Knock the schnitzel without a hammer
One of the most common kitchen utensils is and remains a meat mallet for working with schnitzel. Since this is mostly made of wood and wears out over time, you should know how to knock the schnitzel without a hammer and even flatten it more gently.
What you need:
- Flat irons
- frying pan
- Cling film
Many housewives often mistakenly put wooden meat mallets in the dishwasher. This damages the wood in the long run. The constant alternation of moisture and dryness can split the wood and make the meat mallet unusable. However, you have some alternatives on how you can tap schnitzel without using the hammer.
Knocking schnitzel without a hammer - the reasons
- If you are beating schnitzel, you should meat do not destroy. This happens whenever you use a wooden hammer. This usually has points on both sides that tear the meat during processing.
- This is also the reason why you can never get a real Wiener Schnitzel with a meat mallet. Since this has to be pounded very thinly, this is not possible with a meat mallet made of wood, as the meat will fray and get holes.
- If it really has to be a meat mallet, buy one made of metal that has at least one smooth side.
Tapping schnitzel - the alternatives
- If you don't want to use a hammer to tap your schnitzel, just use a frying pan. Lay out the schnitzel, cover it with some cling film and tap it with the bottom of the frying pan.
- Probably the best way to tap a schnitzel is to use a flat iron. This consists of a metal plate with an attached handle. With this you can also make a perfect Wiener Schnitzel.
- Again, lay out the schnitzel and cover it with a piece of cling film, which should be twice as large as the schnitzel itself. Then flatten the meat as thinly as you would like it to be. Doing this will not destroy your meat.
