Meat Tenderizer Tool, Ultra Sharp Needle Blades 100% Stainless-Steel, Heavy-Duty Kitchen Gadgets, Hand Held Meat Tenderizer Needle Tool, Cooking Gadget for Tenderizing Chicken, Steak, Veal, BBQ

This the second Gourmet Easy product I have bought on Amazon. The first was a garlic mincer which blows away any other garlic mincer I've ever owned. Same with this meat tenderizer. It's all stainless steel and built to last a lifetime. I tried it on a thick chuck roast and poked both sides. Each poke sends sixty razor sharp blades into the meat. I did both sides and tossed it on the grill like a steak. Cooked medium rare and all the tough tendons were severed for a delightfully tender steak. The little holes also allow you to marinate the meat or let your rub get into the middle of the meat. The price is more but cheap tools suck. Buy it once, hurt once. That's my motto.

Works incredible well and easy to clean.

I was first introduced to this type of tenderizer about a year ago and bought on here on Amazon. Loved it, but after a year of use it showed that I needed something sturdier. This new one certainly filled the ticket.I like the all-stainless steel, no plastic parts. Self contained, no screws or seams to deal with. Just a good soak in some soapy water and a quick scrub with a brush to clean. The feel in the hand could benefit by being about 1 " longer for big hands and a sure-grip, but I found that using two hands gave better control of the pressure anyway. I am confident that this product will last a long time and keep me pleased with the food prep qualities. Note: there is a 5 year warranty on this product. You can't beat that !! And, you will be amazed at how this tenderizer can turn a cheap cut of mean ( chicken, pork, beef) into an amazing meal.

This is perfect for the cheap, dense, and toughest cuts of meat (mainly beef). U can use this for any meat and create pockets for marinade to set in before you cook. Everyone should have one of these but I wish it come with a tool to clean in between the blades as well as be able to lock the blades extended for easier cleaning.

I have had this type of tenderizer before, and love the results. The plastic handle will eventually break down, and the unit won’t work, I got this because I don’t want to keep replacing it. What I was superbly is how much easier this one is on my hands the amount of pressure or effort is the same, but this one does not hurt my hands!Highly recommend

I had one of these years ago and it was great but got lost in a move. That one had a plastic handle, this one is all mirror-like stainless steel. Looks and feels fantastic.I was worried this might be hard to clean so got one of those meat mallets first. It was fine for flatting meat with either side but unfortunately, that's all the spiked side did. The spikes were not sharp or long enough to really tenderize meat. This tenderizer has very sharp, long blades that go all the way through, they are much closer together than the spikes on the mallet so do a great job of tenderizing. It flattens the meat at the same time and also if I apply dry rub before using it, pushes the spices deep into the meat.It seems to clean up well by holding it under running hot water and then soaking it for a while in hot, soapy water.

I was preparing a 5 lbs beef round by cutting into 2” sections, marinade 12 hours, cut into 1/4”. Before marinade, I used the needle tool on each 2” section, to guarantee that the marinade had a chance to penetrate. After drying the 1/4” slices into beef jerky, I realized that I had forgotten to use the tenderizing hammer on them, but the final product was still very good !! So the use of this needle tool saved me a lot of time. Recommend.

Great product, it does the job!
