A reliable meat tenderiser helps break down tougher cuts, flatten fillets for even cooking, and lock in flavour before marinating. Great for preparing schnitzels, steaks, or chicken, a sturdy meat mallet gives you full control without straining your wrist. Compact and easy to store, it’s a simple tool with big impact in the kitchen.
The OXO Good Grips meat hammer features a double-sided design, with a textured side for tenderising and a flat side for pounding. This classic meat pounder is perfect when paired with a quality potato masher for homemade schnitzel and mash night, or a sharp vegetable peeler for prepping roast sides with ease. Planning to marinate after tenderising? Pair your prep with silicone food storage bags for a leakproof, mess-free marinade session.
Use the textured side of your tenderiser tool to soften fibrous meat, then flip to the flat side to thin it out evenly. A quick pound helps sauces soak in better and reduces cook time, especially on the grill. Want a smoother workflow? Explore more kitchen utensils and gadgets to build a well-rounded prep setup.
