Product Description

Amazon.com Review

If you're fond of thin cutlets or like your meat tender as butter, this meat tenderizer is the tool for the job--it's got a flat side for pounding and a textured side for tenderizing. This hammerlike gadget features one-piece aluminum construction for strength and durability. The large, comfortable handle is made of brushed stainless steel with rubber fins for comfort and will remain cool to the touch. It's also nonslip under wet or dry conditions. And the large hanging hole in the handle makes storage easy. This tool must be washed by hand. --Laurie Notaro

Product Description

An essential for scaloppini, the flat mallet end allows you to pound chicken breasts to a uniform thickness (which makes cooking faster and even). The end with points helps tenderize steak by breaking up some of the muscle fibers, this also allows your marinade to permeate. You may also employ this tool to crush nuts, ice, or Oreos for cheesecake crust.

4.0 out of 5 stars Typical OXO quality, but keep it out of the dishwasher, October 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: OXO Good Grips Meat Tenderizer (Kitchen)

We've got OXO everything, and for good reason. They're high quality, very stylish looking, and are comfortable to use. The meat tenderizer is no exception. Solidly built, great handle, perfect weight for hammering those filets thin or beating some of the toughness out of a steak.

We made the mistake of putting ours in the dishwasher. Big mistake. The shiny glossy metal got cloudy. This is too bad, because I like to wash anything that comes in contact with meat in the hottest water possible. But treat it like you would a good knife (wash it by hand) and you'll be fine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Meat Tenderizer, November 12, 2006

Very excellent product. A good weight to it for really tenderizing whatever meat you are preparing (chicken, steak, etc...) The two-sided mallot works well, where you can use the flat side on chicken so as not to make a mess, and the dimpled side does a great job on tougher meats like beef to really tender them up. I would highly recommend this item and given the choice I would definitely buy it again.

I used this for several years, and it is fine for what it is. I like the handle, but the head is a bit small, which can tear the meat.

I've since replaced it with the i-series version, which I like a lot better:
