Skeppshult Meat Tenderizer

Skeppshult Meat Tenderizer might be the most beautiful tool for tenderizing the meet ever made! The material is good old cast iron and will handle the job for years and years, going from one generetion to the next. 

Swedish company Skeppshult (pronounced hep-salt) has been making cast iron products by hand since 1906. The process starts with raw iron that is heated to a searing 1,500°C in the furnaces. The molten iron is then cast into special moulds, made from sand which can withstand the extreme temperatures.

Sand moulds can only be used once, and therefore each product is unique – no two items are exactly alike. Each sand mould is recycled and used for another product. Skeppshult seasons their cast iron with rapeseed oil (also called canola oil) from Osterlen to protect it from damage.
