    I just tried this, but I used a rolling pin to flatten the chicken breasts, and baked them, but I can see that it would be good for grilling to make sure it's done through-no one wants rare chicken:noway:

    My preferred method for beating meat are breasts. Gets the job done a lot quicker.



    And that's chicken...and the job is preparing dinner.

    What is wrong with you people??

    Props on the title...wish I was imaginative. Lol. :drinker:

    Anyway, I used to beat my meat, until my beating toy got lost (or stolen) in our most recent move (and my stoneware too, as a matter of fact :sad: ). Haven't taken the time to buy a replacement. I liked using it for CK parmesan, and thinning as well as tenderizing fajita meats.

    I have seen several people mention a rolling pin.....I thought the triangle/grooves on the mallet helped.....are they overrated?

    LOL this brought back memories of my cousin shouting out from the kitchen, "I'm beating my meat on the counter" while tenderizing his steaks. :laugh:

    I feel that it t tears up the meat to much for me. Unless you are beating steak to make it cubed but even then my rolling pin just a great job and makes it just as tender.

    Tee hee very cute. :laugh:

    My favorite (ahem) "beaten" meat consists of chicken breasts pounded 1/4" thick, rolled and tied with a little light swiss, parsley, lemon zest and garlic inside, then sauteed until brown in a speck of oil. Afterwards add some white wine and simmer until fully cooked. Reduce the wine afterwards for a decadent sauce, maybe add a teaspoon of butter or yogurt.

    Beating the meat gets it from hard to soft fairly successfully
