What does a meat mallet do?
People also ask, are meat tenderizers worth it?
The hammer-style Meat Tenderizer has a flat side perfect for pounding meat flat (think: chicken parmesan and veal cutlets) and a textured side for tougher cuts. A more juicy, flavorful piece of meat. So, yes, it's worth it.
Thereof, does pounding chicken make it more tender?
Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness before cooking them. If you don't pound them out, some breasts will cook faster than others, leaving the thinner breasts dried out, while the thicker ones can be undercooked. Pounding also tenderizes the meat, making the cooked result more tender.
Just add a tablespoon or two of white vinegar to your cooking liquids and your roasts, stew meats, and steaks will come out tender and juicy every time. Another option is to pierce your meat all over with a fork and then soak it in vinegar for an hour or two before you cook it.
