What is the other side of the meat mallet used for?
A meat mallet can have two functional sides. You will most often find the gridded part, the striped part, or the flat part. We use the gridded part most often. It is useful for preparing meat for steaks.If you have a striped part on the other side of the pestle, you can use it to tenderize tougher meat.It is ideal for pork neck and tougher beef.If our meat grinder has a flat side , we can use it to pound poultry (turkey, chicken) as well as crush garlic, nuts or potatoes.
