Beechwood Meat Tenderizer

Our Meat Tenderizer features a durable beechwood knob handle and stainless steel tenderizing head resulting in meats that are not only more tender but also absorb marinades, seasonings, and breading more effectively. Smaller than it's mallet counterpart, this one fits in the utensil drawer.

With a bit of creativity, your meat tenderizer can become a versatile tool in the kitchen for various culinary tasks beyond just tenderizing meat. Here's a few ideas to make this your favorite tool you didn't know you needed:

1. Crushing Spices: Use the tenderizer to crush whole spices like peppercorns, coriander seeds, or cloves to release their flavors before adding them to your dishes.
   

2. Smashing Garlic: Instead of using a knife or garlic press, gently smash garlic cloves with the tenderizer to easily remove the skins and release flavors.

3. Cracking Nuts: Use the meat tenderizer to crack open nuts like walnuts or pecans without needing a dedicated nutcracker.

4. Crushing Crackers or Cookies: Crush graham crackers, cookies, or crackers to make crumbs for pie crusts, toppings, or breading.

5. Crushing Ice: Need crushed ice for cocktails or blended drinks? A meat tenderizer can effectively crush ice cubes into smaller pieces.
