Chris in VA Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 How about a rolling pin? Put the meat in a thick plastic bag first. I don't have a rolling pin, so I'd use a hammer turned sideways or a can of beans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardening momma Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I wouldn't recommend this, just for the safety issue, but this is what I do: I take a glass tumbler from my cupboard (it has a heavy bottom), cover the meat with plastic wrap and pound with the bottom of the glass. Disclaimer: Do not try this at home. I am not a professional and will probably cut my hand one of these days. I reeeaaally need to get a meat mallet.

TheReader Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 the back side of a butcher knife works really, really well. Just be careful not to whack yourself with the front side as you hammer. Also, go in one direction, turn the meat, go again, etc. until you get a criss-cross pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmn Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I used a hammer with the meat inside of a plastic bag, but it did kind of tear the meat up a little. I think the rolling pin idea is a good one! I do plan on buying a meat tenderizer mallet though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcelmer Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 The back of the ultra heavy ice cream scoop... The meat stays in the bag, and you whack it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audrey Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I use my rolling pin and put the meat between sheets of wax paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
