Jaccard Tendermatic Meat Tenderizer 48 Blade Purchased this tool in May 2008 and have used it on Steaks, Roasts & Chicken. The ease of use along with the outstanding results are mind-baffling. Having seen it on the Emiril TV show, (highly recommended I might add) I thought it *might* be useful. Well, it's outdone itself in my opinion and now, I see Amazon has it at a lower price than I paid in May!
Every steak aficionado out there owes it to themselves to have one of these!
Rating: - Yup, it works
You might think this sort of kitchen gadget is all hype and doesn't really work. I read the reviews and took the plunge, but I was still skeptical. The first thing I did was to eat a piece of broiled flank steak like it was hamburger, literally fork tender. Everyone should have one of these things, especially for summer grilling.

This makes tenderizing meat SO MUCH EASIER! Used to use a fork and have to hold down the meat with a knife or something. With all the blades and the spring action this makes the job easy and clean up is fast and simple too.
We first saw something like this on YouTube when we saw the "Texas Country Reporter" feature on "Chicken Fried Bacon" ([...]) and when they were talking about the stakehouse's steaks, we saw the kitchen staff using a tenderizer a lot like this. My wife searched on line until she found what appears to be the best one... and this one is VERY GOOD!

This meat tenderizer is fantastic! I buy grassfed and finished beef straight from the farm which requires a little bit different cooking method, and my roasts and steaks are so tender I CAN BUY THE LESSER CUT AND STILL HAVE MORE TENDERNESS THAN THE MORE EXPENSIVE ONES! So, not only does it save you cooking time, IT SAVES YOU MONEY! It is also sooooo much healthier than using that "poison," MSG, to tenderize meats. This was a purchase I made on a whim, and I am really, really happy with it! If you like tender meat, try it. You won't be disappointed!

This is the best and cheapest tool I've ever found for tenderizing briskits and skirt meats that your're going to brine or marinate. It also works well with rubs. I don't recomend it for good steaks.
