KitchenAid tested: Punch Meats Versus Nuts… Spot surprising use!

We were intrigued when this KitchenAid Gourmet Multi Sided Meat Tenderizer promised versatility—pounding meats, nuts, and even shellfish. With its sleek black design and hang hole for storage, it impressed us immediately. We tested it on chicken breasts, yielding uniformly tender results, and then moved on to walnuts, where its firm surface worked wonders for crushing them into perfect crumbling consistency. The hand-wash feature was a plus, keeping things simple. But what truly surprised us was using it on softer shellfish like mussels, which plumped up evenly under its smooth side. While multifunctional, we found the edges a bit too rounded for delicate tasks, but overall, this tool is a clever, space-saving addition to any kitchen.
