Who Needs A Tenderizer? If you prepare meat on a regular basis you should have one of these little helpers in your kitchen arsenal and that goes double if you barbeque. Lets take chicken for example - if you like to marinade it overnight or use a dry rub - I can almost guarantee that if you use a tenderizer your finished product will absorb more of the marinade thus giving you a juicer piece of chicken. Now, if you use a dry rub you should really trim back the fat a little, give it a few whacks with the tenderizer then apply the dry rub. If not, you'll have the spices flying everywhere and trust me on this; it's not fun if you wear contact lenses. Dimensions: 9'' x 2'' x 2'' Weight: 11 oz.
