a bit of a push, but the results are worth it.

works well

I bought one of these at a restaurant supply store several years ago and we loved it. We grill a lot of venison and this makes it so completely tender and lets the marinade work much better. Other family members asked our secret to such good steaks and once told, they all bought one too. The two large screws that hold the piece together became loose over time and trying to screw them in tighter just eventually made them break through the plastic on the other side. I searched Amazon for the same unit and didn't find it, so ordered another brand. It lasted 6 uses before the plastic housing broke apart. A more diligent search of Amazon lead to finding the original brand of what we had (this one) and we ordered a new one. It works great, just like the old one did. If they can upgrade the part where the two big screws hold the plastic housing so they don't get loose, I would be in for 5 stars. Even with that flaw, it's the best one out there.

My husband absolutely loves us. He uses it practically every day to tenderize his meat for the barbecue..

Edit: Doing 2 sets of holes on each side (4 total), made a dramatic difference on thin-sliced pork chops. They changed them from hockey pucks to tender. Also used this on flank steak for fajitas. It that made them so tender that my son said, "You've really gotten better at this recipe!". :) This is a game-changer. It is larger than I thought it would be (too big for kitchen drawers, so I am temporarily putting it in a kitchen cabinet), but it is sturdy, solid, and the action works well. It has the feel of a quality item. I'm still experimenting with it, but so far, it seems like the more holes you make, the better.

My boyfriend's favorite! He has large hands and doesn't like other brands. Works great!

This is a rugged tool. I was surprised at the weight and quality of the Meat Tenderizer. It is easy to use and does a good job of tenderizing meat. I used it on some NY strip steaks with marinade. It was more tender and tasty than I was used to. After you try this tool, you will use it every time.

I was looking for a sturdy meat tenderizer that would work on small & large pieces of meat. This certainly fits the bill. It arrived exactly when I expected & I immediately washed it & used it on my steaks. It has a very sturdy build to it; but it is quite big & somewhat taller than other meat tenderizers. (You can't really see just how big it is based on the picture.) I have small hands, so it took me a bit getting used to its size. The handle is comfortable & has a nice grip so it won't slip even if your hands are wet. The blades are quite sharp, so you definitely need to be wary of this when using it. Do not rock the product back & forth, just place it on top of the meat & push straight down, then left up & move it to the next area of the meat & push straight down. It is dishwasher safe (I would say top shelf only) & I will also say to wash it first before using it. It works great on chicken, but much better on thick cuts pork, beef, bison, elk, & deer. I also love that marinades seem to work faster/better after I use the tenderizer. I could actually taste the marinade through my entire piece of steak after marinating for only 4-6 hours. It's a tenderizer with heft & does exactly what you expect it to.

Tenderizing meat! Works like a charm! Excellent!

輸入牛肉のステーキや、トンカツ用の豚ロースの筋切りをして、柔らかくするための道具として、重宝しています。 1,000円台のものとの違いは頑強さです。 包丁を使ってちょこちょこ切るより、こちらを使う方が圧倒的に柔らかく、食べやすくなります。

Strong, watch your fingers!

Muy buen producto

Excelente para ablandar la carne.
