• Pounding and flattening steaks, chops and cutlets

Key specifications

• Material: Cromargan® stainless steel 18/10
• Design: hammer-style meat tenderizer with textured and flat faces
• Total length: 400 mm
• Finish: metallic, corrosion-resistant surface

How to use

Place the meat on a stable cutting board or between sheets of food-safe film or parchment to prevent splatter. Use the textured face for initial pounding to break down fibers and connective tissue, then switch to the flat face to even out thickness. Work from the center outward with controlled, even strikes until the desired thickness and texture are achieved. Rinse or wash the tenderizer after use and follow dishwasher instructions if using a machine washer.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the tenderizer in combination with a meat resting period and appropriate marinades. Keep the tool clean and dry when storing; avoid prolonged contact with acidic ingredients to preserve the stainless surface. When working with very thin cuts, apply lighter taps to avoid tearing the meat.
