I love cooking and trying out new recipes constantly, so I absolutely love gadgets that make the process easier.<\/p>\n

My latest acquisition is Oxo’s new Meat tenderiser<\/a>, which like any other OXO gadget, is well worth its money.<\/p>\n

Unlike the traditional meat tenderisers, that are designed like hammers with corrugated surfaces\u00a0for hammering the meat, this gadget has got 50 blades that pierce the meat and make tiny holes-\u00a0aiding the \u00a0flavourful juices to get fully absorbed into the meat or poultry.<\/p>\n

You might wonder, how safe is this? But do you notice the little lock on top? That prevents the blades from being accidentally pressed.<\/p>\n

Operating the Tenderiser is easy.\u00a0The contoured top\u00a0has a\u00a0non-slip grip\u00a0and you can comfortably \u00a0stamp the meat , and the clear base makes it easy to see the indent.. likeso<\/p>\n

Just 6-7 stamps and the pork steak was flattened to almost twice its size. So no more clingfilm, or banging.. This nifty gadget saves both time and energy.<\/p>\n

And check out its handy work.<\/p>\n

Tiny little holes that will absorb all the spices and seasonings, keep the meat tender and juicey, reduce marinating time as well as cooking time.<\/p>\n

I made these delicious Chinese Pork Steaks for my dinner.<\/p>\n

So if you’re in a hurry, this is the product to go for- no need to marinate for long hours or even overnight.<\/p>\n

The tenderiser\u00a0comes apart for easy cleaning and is top-rack dishwasher safe.<\/p>\n

This product retails at \u00a316 and can be bought from OXOUK<\/a>,\u00a0and Amazon UK<\/a>.<\/p>\n
