For cooks who demand nothing by the finest, most tender cuts of meat, then a meat tenderizer is a must. What these units do, basically, is make tough meat more manageable. If a recipe calls for marinating meat, a meat tenderizer can render the meat more able to soak in the juices and seasonings, making for a more flavorful meal.

One type of meat tenderizer is what is called a steak hammer, sometimes made out of cast aluminum. The units are used to flatten and tenderize. The effort needed to use these units is minimal at best, and the results in the meat, experienced after it has been cooked, are pleasantly obvious.

There are also meat tenderizers that not only tenderize and flatten, but also cube meat. These units typically consist of two flattening and tenderizing rollers that operate in opposite directions, ensuring that all cuts of meat to pass through the unit are adequately treated. Other models feature many stainless steel blades that provide some of the same functionality of professional electric tenderizers used in meat shops. They also tend to come with clamps that facilitate mounting on virtually any flat surface, ensuring that users can do their meat tenderizing at the table, counter or anywhere else they choose.
