Meat hammer ?

[Cycledude]

The one I am talking about is not a hammer, look up meat tenderizing tool on Amazon , I bought the one that has a rounded handle for $8.99, but any of that style will work wonders.

Amazon.com

There are a few different outfits making the meat hammers or tenderizers. Other than being made of stainless steel or aluminum they appear to be pretty much the same tool but the stainless steel ones are heavier and cost about three times as much.
Edit
Looks like there actually is a stainless steel one available for only $7 !

Amazon.com

There are definitely times where I wish I had one, this thread has reminded me of that. Maybe it is time to pull the trigger and get one.

If I was smart enough I would post the link from Amazon but I'm not, but it is not a hammer and it does a much better job IMHO. I may try to take a picture.

Seen them used before on real tough cuts of meat. Me, if its that tough, i aint eating it.

Perhaps you didn't come up during the Depression or during WWII. Those were hard days back then. Most of us were thrilled to be able to afford anything that even looked like meat. The 'meat hammer' was a staple tool in the kitchen.
Like you, however, in today's world - meat hammer... not allowed.

What about the 48 needle tenderizer above vs hammer...? Anybody try both and have an opinion on the results?

I have tried both and IMHO the needle tenderizer wins hands down, that's why I recommended it, but everyone likes something different.
