5.0 out of 5 stars Best One Yet -- Better than the Rest, November 23, 2007

This review is from: Norpro Meat Veal Pounder (Kitchen)

We frequently pound chicken for our favorite recipes, which is why I was looking for the best meat pounder I could buy. My research led me to an old favorite, "Cook's Illustrated." They rated the Norpro Offset Meat Pounder the best of all the ones they tested. They liked the offset handle design, which relieved some of the tension on one's wrist.

I have to concur with "Cook's Illustrated." I have less wrist strain with the offset handle. The pounder has a good heft, and makes quick work of the meat. The disk is 3 and 3/4 inches in diameter. The overall length is 11 and 1/4 inches. My kitchen (spring) scales weight the Norpro at 1 lb. 10 ozs. The chrome surface is smooth, and could not be easier to clean. One only has to look at the photo to see how easy.

I almost did not buy this because of the price. However, we use our meat pounder a lot, and the Norpro Offset Pounder has been worth every penny to my wife and I.

Buy the best -- scream once.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Valuable Tool, May 17, 2008

If you are strong in culinary skills but weak of arm, this is for you. Perfect cutlets (veal, chicken, pork) are essential for perfect dishes (scallopini, piccata, medalions), and the Norpro meat pounder will let you achieve perfection every time.

I had another meat pounder that butchered the meat. The Norpro Meat Pounder gives me even and smooth results. I am very satisfied.
