Electric Meat Tenderizer

An electric meat tenderizer can do wonders for meat and poultry not to mention wild game of different varieties. By making two passes through a commercial meat tenderizer even the toughest cuts will cook properly. Tenderizing meat, however, is not the only advantage to using one of these machines.

A 30 blade meat tenderizer makes short work of chops, steaks and chicken breasts in large quantities. There are many different models available and it is fairly standard thinking that the more blades in a machine, the quicker the operation, sometimes only requiring one pass. The average machine however should be used with two passes to insure complete penetration and tenderizing.

While an electric meat tenderizer is normally found only in commercial applications such as restaurants or grocery meat departments, many homes may find it quite helpful to have access to one. The use of a tenderizer will speed cooking time of most meats and poultry up to 40% faster than if simply cooked. This process also assists the meats in cooking much more evenly throughout and insures full infusion of any marinade or rub.

For those that only occasionally need an electric meat tenderizer, there are many different styles of hand meat tenderizers available. These range for counter top crank models to small hand-held ones. The Deni meat tenderizer is one of the more recognized of the hand held models along with manufacturers such as Jaccard and LEM.

The Deni tenderizers come in both 15 and 45 blade model and are quite simple to operate and the ergonomic handle will insure a lifetime of comfortable use. By placing the meat on a cutting board and simply pressing the tenderizer down, the meat is then tenderized and ready for your favorite marinade or dry rub. Clean up is a snap as these are dishwasher safe and come with a limited lifetime warranty.
