If you are a serious cook this is the tenderizer you have been looking for. My first tenderizer was the "hammer" type tenderizer. It did an honest job tenderizing the meat along with your knuckles! For obvious reasons, I did not enjoy working with this particular model.

My second tenderizer was the "stamper" style. Again, it did an honest job but my hand would slip down on the handle and I would begin tenderizing my hand.

My last attempt at procuring a tenderizer I could live with is this particular model. I love the offset handle....no more sore knuckles or hand. The weight is fantastic! Basically, you just let the weight of the tenderizer do most of the work for you. Your job is just guide the plate to it's intended target. The surface of the tenderizing plate lets you cover a wider area than the "hammer or stamper" style. Thus reducing your time in half.

Clean up is easy, either wash by hand or place in the dish washer. So, what's not to like?

This type of design is the preferred type by any serious cook. Unorthodox, at first, but largely superior after a little practice. Slides much better than a conventional mallet, larger surface area provides more even pounding. You can get much thinner meat with this design than any other, in a shorter mount of time.

The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is because I wish it was a little heavier. It is pretty heavy as-is, but if it was a little bigger, it would be perfect.

Easier than the other meat tenderizers used before. Good long handle and nice weight.
