GORILLA GRIPPatented Dual-Sided Meat Tenderizer, Heavy Duty Kitchen Mallet with Soft Handle, Spiked Side Tenderizes and Smooth Flattens, Maximize Food Flavor, Commercial Grade Chicken Pounder, Black

Pounding chicken into “Milianese” style cutlets requires using both the textured and smooth side of the mallet. This mallet work exceptionally well. The textured side breaks up the meat fibers, causing the meat to become tender, and the flat side levels out the meat to make it nicely thin, ready to be coated and fried to perfection

I get satisfaction from using this to flatten out my chicken, nice and sturdy and feels like quality.

We recently remodeled our kitchen and when we put our old meat tenderizer in the dishwasher it. tarnished so I went on line and found this one. It's dishwasher safe and sturdy. The red handle matches several items in our kitchen that have red handles. The only thing is our old one had smaller groves on one of the sides where this one is flat on one side. I'm thinking the flat will be fine. It's plenty heavy too.

Dishwasher safe. Does a good job, Nice handle

This was a fair price, and very good qaulity I might add. I've used it so far to break up ice, might see how well it does on meat. Pretty easy to clean, but gotta be careful bringing it down.

Arrived in time, well packaged. This hammer is exactly what I was looking for. Looks good, solid, not too light, not too heavy. The meats I am cooking tell me when they see it: Hit me please!Thank you, Amazon

Nicely designed hefty hammer

Flattening breast to 1/4 - 1/2 inch, and then sauteing 3 min on each side at about 320 degrees, in oil, is a new cooking method I have not done before, and could not have done without this tool. It works!! My chicken breasts, evened out and expanded, all while being tenderized with the stainless steel spikes in the hammer head. A smooth surface on the other side of hammer head to tenderize less and to smooth the surface of the meat. The covering on the handle makes for a softer, secure grip. After flattening the breasts, I coated them in flour and then into a bowl with my choice of spice. Delicious.
