1. Remove all bones or hard items in the meat before tenderizing. The machine
may be damaged if bones or hard objects are pushed through.
2. Do not tenderize meat that is more than 1” (2.5 cm) thick. Thicker meat may
get lodged in Blades, which may cause damage to the product.
3. Insert the meat to be tenderized into the Chute until the meat comes in contact
with the Blades. Turn the Handle clockwise. This will pull the meat through the
Blades. Insert only one piece of meat at a time to prevent jamming.
4. If a piece of meat is too short to reach the Blades, use the provided Tongs to
guide the meat to the Blades.
5. CAUTION! DO NOT press or push the meat into the Chute with your fingers or
any other object. Doing so may cause personal injury and/or damage to the
unit. DO NOT push the Tongs or other utensils into the Blades.

obtain the desired results. You may also pass the meat through at different
