Meat tenderizers offer versatility to the commercial chef. Not only for tenderizing, they can cut steaks, chicken and other meats for uses in fajitas and stir-fry. Units can strip cooked hams, turkey and cheeses to dish up in appetizers and salads. And yes, they do still cut meat and knit it firmly together to have a better tasting steak to serve. These meat tenderizers are easy to clean and safe to use.
