Bellemain Meat Pounder & Flattener, Stainless Steel Kitchen Mallet

I was looking for a way to mince ginger regularly to make ginger tea, then had the idea that maybe I could save a lot of chopping by just smashing it. This pounder works great for this application. It's heavy, easily controllable, and the handle is very comfortable. I'm very happy with it.

This works really well to flatten meat. Handle is long enough to be comfortable to hold but be warned, it's heavier than I expected. I'm used to using a tenderizer hammer and this is much heavier which is probably why it flattens so well. This will not fall apart. Very well made. Dishwasher safe.

This makes flattening and tenderizing meat effortless thanks to its ergonomic grip and balanced weight. The stainless steel mallet feels sturdy and comfortable, perfect for everything from chicken to beef. It’s a versatile kitchen tool that saves time and makes cooking prep much easier.

Review of: Bellemain Meat Pounder Flattener, Easy-Grip Meat Tenderizer, Stainless Steel Meat Mallet for Cooking, Meat Hammer, Chicken Tenderizer, Meat Smasher Utensil, Kitchen Mallet, Meat Masher Tool I bought this specifically for smashing garlic cloves to make them super easy to peel, and it does this job beautifully. Just give them a hard smash so they break open just a bit. Then the peel comes right off. It's made me start using real garlic in my cooking instead of jarred minced garlic! It's very heavy and I'm sure would be fantastic at pounding meat. The wide circle would make you able to pound more surface area with one pounce than the traditional "hammer" style tenderizer. However, I have always used the hammer style and I can say that my arm would tire out much more quickly using this new one. You're using completely different muscles and hand grips. So take that into consideration. I did have to remove a star because the listing states that this has a non-slip rubber handle, with is not true at all. It's hard plastic. Which makes it harder to grip and hold onto. I have very small hands that fit easily on the handle, but I think larger hands could have a harder time. But again, it's hard plastic. Since I'm only using for smashing garlic cloves, it's fine for me.

It’s a meat mallet, does everything if us supposed to.

This looked a lot like the America's Test Kitchen top pick for meat pounders, but probably less expensive. It works, almost too well. One must have some restraint when flattening or the meat gets too thin. Seems very sturdy and heavy and the perfect diameter. If you have enormous hands, you might need a bigger pounder as the handle was perfect for me, a size medium in latex gloves.

No more using a pan or rolling pin to even out cuts of meat. I have small hands and it sits well in my hand. The handle is not bulky or too short for hands. Has great weight to it.

The design makes it easy to use, it’s heavy & doesn’t take long to pound out a chicken breast. Cleans up easily.

Great build quality and weight. I would definitely recommend this shape over the classic hammer style.

Awesome meat pounder, easy to control, nice weight, about 2.5
