Sportsman Meat Cuber Tenderizer

 Sportsman Meat Cuber Tenderizer.

If you are like me and enjoy not only eating beef or pork steaks but also making them, then you know what it is like to tenderize the steak at times. Often, I like to make minute steaks or a good old-fashioned country-fried steak. Because of this love, I received the gift of a Meat Cuber Tenderizer Sportsman series from a friend. He heard me pounding on the steaks with a meat hammer one afternoon getting ready to fry them up. He said it sounded like I was demolishing the kitchen,

Using the tenderizer is quite simple. You just clamp it to the side of your countertop till tight by hand. Attach the cover over the rollers. Then you attach the removable handle with the provided screw by hand. The Tenderizer is then ready to tenderize your steaks easily. Set up takes less than two minutes. With a few turns of the crank on the tenderizer each steak is ready for seasoning or cooking.

Cleaning is Simple.

Cleaning the Sportsman Meat Cuber Tenderizer is just as simple, especially when done right after using it. The plastic cover comes right off the tenderizer for you to clean or place in the dishwasher. The handle is removed as easily as you attached it. I have not put the metal parts in the dishwasher for fear that it may tarnish like aluminum pans do with the dishwashing soaps.

The hardest part that I found was cleaning the rollers. But with a spray nozzle, a sponge, and dish soap they came clean easily. I just ran the sponge between the rollers before removing the handle and this worked well. The whole cleaning process took only a couple of minutes.

The Benefits of the Tenderizer

The time I saved not hammering out the steaks for my family with a meat hammer was nice. One of the best benefits I have from this meat tenderizer is that it makes the beef easier for the older members of my family. One who has dentures and can't eat hard items. The other has a hard time cutting food with their hands now. It has been easier for everyone to cut up their steak.

There is also the benefit of tenderizing your thin steaks before marinating them. Such as when making a stir fry or fajitas. Tenderizing opens the grain in the meat allowing your marinate and seasonings to penetrate and flavor the steaks better making your own meal that much better. 

In conclusion

I really had my doubts about using this device and honestly, I felt a bit insulted when the gift arrived because I thought my friend did not think I did a good job on the stakes. Now I know, it was to save my countertop and cutting board as he put it.  

What he saved was my time and worry about my inlaws. While I may have to cut their meat up still I know it should not be hard for them to chew.
