Pork Belly Crisping Tool & Tenderiser - Avanti

This Avanti crisping tool perforates pork skin with fine stainless steel prongs, letting fat escape as the crackling cooks so the skin puffs up crisp and golden rather than staying tough and rubbery. The same spring-action head doubles as a meat tenderiser, breaking down tough fibres in beef, lamb, poultry and fish before marinating.

The tool is made from BPA-free plastic with 20 sharp stainless steel prongs housed under a protective guard, so the points stay covered and safe to store in a kitchen drawer between uses. A firm push down onto the pork skin repeatedly covers it in tiny perforations; lighter pressure on other cuts of meat tenderises without piercing all the way through. After use, soak the head in warm soapy water for a few minutes then rinse it clean with a brush to clear the prongs.

• 20 stainless steel prongs in a spring-loaded head
• BPA-free construction
• Protective guard keeps prongs covered when not in use
• Doubles as a meat tenderiser for beef, lamb, poultry and fish

Handy for weekend roasts and slow-cooked pork belly where a good crackle finish matters.
