HIC Kitchen’s Soft-Grip Meat Tenderizer tenderizes tougher cuts of meat and creates a uniform thickness that cooks evenly. Its soft-grip silicone handle offers a comfortable non-slip grip. Tenderizing meat helps elevate otherwise tougher cuts to a higher culinary standard. For best results, work with chilled cuts of meat. Before tenderizing, always place a cutting board under the meat to protect countertops. Use the plain head to flatten tender meat into cutlets and the toothed head to break up tough meat fibers. Strike the cut with a firm pressure, working thicker areas more and thinner areas less. Be careful not to break all the way through the meat.
