I just purchased a 50-pound (at least) meat tenderizer from Pampered Chef. You have no idea how excited I am for its arrival. I have been coveting the tool ever since I first heard of Pampered Chef. I’m not a huge meat eater nor do I cook meat very often. The thrill of the meat tenderizer is in its construction. The thing is solid. You could definitely beat someone over the head with it and cause some brutal damage if not death. No one ever differentiated whether the “meat” to be tenderized should be alive or dead. I’m actually thinking of using it for personal protection. No joke. When I moved into my very first home, my boyfriend was working overnights so I was home alone very late at night. I pride myself at being a strong, independent woman and I did fine at first. But then, some freak decided he’d tear open the screen of my bedroom window and attempt to enter my house. Luckily my cat, Veda, came to my defense and scared the son-of-a-bum away. We came to the conclusion that the perpetrator was more than likely our maturing neighbor boy with over active glands and who-know-what on his mind. Even so, my tough-as-nails exterior had been penetrated. I could no longer sleep easy. There were times that I’d sleep in my basement, thinking that no intruder would think to find me there. There was also the added benefit of Dan’s air soft guns. They could be mistaken for a real gun except for that pesky orange plastic crap on the tip. Unfortunately the basement was not as comfy cozy as my own bed so I moved back to my bedroom. With the fear still intact, I had to find some other sort of defense against possible intruders. Walking through my kitchen, I passed by my cast iron mortar and pestle. Ah ha! I grabbed the wand portion of the duo (not knowing which portion is the “mortar” and which the “pestle”) and placed it on my nightstand. Luckily I have not needed to make use of it. Kitchen gadgets are very handy outside of the kitchen as well.
The handle is the pestle. That tenderizer looks fierce!
