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!

Super lightweight. Quality made. Ease of functionality. Sticks meat without tearing it up

I love this meat tenderizer! I was tired of using the old mallet-style tenderizer that would splatter mess everywhere. This one is completely mess-free and makes the process so much cleaner and easier. It also helps the meat soak up marinades really well, enhancing flavor. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a simple, effective, and clean way to tenderize meat!

I read many reviews about how sharp the needle are, and they are! Be very careful using this device and even more careful cleaning it. I had bought 4 T-Bone steaks, cooked two of them and they were so tough I couldn't eat them. I saved the other two and cooked them this past weekend. I used the tenderizer on both sides for about 4 minutes, seasoned them and cooked the same way as I did before. The meat was so very tender. This product works. But be careful cleaning it, I ended up with a couple of bloody finger tips. I don't like the hollow handle, water gets inside and I worry about mildew growing inside. I left it out a couple of days in different positions to make sure all the water drained out and it was completely dry. I wish they would make this with a solid plastic handle.

Works great, easy to use, easy to clean, easy to store, makes quick work of deer, elk, chicken, pork, and beef!

This works much better than I ever imagined it would. Easy to use, it works. Get it.

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."

This definitely tenderizes meat but it makes a pancake out it in the process. There are springs that retract a cover over the sharp blades and I don't understand why the springs are so stiff. As you push the device down on the meat the blade cover slides up to the main body as the blades pierce the meat. Then the springs retract the cover when you pull the blades out of the meat. The springs could be half again softer and still get the job done without making my dinner into a pancake.
