Product Description
The offset handle on this meat pounder makes its weight easier to manage and spares your knuckles too. Recommended by the editors of "Cook's Illustrated" magazine, this is an ideal tool for flattening veal or chicken breasts.

A Valuable Tool May 17, 2008
If you are strong in culinary skills but weak of arm, this is for you. Perfect cutlets (veal, chicken, pork) are essential for perfect dishes (scallopini, piccata, medalions), and the Norpro meat pounder will let you achieve perfection every time.

Best One Yet -- Better than the Rest November 23, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

We frequently pound chicken for our favorite recipes, which is why I was looking for the best meat pounder I could buy. My research led me to an old favorite, "Cook's Illustrated." They rated the Norpro Offset Meat Pounder the best of all the ones they tested. They liked the offset handle design, which relieved some of the tension on one's wrist.

I have to concur with "Cook's Illustrated." I have less wrist strain with the offset handle. The pounder has a good heft, and makes quick work of the meat. The disk is 3 and 3/4 inches in diameter. The overall length is 11 and 1/4 inches. My kitchen (spring) scales weight the Norpro at 1 lb. 10 ozs. The chrome surface is smooth, and could not be easier to clean. One only has to look at the photo to see how easy.

I almost did not buy this because of the price. However, we use our meat pounder a lot, and the Norpro Offset Pounder has been worth every penny to my wife and I.

Buy the best -- scream once.

Strange and Awkward Design. Other designs are a lot better. December 7, 2005
7 out of 16 found this review helpful

This design is so strange and awkward. It's like something between the "hammer" design and the straight pounder design. I think it's very ineffective. Yes, because it has a flat "pounder", it will pound to an extent...but no where near the other two designs. Read my reviews on the other designs to formulate your own opinion, but I don't think this meat pounder was designed well at all. It would be more difficult to clean and store. It does not work well for the "down and out" motion necessary for proper meat pounding.
