Amazon.com Review
OXO's i-series meat pounder flattens or tenderizes boneless cuts of meat and poultry for use in marinades, sautes, and tender baked dishes, and is specially designed to absorb the impact of hammering so your hand stays comfortable throughout. This meat pounder features pyramid-shaped teeth and a cushioned handle with a unique nonslip grip. Use the side with the pyramid teeth for tenderizing, or use the pounder's smooth top to efficiently flatten meats. The entire head employs a nonstick coating so meat fibers and juices clean off easily. The pounder weighs a robust 24 ounces--enough to do most of the work but not enough to tire you out--and is dishwasher-safe. --Rivers Janssen

 Perfect for pounding December 2, 2008
I love this item. It has a great weight, not too heavy but not too light either. The size of the pounding end is really nice. It flattens out your chicken breasts nice and evenly with only a few whacks.
You use a very smooth motion with it and it doesn't take a lot of wrist and hand strength to use it.
I even tackled half frozen chicken with it one day and it handled it with only a bit more effort.
Great buy.

Way better than hammer style tools July 4, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have bought a couple of different types of tenderizers or smashers but this one is designed well you don't have to compensate for angles lets say your using a pan or tray with a side wall the hammer style will not allow you to strike the meat flatly or if like me you have large hands I can't tell you how many times my knuckles got tenderized before the meat did most hammer style tenderizers don't have an allowance for large hands holding the tool so as you strike the meat you more than likely will bang your knuckles first which absorb the blow more than the meat will.
This tool also has a larger surface area and more weight than most hammer types this will allow people to use less force when using the tool also I was able to flatten some chicken breasts much easier and quicker using mostly the weight of the tool and a little auxilliary power from me, and the breasts pounded out to about a 1/4" thick perfect for rolling up and stuffing with any filling.
One suggestion I would make would be to use a zip-lock type of bag sealed with a little extra moisture not dry this will allow you to control the mess if any also the liquid helps to reduce friction when pounding and flattening the meat and will also make handling raw chicken safer to prepare not too mention a perfect way to introduce a marinade to the meat with out dirtying a bowl.
All in all I'm very pleased with this item and will be using this on many cooking projects.
great tool May 9, 2008
This is a great addition to any kitchen where a cook likes to get creative. I read a review in a highly respected cook's magazine that didn't like this style of pounder because they said the motion to use it was not comfortable. Their recommended tool was the equivalent of slapping the meat with the back of a shovel. This tool worked great. It is the perfect weight and very easy to control. The motion is very natural. You will be able to prepare a lot of product with this without wearing out your wrists. Sometimes you have to ignore the pros and go with what you think is best. You won't be sorry with this great little tool.
 Not the right action for effective pounding March 28, 2008
I bought this based on the previous good reviews. My experience with it differs greatly.
It is so deep that it hits my wrist very painfully with every pound.
I was hoping this design would give me more control than my four inch cast iron pan with chicken breasts and it does, slightly, but for everything else the action is just not powerful enough.
You need the leverage of a long handle.
I am going to buy the cast iron pounder with the offset handle next time around and just go slower with chicken breasts.
