Most meat tenderizers look like hammers. This one looks like...well, a torture tool. But given that tenderizing is a minor form of torture for uncooked meat whichever way you pursue it, I tested the Deni with an open mind.

A gadget for microwave cooking? Color me skeptical. But that's exactly what the
Cook-Zen Microwave Pot is all about. It's surprisingly amazing—and not just for the college student. The Cook-Zen pot has allowed me to become lazier, more ambitious, and somewhat healthier all in one fell swoop. Sound impossible? Believe it.
