Key benefits of using a meat hammer:

Tenderizes meat: The primary function is to soften tough cuts of meat by breaking down connective tissue and muscle fibers, resulting in a more palatable texture. Even cooking: By flattening the meat, a meat hammer helps ensure more uniform cooking throughout the piece. Improved flavor absorption: Pounding meat creates more surface area, allowing marinades and seasonings to penetrate deeper for enhanced flavor. Reduced cooking time: Tenderized meat cooks faster due to the thinner profile achieved by pounding. Cost-effective: Using a meat hammer allows you to utilize less expensive, tougher cuts of meat by making them more tender.

Cover with plastic wrap:

Always place plastic wrap over the meat before pounding to prevent mess and ensure even distribution of force. Apply even pressure:
