JY COOKMENT Meat Tenderizer with 48 Stainless Steel Ultra Sharp Needle Blades, Kitchen Cooking Tool Best for Tenderizing, BBQ, Marinade

I am not sure how I survived without this thing! I have owned a standard “hammer” tenderizer and got rid of it because it never worked like I wanted. Enter this little device. It cleans easily, works smoothly and does an excellent job of tenderizing without just tearing up the meat. I used this on some HUGE chicken breasts I got and it worked well to help them cook evenly and much faster than I anticipated. With meat prices the way they are, I will now be able to save with some cheaper cuts without dealing with difficult cutting and chewing. I look forward to using this to help with marinades as well. Buy it!

This works exceptionally well and is easy to handle. It can be used to tenderize all meats. The best function is to allow excellent absorption of a marinade. For example, used on a rack of lamb, the minimum marinade time is cut in half! For cleaning, I sponge it with hot water and a small amount of dish detergent, then I run it through the dishwasher. The result is a perfectly clean, odor free kitchen tool.

It works very well

The case broke within the first week but the tenderizer itself is great I always wash it in the top rack of the dishwasher to make sure it's clean in between uses

I had one similar, but smaller to this one and I broke it. I didn't understand it didn't come apart. This one does for cleaning. Works super good! Sharp, effective and easy to work. Can solidly recommend it. Having said all of this, I never hesitate to update my reviews should new info seem useful.

This tenderizer was recommended to me by my local cattle farmer. It works so great for every type of meat! My chicken breasts are always juicy and tender and steaks come out perfect every time! Even pork chops don’t toughen up! BUT IT! You’ll be impressed!

This product was a life saver. It's so much easier to work with. It cuts smoothly in the meat. It easy to clean and handle.

I bought this to try to tenderize some of the cuts of meat I eat which I felt were not as tender as could be. I recently used this on a pork steak and the results were great. Each bite was very tender. While a pork steak is generally fairly tender to begin with, not all parts are and this worked like a charm. I am going to try to it on other meats such as chuck roast (pot roast) prior to brazing and skirt steak. I imagine it will work great on those meats as it did on my pork steaks. I bought the regular and the size is fairly large. Not sure if the bigger size is necessary. This has a solid feel, not cheap made and the needles go into the meat with a little effort. You can see the hundreds of holes in the meat. I was worried about cleanup with flecks of meat getting intertwined in the needles. I simply carefully depress the plastic guide to expose the needles than rinse then place into dishwater top rack. Works fine. There are a few good video reviews on line, one in particular where a chef uses this type of tenderizer on several cuts of meat and is impressed with the results. Happy with this purchase and would place this into the category of "wish I would have bought this sooner."
