J.B. Prince Meat Flattener

This flattener provides a flat, even surface that creates a consistent thickness across the entire cut of meat. Unlike a spiked mallet, which can tear delicate fibers, this tool compresses the meat smoothly for uniform cooking.

Nickel-plated steel is durable and resistant to corrosion, but it is not stainless steel. To maintain the finish and prevent rust, ensure the tool is hand-washed and dried thoroughly immediately after use.

The weight is intentionally balanced to do the work for you, allowing gravity to assist in the flattening process. Most users find the heft provides enough pressure to flatten meat quickly without requiring excessive physical exertion.

Yes, it is excellent for delicate proteins. Because it lacks sharp teeth, it won't shred the meat, making it ideal for preparing cutlets, schnitzel, or scaloppine that require a smooth, even surface.

We recommend hand-washing with warm, soapy water. Avoid putting it in the dishwasher, as the harsh detergents and high heat can compromise the nickel plating over time.
