Title: but I was never happy with any of them
Review: I tried several similar tools for pounding out meat in the kitchen, but I was never happy with any of them. Then I found this AWESOME Mallet for the Kitchen.It is balanced well, just the right weight, and made with quality!.This is the second mallet like this I have purchased, but my first purchase from Cave Tools. The first one I bought cost me more than $30 and was branded "London Kitchen". The one I bought from Cave Tools is identical in every way but cost just $15.99. At that price, I was sure that the mallet would be different than the version from London Kitchen, so I only bought one from Cave Tools, but when I got the Cave Tools mallet, I could see that it was the same. Great tool, Great price!Today I bought two more to give to my Chef School Instructors (I'm in culinary school), both of whom loved mine when I showed it to them.And, today (May 10, 2017) I bought another two to give to two colleagues that admired mine.I LOVE these things!!!

Title: Easy to use and works great!
Review: For years, I have used a wooden mallet or a rolling pin. Now, I wonder why I did not buy this earlier. I first used it on thick chicken breast and it took a very short time to pound them and even out the thickness. I may be giving this later as Christmas presents!

Title: Once I used this, I got rid of my old mallet.
Review: It was time--it was old, and terribly discolored. In fact, I think it was older than I am, since my mother passed it along to me.This is a good kitchen necessity. I like that it has the option of a flat side and a nubby side. I like the weight, and the handle provides a good grip. And best of all, it's SO shiny compared to my old aluminum mallet. I wish that the nubs were just a tad bigger, but I can live with it. I'm a little disappointed that it is seamed where the flat and nubby sides meet the main head, as I worry about food hiding in the seam. However, it being dishwasher safe alleviates that concern to some extent.I'm happy with it. In fact, I may buy another one as a gift so that I don't have to "pass it along"......

Title: Finally a perfect meat tenderizer mallet
Review: Absolutely perfect! I'm 81 years old and have had several meat mallets over the years and overall they were always ok but far from perfect.From the moment I opened the package and saw it and then picked it up I knew immediately that It is a true five star product. I love it!To start with it is beautiful and the way it is constructed is just perfect. The weight being in the head makes it so easy to use, and being stainless steel so it can go into the dishwasher means I never have to worry about it not being bacteria free. It feels just right in my hand and pounded the chicken breast I used it on perfectly with ease. A truly great product in my opinion.

Title: Tall, dark and handsome
Review: When you read that headline, you thought I was talking about the man of your dream. Well, I'm talking about this sleek, sexy and strong kitchen tool: Cave Tools Meat Tenderizer Mallet. Boasting a silicone grip handle, stainless steel shaft and a two sided head (smooth side to flatten meat and pyramid side to break down muscle tissue) this Meat tenderizer is the kitchen tool of your dreams. Pound that fillet tender with the smooth side. Pound that clove of garlic until it mince. Crush that cube of ice until it gives away in a slushy abyss. Great for getting a little aggression out 😉This multipurpose tool is a must have for any kitchen. It can be used for beef, pork, chicken, veal and seafood. I purchased large rocks of Himalayan salt (it's less expensive that way) and crushed it to a fine grain. Think outside the box with this mallet. Perfectly weighted for ease of use. Put this tall, dark and handsome tool (no pun intended) to work for you.I work very hard to give thoughtful, honest and sometimes humorous reviews. Some full price, some discounted, and some free. If you found this to be at all helpful, please give me a "yes" to know that I'm on the right path. If you found error, or see something to be improved, please leave feedback in a comment so that I can work to better my reviews! Your help and honesty is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time, and happy cooking.

Title: Does a good job. Easy to clean, easy to use
Review: My meat tenderizer was an antique (relic) passed down from my mother decades ago. It was bulky and a pain to handle and store.I ordered this one after carefully reading the reviews left for it, as well as other models by other MFGs.I took a chance and I am happy with it. It doesn't tear your meat up. I use mine to tenderize chicken breasts. The chicken sold these days is awful! It must be due to what they feed them to make them grow rapidly. In any case, even marinated, the chicken is too tough. So, I beat it with the meat mallet by Cave Tools and we can chew it. It does a good job with out ripping the meat apart. Easy to use and easy to clean.

Title: It is light enough to be used by anyone - but does a much better job of tenderizing the meat to an even thickness
Review: We have had 3 different mallets before this, usually they were a combination of wood with metal faces on the mallet. All cracked in time (And were not washed in the dishwasher). The ones that had metal faces were so sharp that the cut through the plastic wrap or wax paper. This mallet - from Cave Tools - is unlike any I have seen. It is light enough to be used by anyone - but does a much better job of tenderizing the meat to an even thickness. The ridged in lacks sharp edges so that the plastic you put on top of the meat remains intact - so there is no mess to clean up. I don't imagine we will ever have to replace this tool, and like it well enough that we plan on buying some as gifts in the future.

Title: Very high quality for a very reasonable price
Review: Likes: Made with high quality stainless steel with excellent craftsmanship. For this quality, I would have expected a much higher price. I have had aluminum mallets which turn mottled gray if they ever go in the dishwasher, and a plated mallet which I had to discard after a few months when the plating started to appear in the meat I was tenderizing, as little specs. This mallet cost about 5 bucks more, and it is solid stainless with a comfortable grip. Heavy enough that the weight of the mallet head does the job. Well balanced.Dislikes: None. It's great.

Review: this tenderizer arrived before promised and was a great addition to my kitchen. It is so easy to use as it is well balanced and really pushes down the meat. It is also wonderful to be able to put it into the dishwasher to be sure that is is sterilized before storage. I love it...
