Heavy duty spring action mechanism controls action. Hand washing recommended. Norpro was founded in 1973 with a vision to design, manufacture, and supply the highest caliber kitchenware. Norpro’s offering of innovative, high quality product for cooking, preparing and serving food are produced with superior materials and craftsmanship. This professional-grade tool, with stainless-steel prongs to break down tough meat fibers, provides controlled, uniform meat tenderizing. You can also use it to pierce meats before they're marinated so flavors penetrate deeply. The 2-inch-diameter plastic disk on the bottom is spring-loaded. It provides precise control when the tenderizer's handle is pushed down, so the prongs pass through the disk's holes and into the meat. When you release downward pressure, the handle springs up again, poised to tenderize another section with the same smooth, uniform action. This durable, heavy-duty tool (7-1/2 inches high) will last a lifetime. It's dishwasher- safe, too. --Fred Brack Features: Measures: 7.5" x 2" x 2" / 19cm x 5cm x 5cm This tenderizer will improve the texture and the taste of poultry, fish or beef, while also hastening the cooking time. 24 stainless-steel prongs break down tough meat fibers and connective tissues and allows marinade to absorb faster into meat creating tastier and juicier results.
