Don't Settle (if you can avoid it)
By Lydia E. York
Yes, this is the most expensive piece of stainless steel I have ever purchased. On a pound for pound basis, maybe not. This is three (3) pounds of meat flattening stainless steel. I say again three pounds! My heaviest non cast-iron skillet doesn't weigh as much.I've added resistance exercises to my workout to target my forearms so that I can more accurately wield this efficient "tenderizer." Nothing fails to become the thickness desired. Actually I have to be careful not to pound my chicken cutlets into ground chicken.It's hard to tell from the pictures, but the useable area is about the size of most chicken breasts. One needs only 2-3 strokes to pound out a cutlet to ½ inch or less. One or two more strokes usually gets you to ¼ inch. I am more likely to get uniform thickness throughout the cutlet.I don't wear myself out making sure the plastic wrap (waxed paper will tear after the first stroke; trust me, I know) doesn't shift or the meat doesn't slide around or the wrap hasn't torn from repeated strokes. I don't have a fat end and a thin end of the cutlet. This isn't one and done, but three and done is pretty close.There are less expensive tenderizers out there that are very good. But, the usable surface is smaller and they often weigh less than half of what this weighs. You will achieve the same result, but with many more strokes. You must use much more force on each stroke to get the meat to the desired thickness with the added potential for shreading or tearing the meat.This is not a "must have" tool. But, you will never regret owning it.
