Oxo Good Grips i-Series Meat Pounderx$8.49
  (17 reviews)
Best Price: $8.49
The wide smooth bottom and 24 ounces of weight go to work to quickly flatten meats to an even thickness. Need to tenderize? No problem, the pyramid shaped teeth break down tough meat fibers to improve marinating and tenderness.
OXO's i-series meat pounder flattens or tenderizes boneless cuts of meat and poultry for use in marinades, sautés, 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

Works just fine
By on 2004-06-08
I bought this when my old fashioned mallet-style pounder finally died (the head flew off the stick after years of making chicken piccata). This one works great and has a comfortable grip. I like to use it for "chopping" chocolate that is going to be melted - just put your bar of ghiradelli or sharffen-berger in a ziploc bag and smash away. no melting on your hands and no messy chards of chocolate all over your counter.
At 2 Pounds This Works Great
By A3GKPMHV4U64IY on 2004-09-03
I was looking for a pounder to help flatten chicken breasts (the have a habit of being really thin in one place and really thick in another). After a fruitless search in various cooking stores, I found this. I chose this one over the plain pounder just in case I would want a tenderizer. Boy am I glad I did.
With very little wrist movement, the tenderizer's weight flattens and tenderizes chicken with almost no effort (try that with one of those lightweight wooden ones).
The large flat section takes just a little more effort (still very little) to make your cuts thin and even.
Definitely one of the best things I have bought for my kitchen in a long time. I highly recommend it.
Alton Brown's pick
By A1RV41NUIS3HDI on 2004-12-24
Although he did not mention the brand name or model name, on one of his shows where he was talking about flattening meat out, Alton Brown talked about the different kinds of meat tenderizer mallet type tools that you can use, and this is the one that he recommended.
Perfect for the task!
By A7DMBPX4L2VVH on 2005-03-19
I have to say, I have been needing a meat pounder for a long time and this one is great. I used it on chicken and it did a great job with very little effort on my part. Plus is was very easy to clean, just some soap and water. I am very pleased with this item!
Exactly the right tool
By A19QYI7LWHXPS7 on 2005-11-19
I've used it to break up chocolate, crush tortilla chips, and pulverize eggshells (for the garden). In fact, for everything except pounding meat. But I'm sure it will do a great job at that when I get around to trying it.
It's got plenty of heft, a comfortable handle, and just feels well-balanced.
Another OXO triumph.
- Pretty good
By A3CQT9QBZE6SLO on 2007-01-09
Alton Brown said "Buyit", so I did, it works well.
It doesn't make the Texas Chain Saw Massacre mess the old school spiky mallet does, but it doesn't break up connective tissue on cheap cuts, either.
If you have a carpaccio habit- this is the tool!
I have four meat pounders, each one does something somewhat different, and I wonder if it's not just a gadjet fetish... But this is best in show for making it thinner. Like veal.

Love this product.It has two ways of using it. Pound out the meat flat or tenderize the meat. Easy to clean and store away.
- Great!
By AJ7HPLHB2A5M0 on 2007-02-09
This is the first meat pounder I have ever owned, and I've wanted one for a long time. This one works really great, having a larger flat pounding surface, and it's easy to use and clean. Great product!

By AXO4PQU0XG3TG on 2007-03-07
This is the preferred style for a meat flattener and it has the necessary weight. This is the best priced product with these qualifications.
- Perfect Pounder
By ANHL7BB84WJMF on 2007-05-07
Great size and weight. Easy to handle and clean. I'm donating my old pounders to Goodwill! This one makes them obsolete!

By A1FHIO1LNWA2DM on 2007-07-20
I used to use a rolling pin to make chicken and veal cutlets thin but the OXO Good Grips is tremendously easy to use and works great. I reccommend it highly.
- This works great!!
By A6IIMA7TAFZD on 2007-09-03
It sounds funny, but this is the best meat pounder I've ever had. The angle that you hold it makes it very easy and very effective - I love it!!
- Very easy to hold while pounding your meat
By A2RATH5QG78TYE on 2007-12-15
I can pound my meat from a few inches to almost a foot in diameter.
Comfortable grip, cleans up easily.
- Food therapy!
By A2X61KKXXR6WNP on 2007-12-24
Standard mallets work, but put a tremendous amount of stress on your wrist every time they hit. The design of this one redirects the stress from your wrist to your hand, so your joints won't take a pounding.
The grippy, soft oxo rubber handle is thick and easy to hold, and the rubber extends past the handle onto the base, where it creates a nice base for your hand to rest on while absorbing shock. The weight of the solid aluminum base is all in the base, which keeps it from wobbling during the swing. All in all, a very well thought out design and good reason to toss the old fashioned wooden mallets you may be using now.
I've used mine for pounding chicken breasts flat. Just put them on a cutting board with plastic wrap over them, and pound them into an even thickness. This makes the cook more quickly and evenly. No more thick spots or parts that lift off the pan and undercook, or thinner spots that overcook.
Works really well for pounding garlic flat, too. Just peel the clove, put it on a cutting board, and give it a good whack with the smooth metal bottom. It's food therapy!
- Not the right action for effective pounding
By A3GKJZ5FJK9JUY on 2008-03-28
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.
