Questions & Answers
Yes, you simply pound it until it reaches the desired thickness. There's nothing magical about it; it's just simple physics. It performs admirably. Especially if you're in a bad mood;
It's a shallow seam that's simple to keep clean. On the meat, I usually wrap it in saran wrap to keep it clean. I like how well it fits my hand and how evenly it is weighted.
This was a sarcastic question, in my opinion. To respond to the question, I do not believe that a "beginner size" exists. There are various sizes available. For me, this one is ideal. I don't use it all that often, but it's in my kitchen toolkit. When I butterfly chicken breasts, I mostly use it to flatten them out. For the task, I wouldn't want anything bigger. While I think I prefer the hammer, the handle on this one is much smaller and shorter, so it takes up less space in the drawer.
My work is excellent. Since you're pounding down with this rather than swinging, I'd be surprised if that happened.
Selected User Reviews For Norpro Grip-EZ Stainless Steel Meat Pounder
The ideal design for comfort and, most importantly, perfection. With this product, you'll have complete control; I used it once and found it very simple to flatten my chicken breast completely and evenly. It was smaller than I expected, but that was fine. You'll have to do a few more strokes than if you had something larger, but it's not a major issue. Mine arrived with a dent in the bottom flat part, which was not a big deal. br>Now, as you can see from the photos, it is clearly not a solid piece. The grip on the plastic handle is excellent, but it is made of a low-cost material. The metal disc is made up of two parts: one that is hollow and the other that is filled with iron. The iron filling isn't great because it bends a little all over the metal disc. Although there is a significant gap, I believe it is well sealed. Having said that, I would advise against purchasing this item if you intend to beat bare meat with it; I use a freezer bag and it works fine, but because of the gap, as well as the gap on the handle, this product would be extremely unsanitary, even if washed in the dishwasher. br>I like it, but the price is outrageous, considering how poorly it is constructed. We should be able to get a decent piece of metal for $20. This should be priced at the very least at $7.
My forty-year-old wife moved in with another man five months ago, and she took the hefty meat tenderizer I'd grown to love with her. It was perfect for making 'tornadoes,' a crowd-pleasing flank steak dish. I looked in Bed, Bath, and Beyond for another, but all they had were flimsy little hammers with cuboid projections that did the job. I wanted something with a lot of weight to it. I was looking for a bottomed tool and came across the Norpro tenderizer on Amazon. It is twenty pounds in weight. Like a framing hammer, it weighs a few ounces. This one has a good feel to it and does the job well. Five out of five stars.
It arrived in an old cardboard box, which was soft to the touch. spongy. There was only a small amount of air left in the bubble wrap. Pits were visible on the pounder's face. scratchings This is a condensed version of my first review, which was turned down by Amazon because it contained "obscene or vulgar language, even for adult products. " "I didn't say anything that was offensive. "Soft" cardboard, in my opinion, is a good description. Their oh-so-familiar oh-so-familiar oh-so-famili algorithms that are sophisticated My point is that I spent money on a new KITCHEN tool. I received a KITCHEN tool that was clearly not brand new.
Stainless steel and iron, according to the packaging. I'm not comfortable entrusting my food to this. Because of its density and lack of need for chrome, I chose a stainless pounder. This isn't chromed well at all. Chrome is a heavy metal that can cause neurological issues, and some types of chrome have been linked to cancer (as Erin Brokovich famously demonstrated). I have no idea what this is because it's made in China. Except for the chrome, it's perfect. I like how heavy it is, how it feels, and how big it is. I'm not going to use it. I took a picture after cleaning it with glass cleaner in the hopes of getting rid of any blemishes or contaminants. However, these are only flaws on the surface. Stainless steel/iron-based, according to the box's description. This is not what the listing says. What is the purpose of this? Cast iron, stainless steel, rocks, and pebbles are all options. what? I'm not allowing you to touch my food.
It is, however, used on a regular basis. It's fantastic at pounding chicken. It also helps to break up frozen fruits and vegetables in bags. My old hands were able to do this with little effort. This tool has made things a lot easier for me. I'm so happy I purchased it.
This product does not appeal to me; I should have known after seeing it on America's Test Kitchen. It is what it is, and it isn't going to change any time soon. a large, heavy, flat weight with a handle The problem is that there is no leverage, so it takes a lot of force to get things done - Your hand will be bruised as a result of this. You could just use your fist instead; I donated this one and replaced it with one with a longer handle that works much better.
After a lifetime of hammering, it's time to switch to a new tool. I'm almost disappointed that I've never heard of one of these before. It's well-balanced and has a large surface area on the pounding end, so it's quick and easy to flatten chicken and beef for cooking. It's a little more substantial than a standard hammer. I prefer it that way, though. When compared to the hammer, it is less taxing on my hands. The meat isn't torn up like it is with hammer-style mallets. When I used style mallets, they always did the same thing. This gadget has earned a permanent spot in my kitchen.
This was purchased so that I could make my own schnitzel at home. br>br>And this is the kind of tool you'll need if you want to completely flatten and thin some meat. The other type, with the long handle and small hammer head, I'm not sure what it's for besides taking up drawer space. But I'm getting ahead of myself. br>br>I wasn't sure if 24 oz would be enough weight. I'm big and strong, and after making schnitzel out of some steaks tonight, I think it's about right. It's still labor, but in the absence of a hydraulic press, it appears to be the best option.
