KitchenAid Meat Tenderizer Attachment, 3 Thicknesses 🍽️
Description:
This meat tenderizer attachment for stand mixers converts a KitchenAid-style mixer into a fast tenderizing tool for batches of steak, venison or pork. It offers three adjustable thickness settings and a transparent cover so you can monitor the process while you work, making it useful for home cooks, hunters, and small kitchens that need to prepare multiple portions quickly.
Key Points
The attachment is built for compatibility with KitchenAid tilt-head and bowl-lift stand mixers and also fits some Cuisinart SM-50 series models, according to the manufacturer. It locks into the mixer's power hub for hands-free tenderizing and aims to eliminate the repetitive pounding that manual mallets require. The transparent safety cover keeps ingredients contained while you watch how the blades work. Consider that these accessories are produced by RAFBAR and are not original equipment from KitchenAid.

Benefits
Using the attachment reduces prep time when you need to tenderize several steaks or large game cuts. It helps achieve consistent thickness and texture across portions, which can improve cooking evenness. Because parts are dishwasher safe and have smooth surfaces, cleaning is straightforward and quicker than scrubbing many small crevices. The visual cover also adds a safety element while keeping the work area tidy.
Usage Recommendations
For best results, trim excess fat and sinew and cut meat into pieces that fit comfortably under the cover before attaching the unit to your mixer. Start at the gentlest setting to see how your cut responds, then increase thickness if more tenderization is needed. Run the mixer at the speed recommended by the mixer manufacturer, and pause periodically to reposition larger pieces so they are evenly processed. Note that highly fibrous or very thick roasts may require multiple passes or follow-up slicing to reach the desired texture.
A practical nuance to keep in mind is that compatibility depends on your mixer model. Check that your mixer's attachment hub matches the style described for KitchenAid or the referenced Cuisinart SM-50 series. Also note that the accessory is designed for tenderizing and cubing; it does not replace specialized cutting or grinding machines and may not be suited for very hard or frozen blocks of meat.
