HIC Kitchen Meat Tenderizer Ice Cracker Marinating Prep Tool, Double-Sided, Heavyweight Aluminum, 8.5-Inches, Ideal for Tougher Cuts, Nonporous, Hand Wash

Description

HIC’s Meat Tenderizer and Ice Crusher, with a dual-toothed surface, is
specially designed to cut into the muscle fibers of tougher cuts of meat and
break them down for a more tender and more consistent texture. This must-have
of cooking supplies also cracks ice cubes or block ice into smaller pieces to
chill drinks faster and keep foods cold longer, like clams on the half shell,
peel and eat shrimp, macaroni or potato salad, condiments, and more. It’s well
balanced for efficient use. Tenderizing meat helps elevate otherwise tougher
cuts to a higher culinary standard. For best results, trim away excess fat and
place meat in the freezer for about 30-minutes to chill, but not long enough
to freeze. Chilled cuts work best. Before tenderizing, always place a cutting
board under the meat to protect countertops. With a firm pressure, strike the
cut with the toothed surface of the mallet, working thicker areas more and
thinner areas less. Be careful not to break all the way through the meat. Flip
the cut over and work the opposite side. Great for chicken, flank steak, eye
round, skirt steak, even cooking rabbit meat and other wild game. Make even
more tender braciole, chicken fried steak, cordon bleu, and weinerschnitzel.
Always tenderize before adding a marinade or using other special cooking
techniques, like brining. Made from heavyweight aluminum, HIC’s Meat
Tenderizer and Ice Crusher is durable and strong with a rippled handle for
secure grip. Hand wash in warm, soapy water.
