HIC Kitchen Wooden Meat Tenderizer Mallet Marinating Prep Tool, Double Sided, FSC-Certified Beechwood, 12.5-Inches

Love this meat, tenderizer mallet. It is just the right heaviness and love the magnetic function of switching which side you want to use. It is perfect for thinning out Chicken cutlets without the chicken juice flying everywhere! It is a great value for the money and I definitely recommend this product.

As expected. Weight feels right.

My hammer style tenderizer that this item replaced couldn't be washed in the dishwasher. This one is solid stainless and cleans up nicely with no oxidation, great product!

This thing is rock solid. It’s heavy and very well made. It’s so heavy it could be a boat anchor. But seriously, it’s extremely thick and easy to use. I bought it for the flat side so I could pound down my graham cracker cheesecake crust inside my springform pan. This tool made it incredibly easy and fast. I was able to get a uniform crust that held up very well. Martha uses one with her cheesecakes, so I bought one and I’m glad I did. Highly recommend.

My only complaint is that it must be taken apart to clean and it has a questionable plastic spacer between the base and handle.

I can already tell that the ergonomics are so much better than my old wooden meat hammer, which was a beotch to clean. The complaints about the spikes hitting your hand? I can see how that’s possible but it doesn’t seem like a real issue.Only two minor gripes:1) it should really ship with a couple extra plastic O-rings to isolate the handle and pounding surface. You can tell the one included will dry out and crack quickly. Or better yet, a silicone ring would last forever. I can see myself going to the hardware store down the line to try to fix this - and I wish I wouldn’t have to! The ring is pretty necessary to prevent nasty meat bacteria build up, as a spacer to keep the screw flush with the flat side, and it provides a wee bit of mechanical isolation to stave off carpal tunnel if you pound a lot of meat. Sorry for that last sentance but I’m standing by its accuracy.2) mine shipped IMPOSSIBLY TIGHT. I’m fairly strong and there’s no way I could separate the two pieces. My fix was first freezing it (metal contracts), which didn’t help at all, but when followed by running under hot water, it unscrewed with relative ease.I hope my ramblings can be helpful to others!Also v stoked to not pay Williams Sonoma prices for a top quality kitchen tool!

I've used this for tonkatsu and torikatsu (panko fried pork/chicken) and it's great. I placed the cuts of meat in a bag, and tamped them flat with this oddball-shape tenderizer before dredging and frying.Honestly, I was surprised at how quick the work was. You have to really feel for the tactility to ensure you're getting an even flat, but I think this tool makes it easier than most mallets I've used. Highly recommend. Hope it lasts a long time.

I originally I saw some reviews that said the teeth were to shallow, but I think the design was improved since then because this one is perfect!

La calidad y precio

love that it is all one metal piece - no handle to break off or wear out, it is one solid piece. Its smaller than you think however - but I have used it on chicken and it packs a punch. I hope I never have to buy another.

Me gustó para romper el hielo.

great

Muy bueno!
