Great Tenderizer with a Small Quirk
The Meat Tenderizer attachment for my KitchenAid mixer is a great tool that has made meal prep much easier. It does an excellent job of tenderizing meat quickly and evenly, and it’s a lot less effort than using a manual tenderizer.The attachment is **sturdy and well-made**, and it’s simple to connect to the mixer. I’ve used it on various meats, and it delivers great results every time.The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that, every once in a while, the meat gets stuck and has to be removed by hand. It’s not a huge issue, but it can interrupt the flow and adds a bit of extra work.Other than that, this is a solid product that I’d recommend to anyone looking to make their KitchenAid mixer even more versatile. It’s a great addition to my kitchen!

Works great!
I love this meat tenderizer. In the past I have had the butcher at my grocery store pass less expensive cuts of meat through their commercial tenderizer so I could have a decent cube steak. Doing so was a bit of a nuisance for the butcher and me and it forced me to buy the cut of meat from the butcher’s display window instead of potentially less expensive pre-wrapped meats. It also kind of limited me to using beef. With this KitchenAid style meat tenderizer I can process whatever cut of meat I want and I can buy the most affordable cuts in the grocery store. I like to tenderize tough cuts like London broil and then marinate in a vacuum sealed bag for a long time to further tenderize and flavorize the meat. But I also like passing tender pork cutlets and chicken breast through the tenderizer to flatten them for fried Japanese katsu-style cutlets, or for schnitzel. I have also used lower priced lamb to make delicious katsu.This tenderizer works great and is really well made. It feels very robust and solid and slabs meat glide easily between its jaws. I was worried that it would be hard to clean, but really it isn’t bad. A bit of soap and hot water and the assembly cleans up easily. (I would recommend cleaning it promptly after use to make sure a bits of meat do not hard or get too stuck.). This is an awesome product and I can’t wait to find new ways to incorporate it into my cooking. (I wonder what a slice of potato would look like coming out of this and the deep fried? 😋).

Will Make a Great GIft
I misread this listing and didn't realize this was an attachment and not a self contained device. I do not have a stand mixer so I can't use or test this. It seems like an amazing product and it's going to be a gift for a friend who does have a stand mixer.

WORKS VERY WELL
Fits the Kitchenaid securely, solidly and was easy to attach & operate. Tried it out with some Angus Choice Petite Sirloin Steaks which have usually been fairly tough and sinewy from what we have bought in the past. They ran through very easily, repeated three times and rotated each time. It did a good job breaking down the connective tissue and actually did tenderize it quite well, but I really didn’t care too much for the texture of the meat. We used a relatively inexpensive piece of meat to give it a real test, top round steak and it came out pretty good. A pan sauce would have made it perfect, but time constraints prevented us from making it. My wife was very pleased with how it came out and we will be using it again for sure.It is well made and rugged, so it should hold up pretty well, just be really careful when using it, keep your fingers far away from the “teeth”, my first piece got stuck ¾’s through and I wasn’t sure what to do at that point. You have to be so very careful to keep your fingers or implements away from the top, I stopped it and thought about how I might “clear” it and carefully applied a little pressure on the top, but that could have been extremely dangerous, I won’t do that again. Next time I will have a piece of meat available that I can press in there to clear the jam safely, so make sure you plan that in advance because it could happen to you. Take your time cleaning it too, use a dish soap spray in all sides, let soak for a minute and spray thoroughly with very hot water, brush away any remnants if necessary, keep rotating the rollers while doing so and allow it to dry thoroughly before putting it away.

Easy to use and very effective
This was a perfect fit for my KitchenAid mixer. They make it so easy to use you literally just install it in the top, tighten down, turn on, and you’re ready to use. It does a great job of evenly tenderizing the meat. I’ve only experimented with beef so far and it’s done an exceptional job with that. I wouldn’t recommend for something like a ribeye or fillet or anything already tender but for a cheaper and more tough cut of meat this is a great option. That only does it tenderize it but the way it textures the meat. It allows the meat to hold spices much better. As you can see in the attached video, I used a boneless beef short rib. These normally take quite a bit of time cooking whether using a instant pot or a slow braise method. By tenderizing the meat first, it certainly reduces the time to cook.It’s very easy to clean. I just popped mine out and wash off the meat remnants in the sink and then throw it into the dishwasher. I store it right in the bowl in the KitchenAid mixer itself so it’s there whenever I need it. It’s been a great addition to the kitchen and it’s used regularly now. I think it’s a fair value at the $35 price tag especially for me and for how many times I’ve used it. It has a little bit of weight to it, which makes it feel quality belt. Only time will tell about durability, but from what I can see so far, it should last for a long time.
