My Mom used to take inexpensive round steak and pound the heck out of it with a sharp, heavy knife until it was well-macerated, then cut it into roughly 2" cubes, dredge them in butter, salt and pepper them, and fry them in butter. Well, margarine, it was the 1960s and we didn't know better. Anyway, she called it "cube steak" and it was one of my favorite ways to eat beef. But I hated the long, tiring process of hacking away at the meat when I was old enough to prepare it on my own. My arm would ache with the effort. But it was the only way to get the steak really, really tender.Fast forward to my adult years, and every once in a while I'd get a hankering for my Mom's version of cube steak and endure the hassle of hacking the heck out of the meat to get it to the proper consistency. And the noise! I once had a downstairs neighbor bang on my door complaining about the pounding. But there was no other way. Even store-bought cube steaks weren't tender enough for me. I'd have to hack away at those, too.Then, recently, I decided to check Amazon to see if there was something that would automate the process. So many choices! I decided on the Weston because of many positive reviews raving about the sturdiness of the gadget, how fast, easy, and efficiently it cubes meats, and, vitally important, how easy it is to take apart and clean. I am a gadget freak, but I've learned that if something is a pain to clean, it will end up shoved to the back of my bottom cupboard, never to be seen again.The reviews turned out to be perfectly true, and then some. Clamp the Weston to the edge of my counter, and it's rock-solid. Run the meat through the grinder two or three times, and it's so well-cubed that you can see peeks of daylight through it. Just what I want! Instead of chopping away for 10 minutes, it's done in seconds. I buy several packages of round steak and cube the lot, then vacuum seal meal-size portions and freeze. Saving 50 cents a pound or more over commercially-prepared cubes steaks is making the Weston pay for itself - and I was never satisfied with their consistency, anyway. I love being able to make my steaks as heavily cubed and tender as I like them.The Weston lives up to its claim of easy clean-up. Loosen a few hand-tightened screws and the whole top comes off. The rollers and guide blades slip right out and the remaining bottom and base are easy to wipe down. Meat residue seems to rinse right off of the rollers, but I squirt some dish soap on them and just twirl them around under running hot water. I suppose you could use one of those skinny bottle brushes, like they use for baby bottles, but I haven't felt the need to bother. I believe the removable components are dishwasher-safe, but I don't have a dishwasher so I can't testify to that. The heavy metal parts are coated with what seems to be a very durable painted finish. I haven't had the slightest hint of peeling, and so far I've used, and washed, my Weston more than half a dozen times.I plan to give the Weston a try with boneless pork chops and chicken breasts, too. Some people have reported great results with game meats like venison that tend to be very lean and tough. Even with tender cuts like chicken, I imagine marinades and rubs will be much more effective with the greatly increased surface area that results from cubing. All those little nooks and crannies for the good stuff to get into!You can also buy alternate grinders that will create strips for jerky. With proper care, this sturdy machine should last for years, maybe a lifetime.
