Review on 🍖 Jaccard Simply Better 45-Blade Meat Tenderizer with Removable Cartridge, Stainless Steel Columns, NSF Approved - Black by Threlkeld Drauch

This is a high quality product that works very well. Cleaning is not very difficult, but you have to be very careful due to the closely spaced sharp blades. I only discovered the downside of this product after purchasing it through casual browsing. Some experts advise against using this type of tenderizer due to the risk of contaminating the inner parts of the meat that reach the blades. To clarify, there's a good reason why you can safely cook steak to 135 degrees, but you need to cook ground beef to 165 degrees. The bad bacteria are on the outside of the steak, and conventional cooking exposes the bacteria to temperatures high enough to kill the bacteria. However, because the ground beef has been processed, the bacteria on the outside of the beef can mix with the product, requiring a higher temperature to ensure the bacteria are killed. spread any bacteria from the surface deep into the meat. If the meat isn't cooked to at least 165 degrees, you risk getting food poisoning. Bottom Line: When using this tenderizer, make sure you fully cook the meat to an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
