Professional-style meat tenderizers from Jaccard are the finest we've seen. Press down on the spring-loaded handle, and razor-sharp blades slice through the connective tissue that causes meat to be tough. Meat prepared with a Jaccard tenderizer cooks more evenly and up to 40% faster and allows greater penetration for marinades and rubs. The blade cartridge lifts out for easy and complete cleaning in your dishwasher.
