ZeeZee Home Professional 48 Ultra Sharp Stainless Steel Needle Blades Meat Tenderizer Tool, Black

It's been eight months since I ordered this.Pro: Does a great job tenderizing. The force required to push down is on par with the other blade tenderizers I've used. And despite the con listed below, I use it quite a bit. I often use it just to make sure that a marinade or dry rub penetrates the meat.Con: I cannot hold it open and use the cleaning brush at the same time; it takes both hands to expose the points. I need my husband's help. I give it a good soap & water wash. Then I use the brush on the outside, then turn it upside down, my husband pushes down the handle to expose the blades, and then I use the brush on the tips. Another quick dip in soapy water and then I rinse it.

Can't believe I just now find out about this wonderful product. It works exactly as advertised. I first used it on flap steak (for my breakfast). The marinade soaks right in and gives a much better flavor, and the steak is very tender (although it is a tough cut of meat). Then I used it on some good, 2-inch ribeye. I've never tried to tenderize ribeye before, but it made a great improvement in both flavor and tenderness. The tiny holes allow the marinade to soak into the meat and greatly increases the flavor. I was afraid that tenderizing the thick ribeye would cause it to dry out on the grill, but it remained moist, tender, and flavorful. I love the ZeeZee Meat Tenderizer and would definitely recommend it. I plan to try it on lots of other meats eventually.

Does a good job at piercing meat. Only used it on steak & chops so far but satisfied.

I'm not a 'cook'. I cook because I love to eat (hate boxed, frozen, etc.) and always try to do quick and easy.....so grilled steak and chicken is on our menu often. Even though I'd read the other reviews I had my doubts. This thing really works. Don't know if it's any better than the other styles on the market I just wish I'd known about these things years ago. Order one right now!!!

I haven't used it yet. Meat doesn't get tender this way you, all it does is poke holes and breaks connective tissue. It doesn't actually tenderize​, that happens with the method you use to cook your meat.

A bit bulky but needs to have sturdiness to get through tissues of muscle meet (beef). Not the easiest to clean but well worth the trouble!

It push and go. I don’t use it enough to give a good review, seems like it works, I haven’t noticed a difference of tenderness.

I bought relatively cheap steaks for birthday party dinner. I used this and marinated my steaks overnight. Everyone raved about how delicious and tender the steaks were. Even the picky eaters ! I recommend this tool. You can save money and buy cheaper meat and get more compliments.
