Meat Tenderizer Tool

A meat tenderizer is also known as a meat mallet, and is a product used for tenderizing slabs of meat in preparation for cooking the meat. Generally, it looks like a hammer with rows of small pyramid spikes on the ends. Tenderizing the meat with the mallet softens the fibers making the meat easier to chew. It is useful when preparing steak that is of low quality, and works well when broiling or frying the meat.
