No one would confuse the cuts of meat at my local supe with the cuts at Lobel's of Madison Avenue, say. So I decided to try one of these Jaccard Tenderizers, preferring the skewering method of meat tenderizing to noisy pounding. This thing works great! The last cut of meat I tasted pre-tenderizer was tough and chewy. Now the same cut from the same store, after tenderizing, was tender, more flavorful, and yes, I believe it cooked faster than I am used to. The Jaccard is also easy to clean, with a removable blade array. Meat alchemy indeed, as well as an easy-to-implement safeguard that any cut will be tender and tasty. Yum!

After seeing one of these nifty little gadgets on Iron Chef one night, I really wanted one! I purchased this 15 knife model and instantly loved it. Easy to clean because it comes apart and tenderized steaks, chicken, and pork so well for us! In this economy I do purchase cheaper meat cuts and this has made them just as tender and delicious as more expensive pieces. I actually gave this item to my Mom and purchased another (the 45 knife, also by Jaccard - and it also comes apart for cleaning) when it sent on sale. I have to say, we are two customers very pleased with Jaccard and their meat tenderizers.

Amazon's description says Made in USA, and they may still have some older ones in stock, but I'm not risking having to return it. I went to the store to buy this tenderizer, and Jaccard has moved it's factory to China. I'm going to order Deni Meat Tenderizer instead. Deni's factory is in Italy. I'm sad I'm not able to help the American factory worker, but at least I'm almost sure it is not made in a sweatshop, and by buying the Deni brand I'm slightly punishing Jaccard for laying off their American factory workers.

This tool is advertised as being made in USA. It is not. I bought it as a gift for a person that will not use/buy items made in China. On the package it says both made in USA and made in China. I called the factory, I had to call several times before I could speak to someone. They told me they had not been made in the USA in years. What a waste of time. Amazon--please label this item correctly.
