Meat Pounder

I love my meat pounder! After years of having my wooden meat tenderizer heads fly across the room after totally ripping apart chicken breasts, it was time to go shopping. I bought this baby 5 years ago (Price back then was only $19.99, which was on my way upper end for a tool I only occasionally use). The sucker is heavy but it does a wonderful job of flattening and tenderizing meat without ripping it to shreds. I wouldn’t pay the current price of $35 (Amazon) but if you shop Amazon on a regular basis (my home away from home), they have some pretty good sales and I’ve gotten in the habit of placing items like this in my shopping cart and just waiting for that moment.
