Customer Rating:      Summary: Meat tenderizer Comment: I love my tenderizer and am sure that the ones I give for Christmas will be loved too.
Customer Rating:      Summary: WORKS WELL Comment: THIS TENDERIZER WORKS WELL. EVEN IF THE BLADES DO NOT EASILY DISASSEMBLE, I DID NOT FIND IT HARD TO CLEAN.
IT WAS A VERY GOOD PRICE, OTHER SIMILAR ITEMS COST MORE.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great kitchen gadget Comment: We Texans love our chicken fried steak, and this handy kitchen gadget will tenderize round steak to perfection, the first step in achieving culinary nirvana of the chicken fried steak type.
It's also quite useful when used to pierce meat in preparation for marinating. Don't go overboard with the piercing, you don't want to pulverize the meat.
Easy to use, doesn't require great strength. Easy to clean.
I have one, and have purchased two as gifts, and both recipients have expressed their delight.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Very effective & easy to sterilize Comment: This is a surprisingly heavy-duty meat tenderizer. Slam roasts and thick steaks as hard as you like, you won't hurt it.
What everyone seems to object to is the fact that you cannot take it apart to expose the blades for individual cleaning. Frankly, it's probably an excellent idea that people cannot get at the individual blades. As sharp as those blades are I can just imagine everyone complaining about how they cut themselves to shreds if they could get at the blades....
Look, here's what you do... Wash the tenderizer off in hot water, or soak it if you want in hot soapy water. Rinse it off. The key is this: the storage recepticle that you put the blade/handle assembly is perfect for you to pour alcohol into. Yes, pure rubbing alcohol. And you don't even have to put more than about six ounces of alcohol into it. Then you simply replace the blade/handle assembly into it, and store it, in the alcohol.
When you get ready to use the tenderizer again, just take it out of the receptible, pour the alcohol out, rinse the blade/handle assembly off, and start tenderizing. I've done this around forty times and I haven't gotten food poisoning yet!
