Meat Tenderizer Tool Stainless Steel Needle Ultra Sharp 24 Blades Meat softener, Meat tenderizer tool for Tenderizing and Cooking BBQ, Marinade, Steak, Beef, Veal Pork and Poultry(White)

I try my best not to knock things I get, when doing reviews. And I will attempt to do just that, with this tenderizer.First off, this item is VERY inexpensive. And as such, the expectation of its level of quality, can't be too high. The base of the unit, where it rests on the meat, is very thin and a bit too flexible. There is a high probability that it will break, after little use.Secondly, the metal blades are not particularly sharp, or well made. But again, considering the price, not much more could be expected. Also, the spring mechanism inside the handle, is not great. It catches within itself, on both push, and release.Third, and probably most significant, it would be VERY difficult to thoroughly clean this tenderizer. Meat tends to stick to everything, and it gets wedged into every nook and cranny. There is no way to disassemble the device, for a proper cleaning, so it is likely to have decaying meat SOMEWHERE within its structure. Not a very pleasant thought.By nature, meat tenderizers, even EXPENSIVE tenderizers, are a pain to clean. This one is INEXPENSIVE, and a pain to clean. The difference with the expensive units, is that they can be disassembled for cleaning. It would be hard to recommend this item, UNLESS you truly need a tenderizer, and you are on a very tight budget.

After getting some tough steaks lately this tool is going to come in handy. It has 24 sharp knives that are protected in a metal guard. It is stainless steel so no worries about it rusting. It’s easy to hold in your hand and will make nice even pokes in the steak. This will help break down the fat.
