JY COOKMENTMeat Tenderizer with 48 Stainless Steel Ultra Sharp Needle Blades, Kitchen Cooking Tool Best for Tenderizing, BBQ, Marinade

I love this meat tenderizer! I was tired of using the old mallet-style tenderizer that would splatter mess everywhere. This one is completely mess-free and makes the process so much cleaner and easier. It also helps the meat soak up marinades really well, enhancing flavor. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a simple, effective, and clean way to tenderize meat!

This works much better than I ever imagined it would. Easy to use, it works. Get it.

I bought this to try to tenderize some of the cuts of meat I eat which I felt were not as tender as could be. I recently used this on a pork steak and the results were great. Each bite was very tender. While a pork steak is generally fairly tender to begin with, not all parts are and this worked like a charm. I am going to try to it on other meats such as chuck roast (pot roast) prior to brazing and skirt steak. I imagine it will work great on those meats as it did on my pork steaks.I bought the regular and the size is fairly large. Not sure if the bigger size is necessary. This has a solid feel, not cheap made and the needles go into the meat with a little effort. You can see the hundreds of holes in the meat. I was worried about cleanup with flecks of meat getting intertwined in the needles. I simply carefully depress the plastic guide to expose the needles than rinse then place into dishwater top rack. Works fine. There are a few good video reviews on line, one in particular where a chef uses this type of tenderizer on several cuts of meat and is impressed with the results.Happy with this purchase and would place this into the category of "wish I would have bought this sooner."

Does a good job and saves time.

We love this! It really makes the meat taste better after it is cooked. Easy to clean and we love the plastic cover for the blades. It is sharp and most meat tenderizers do not come with a cover for the blades and that is a big reason we chose this one. The handle is perfect for any size hands and to us ergonomic friendly. Another reason we chose this one. Great gift for birthdays, Father's Day or anytime. Happy Shopping!

Easy to use, Easier to clean! I use this to tenderize tougher cuts of meat and it hasn't let me down. It has stabbed into fresh and semi-frozen meat with ease.

People! It pays for itself!! Less than $20 for this thing?? After using it several times now, I can say I would have easily paid $100 for a tool this useful. It makes all the difference in the world. It gives an $8 steak the texture and taste of something you’d pay $60 for at a fancy restaurant. It just falls apart in your mouth 🤤 so you can buy cheaper cuts of meat but still have great quality meals. The savings = pays for itself.It almost feels like using a stapler. You just punch it down into the meat. I do it liberally on both sides of the cut. You can season before or after the hole-punching. I’ve tried both, and either way it turns out super tender and flavorful, even if you only have 20 minutes to marinate before cooking (like after work when you forgot to prepare the meat ahead of time.)Easy to hand wash if you have a cleaning brush, but we’ve put it in the dishwasher before too.I’m very very happy with my purchase and will be buying as stocking stuffers for other meat-lovers in my family! It’s a tool we use weekly at my house. My favorite Amazon purchase ever!

This definitely tenderizes meat but it makes a pancake out it in the process. There are springs that retract a cover over the sharp blades and I don't understand why the springs are so stiff. As you push the device down on the meat the blade cover slides up to the main body as the blades pierce the meat. Then the springs retract the cover when you pull the blades out of the meat. The springs could be half again softer and still get the job done without making my dinner into a pancake.
