Grilled some boneless porky ribs last night. the striations in the meat led me to believe they might be a bit on the stringy side, so i used a tenderizer blend. Ingredients: salt, dextrose, papain, and tricalcium phosphate. no added salt and it was too salty when done. Are there tenderizers where the enzyme 'is not' the third ingredient?

Have you used the gadget?
I know those juices will work, but will spoil for as often as they are used, and I don't drink umbrella drinks.

Agree with that if you don't have a cuber

A cuber and a tenderizer are two separate things

A friend has one like that with a blade shape rather than a round point. Haven't found one like that locally. Intuitively, it seems the blade style would work better. Does it matter?

I have the exact same unit. Mixed feelings from junk to so so based on recommendation Alton Brown' s Good Eats.
Ran a side by side comparison on some sirloin from the same steak.
Worked the damn thing like a sewing machine for about 3 minutes on one piece without much difference between the two.

That's nice and all, and LEM seems to have a good rep, but I'm not spending $250 (220 plus shipping will make it close to 250 into my mitts) for an occasional use item.
Hell, that's a couple bricks of 22 rim!

I've Googled, but I have found several devices that use both names for the same device... and terminology seems to vary a lot.
Can you explain the difference between a tenderizer and a cuber in terms so simple that even a dumb ol' Swede can follow?
