Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oxo Good Grips i-Series Meat Pounder
Customer Review: great tool
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Customer Review: Food therapy!
Summary: 5 Stars
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!

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!!Customer Review: OXO Meat Pounder

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.
