Good Eats Rule December 3, 2008 Ben K I bought this after watching a show called Good Eats...Alton showed how to make country fried steak ...being someone who wanted to take round steak and make it tender...it worked...my wife loved my cooking and the round steak was fork tender...needless to say it was a good day for me ...when you make your wife happy ...everybody is happy...ha ha ...seriously it works and does what it says it will do ...I use it now on all meat ...except meat with bones ...do not wish to mess up the tool...I love my tool as I can buy cheaper cuts of meat and make them sirloin tender...
Excellent for tough meat December 1, 2008 Clyde I heard about this from Good Eats years ago, but never got around to getting it. Now that I finally have, I'm very happy. It works great with tough meats, particularly if braising is the method of cooking. It won't completely cut down the long stringy fibers in some cuts of meat, but it helps. Of course, cutting those meats smaller across the grain is very good too. In short, this is the very best tool I've found for dealing with tough meats. It cuts a lot of that connective tissue that long, slow cooking will finish off into nice tender meat. It also helps meats that are going to be cooked faster too, like grilling or frying. Highly recommend!
Thanks for the tip, Alton Brown November 28, 2008 Cassandra Byrd (Phoenix, AZ USA) We, too, bought this on Alton Brown's (Good Eats) recommendation. What a score. I agree that it's well made, durable, and I love that all parts are dishwasher safe! I bet I never buy another meat tenderizer again. I recommend this to all my friends. Two thumbs up!
I am glad I got it. November 23, 2008 G. Fairchild I too purchased this because of Alton Brown's show on The Food Network. I have found it to be a solid product (unlike most items these days). It is sharp and the stainless steel blades make it a snap to keep clean. If you, like myself, love to cook, then buy this product, it is the best meat tenderizer you will find, bar none.
Awesome.... November 19, 2008 Apichat Klychang (Chapel Hill, NC) The feel of this product is really solid. Might have trouble cleaning it because the blade is not removable like the more expensive models.
