Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Norpro Meat Veal Pounder
Customer Review: works really well
Summary: 4 Stars
My chicken breasts weren't nearly as shredded as they were with my old meat pounder and it took a lot less pounding. It's a little heavy and awkward to use, but I'm sure with use I'll get use to it.Customer Review: Very handy
Summary: 4 Stars
This product was rated highly in Cook's Illustrated. I haved used it once on a whole butterflied chicken and it worked as expected. After my purchase , the price went down considerable.Customer Review: Strange and Awkward Design. Other designs are a lot better.
Summary: 1 Stars
This design is so strange and awkward. It's like something between the "hammer" design and the straight pounder design. I think it's very ineffective. Yes, because it has a flat "pounder", it will pound to an extent...but no where near the other two designs. Read my reviews on the other designs to formulate your own opinion, but I don't think this meat pounder was designed well at all. It would be more difficult to clean and store. It does not work well for the "down and out" motion necessary for proper meat pounding.
Customer Review: ??Recommended by Cooks Illustrated??
Summary: 1 Stars
This item is reviewed in Cooks Illustrated and "recommended with reservations". I don't think this should show up on a product listing as "recommended"! Until I checked their website, I thought it meant that this was the one that came out on top.
"When pitted against heavier models, the flaws of this offset-handled pounder became apparent. Shorter testers, pounding at a less optimal angle, found that the heel of the disk often dug into and tore the meat."
Customer Review: Poorly finished
Summary: 1 Stars
Although this meat pounder has been highly rated by Cooks Illustrated I found it to be poorly finished.
It is well designed, just a poor quality implimentation.
