MEAT HAMMER TENDERIZER

MISCELLANEOUS

A meat hammer tenderizer, also known as a meat mallet or tenderizing mallet, is a handy kitchen tool designed to break down tough muscle fibres in meat, making it more tender and flavourful. It's commonly used in both home kitchens and professional food preparation settings.

 

Uses of a Meat Hammer Tenderizer

Tenderizing Meat:

    • Breaks down tough fibres in beef, pork, chicken, lamb, or veal, making them easier to chew and cook.

Flattening Meat:

    • Ideal for creating uniformly thin cuts of meat (e.g., chicken cutlets, schnitzel, or veal scaloppini) for even cooking.

Infusing Flavour:

    • Prepares meat for marinades by creating small indentations that allow seasonings or marinades to penetrate deeper into the meat.

Breaking Down Food:

    • Can be used to crush nuts, garlic, or spices in a pinch, making it a versatile kitchen tool.

Food Presentation:

    • Helps create professional-looking dishes with evenly shaped and sized meat portions.
