The weight alone of this meat pounder makes the job twice as easy. It's comfortable and easy to grip.

This is one helluva meat pounder. Nice grip and weight.
Cleans easily as it is all one piece with no seams.
Looks like it will last a very long time.

This is a pretty heavy meat pounder which makes working with it all the better. It looks great and is extremely easy to clean since its all one piece. The only thing I would change about it is that the sides are a little to verticle for my taste, it would be better if they sloped more thus reducing the chance of tearing.

I ordered this meat pounder 1-2 years ago and it still looks brand new (has been washed in the dish washer everytime). The 2.2 lbs weight makes flattening chicken breasts very quick. I don't like the pounders with "teeth" to tenderize because they tear the chicken or at least the papertowel I always place on top of the chicken before pounding it. It makes a good lid weight when cooking rice to make sure none of the steam escapes...and it's SO pretty. I think I only paid around $20.00 for it back then.

Heavy enough but not too heavy. I recommend placing the meat between sheets of clear plastic then spraying or sprinkling with water to allow the tenderizer to slide out as you strike.

I'm a retired Chef, but still have my hand in the kitchen. I had an old meat ponder that had a wooden handle on it; and was about 2 lb. I had it for years. The handle on it screwed into the plate. Well the screw broke. I looked around and found for a new one and couldn't find a heavy one. They where all 1 or 1 ¼ lbs. Then a friend told me to check on Amazon.com, I did and I found one that was 2 pounds. I ordered it and had it in a few days. And it's just what I needed and wanted. It works well and easy to keep clean.

I pounded out chicken breasts into cutlets and was amazed at the ease of the task and the control I had. I've used meat pounders before with a long horizontal handle and much prefer this design. I think it is a great purchase.

This is a finely crafted kitchen tool. I use it mostly to flatten chicken breasts for grilling. I found it works well for other cutlet preparation as well.

The construction is solid, with no groves or other surface breaks that can harbor bacteria. It is easy to clean.

Workmanship is such that it could be an object of art.

It's heavy enough that you let the tool do the job, you do not have to pound. You merely drop your hand. The ergonomics are great: Rather than a hammer style pounder, this is a device you grab with a fist and lower to the surface with a natural arm movement.

It is finely finished (rounded edges) so that the meat doesn't tear if the blow is a bit off axis. It is even pleasing to hold this pounder in one's hand. If you want a great kitchen tool for flattening meat, you won't be disappointed if you choose this one.

MIU 3600 meat pounder: perfect size, weight and balance with no sharp edges; and no place for bacteria to hide. I'm thoroughly pleased with this product.

This pounder is fantastic. I used it to evenly pound chicken for chicken breast coated in panko crumbs and they turned out wonderful. The pounder takes almost no effort to use and my family thought that I was the greatest cook ever. Love the product.
