I purchased this tenderizer to chop shelled pecans. It works good enough to make bird food with which was my intent. We are a candy manufacturer with our own orchard and we grow our own pecans for our products. When our pecans start getting old, we make bird food out of them. Have not tried it on meat just yet but it is a lot quicker than a knife and cutting board. It does not chop the nuts fine enough or uniformly enough for some of our products. It will let a few whole halves pass through without being chopped. Considering it was not designed to chop nuts, I am fairly pleased with it because a purpose built pecan chopper with uniform output size is very expensive.
