(Redirected from Tenderize)
In cooking, 'tenderizing' is a process to break down collagens in meat to make it more palatable for consumption.
There are three basic forms:

★ Mechanical tenderization, such as pounding.

★ The tenderization that occurs through cooking, such as braising.

★ Tenderizers in the form of naturally occurring enzymes, which can be added to food before cooking.
