How to use

Place the meat on a clean, stable surface or cutting board and, if desired, cover it with food-safe plastic film to protect fibers and prevent splatter. Hold the Adler AD-451 firmly and apply even, moderate strikes across the meat surface, working from the center toward the edges until the desired thickness and tenderness are achieved. After use, wipe or rinse the tool according to its material and cleaning instructions, and dry thoroughly before storage.

Usage recommendations

For best results, tenderize meat that has been lightly chilled rather than fully frozen; use a protective sheet when flattening delicate cuts; follow safe food handling practices, including cleaning the tenderizer after contact with raw meat.
