RAFBAR Adjustable Thickness Meat Tenderizer Attachment for Stand Mixers, Dishwasher Safe, Black Review

The RAFBAR Meat Tenderizer Attachment connects to a compatible stand mixer and turns it into a powered tenderizer. The listing says it is designed for KitchenAid stand mixers, but also states that these attachments are not created or sold by KitchenAid, so it is a third-party accessory.

The attachment has 3 adjustable settings for meat of different thicknesses. A setting knob moves between Setting 3, Setting 2 and Setting 1, which the listing labels thicker, thick and thin, so you can match the tenderizing to the cut.

The listing positions it as a time-saver compared with hand-hammering meat. It suggests it for hunters, food enthusiasts and small restaurants that tenderize large amounts at once, and says a cut of meat is processed in seconds.

The rollers are made from BPA free, food grade plastic, and the listing says this avoids the aluminum roller problem, where aluminum turns black over time.

The attachment is black with plastic rollers described as BPA free, food grade and durable. The listing contrasts them with aluminum rollers, which it says turn black easily, so the material choice is aimed at cleanliness and easy care.

A raised protective cover keeps fingers away from the rollers during use. This is an important safety feature for any powered tenderizer, since the rollers draw meat in and need to be kept clear of hands.

The listing says all parts have a smooth surface for easy cleanup and are dishwasher safe, so after use you rinse under the tap and then place the attachment in the dishwasher.

The listing describes a fit with no wobble and no shaking, and gives the size as large. It does not give physical dimensions or the weight of the attachment.

The three-way thickness setting is the main control. Turning the setting knob from 3 to 2 to 1 changes how thin the meat is processed, which suits different cuts and recipes, from steaks to thin cutlets.

Speed is the main benefit. The listing says a cut of meat is processed in seconds, which beats hammering by hand, particularly for large batches.

The safety cover helps protect fingers, but the usual rules apply. Switch off the mixer and unplug it before cleaning, keep hair and clothing clear, and feed the meat gently.

Plastic rollers are easier to clean and do not discolor, but plastic is generally less rigid than metal. The listing makes no claim about how well they handle very tough cuts.

The attachment depends on your mixer's power and fit. Because it is a third-party accessory, confirm compatibility with your exact mixer model before ordering.
