Frequently Asked Questions - 07-3801-W-A Weston

How to assemble the Weston 07-3801-W-A tenderizer?

Screw the left and right feet to the lower housing using the hex key and screws provided. Screw the chute onto the upper housing. Attach the countertop support. Open the clamp and securely fasten it to the work surface. Place the blade assembly in the lower housing, insert the crank, then join the housings with the thumbscrews. Finally, secure the crank with its screw.

How to convert the tenderizer into a jerky slicer?

To convert, remove the tenderizer roller set (part 07-3103) and replace it with the jerky slicer blade set (part 07-3302, sold separately). Follow the assembly instructions from steps 4 to 8 in the manual.

What thickness of meat can I tenderize?

The maximum thickness of meat pieces should not exceed 2.5 cm (1 inch). Thicker pieces may damage the blades.

How to clean the tenderizer?

Before first use, wash all parts in warm soapy water. After each use, disassemble the unit and wash parts by hand. Dry immediately. Do not use abrasive cleaners or put in dishwasher.

What are the important safety precautions?

The blades are very sharp. Always use the provided tongs to push meat. Never insert fingers into the chute. Wear cut-resistant gloves. Keep children away. Do not force meat. Tie back long hair and remove jewelry.

How to attach the tenderizer to the work surface?

Use the support foot and built-in clamp. Open the clamp by turning the screw clockwise, place it on the edge of the work surface, then turn the screw counterclockwise to tighten firmly. Ensure the unit is stable.

Can I tenderize meat with bones?

No, do not tenderize meat containing bones or hard objects (like shotgun pellets). This would damage the blades and void the warranty.

How to achieve different levels of tenderization?

To vary results, pass the meat through the tenderizer multiple times and engage it at different angles. The crank should always turn clockwise.

What is the warranty period and how to activate it?

The warranty is 1 year from the date of purchase. To activate, return the completed warranty card with a copy of the original receipt to Weston Brands LLC within 30 days of purchase. Failure to do so voids the warranty.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Using an Allen Wrench and 2 Leg Screws and Lock Washers, attach the Support Leg to the Lower Housing (FIGURE A). The C-Clamp should be facing inward.
2. Install the Chute to the Top Housing using an Allen Wrench and the 2 Chute Screws and Lock Washers (FIGURE B).
3. Attach the Countertop Protector Pad to the Support Leg and the Protector Cap on the top of the C- Clamp (FIGURE C).
4. Open the C-Clamp by turn the screw clockwise to open the C-Clamp. Place the C-Clamp onto the work surface, then turn the screw counter-clockwise until firmly tightened.

1. Insert the Blade Assembly into the Lower Housing, guiding the Drive Shaft into the journals. Make sure the gears and the blades of the Blade Assembly are properly meshed together and resting in the journals (FIGURE D). NOTE: The Tenderizer Blade is a 2-piece set. The Jerky Slicer Blade is a single piece.
2. Position the Top Housing onto the Lower Housing and line up the screw holes.
3. Secure the Top Housing to the Lower Housing using the 2 Housing Thumbscrews. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! (FIGURE E).
4. Insert the Left Comb and Right Comb into the Top Housing (FIGURE E).

NOTE: The Left Comb is marked with an "L" on the upper portion of the Comb. The Top Housing is marked with an "L Comb" and "R Comb" to aid in Comb installation.

1. Install Handle onto the Blade Drive Shaft. Secure the Handle to Drive Shaft with the Handle Thumbscrew (FIGURE F).
2. To change Blades, follow "Assembly Instructions" 4-8 as outlined.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

1. With the Support Leg secured to the work surface with the C-Clamp, make sure the Handle can freely rotate (FIGURE G).
2. Make sure the Combs are properly installed. DO NOT use the Tenderizer/Jerky Slicer without the Combs in place.
3. Meat cuts should be 1¼" (3.2 cm) thick or less. Cuts of meat that are too thick may damage the Blades. Remove all bones or hard items in the meat before tenderizing or cubing. Damage to the unit may occur if bones or hard objects are pushed through.
4. Using the Tongs, insert meat into the opening at the top of the Chute until the meat contacts the Blades. Do not allow the Tongs to contact the Blades (FIGURE H).
5. While facing the Tenderizer/Jerky Slicer with the Handle to the right, rotate the Handle CLOCKWISE to tenderize or slice the meat. The Blades will pull meat through the Tenderizer/Jerky Slicer. DO NOT force meat into the Blades.
6. It may be necessary to pass the meat through the Cuber/Tenderizer several times to obtain the desired results. You may also pass the meat through at different angles if a different result is desired.

FOOD SAFETY

There are basic rules to follow when handling food. They are COOK, SEPARATE, CLEAN, and CHILL.

COOK

It's crucial to cook food to a safe internal temperature to destroy bacteria that is present. The safety of hamburgers and other foods made with ground meat has been receiving a lot of attention lately, and with good reason. When meat is ground, the bacteria present on the surface is mixed throughout the ground mixture. If this ground meat is not cooked to at least 160°F to 165°F (71°C to 74°C), bacteria will not be destroyed and there's a good chance you will get sick.

Solid pieces of meat like steaks and chops don't have dangerous bacteria like E. coli on the inside, so they can be served more rare. Still, any beef cut should be cooked to an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C) (medium rare). The safe temperature for poultry is 165°F (75°C) and solid cuts of pork should be cooked to 145°F (63°C).

SEPARATE

Foods that will be eaten uncooked and foods that will be cooked before eating MUST ALWAYS be separated. Cross-contamination occurs when raw meats or eggs come in contact with foods that will be eaten uncooked. This is a major source of food poisoning. Always double-wrap raw meats and place them on the lowest shelf in the refrigerator so there is no way juices can drip onto fresh produce. Then use the raw meats within 1-2 days of purchase, or freeze for longer storage. Defrost frozen meats in the refrigerator, not on the counter.

When grilling or cooking raw meats or fish, make sure to place the cooked meat on a clean platter. Don't use the same platter you used to carry the food out to the grill. Wash the utensils used in grilling after the food is turned for the last time on the grill, as well as spatulas and spoons used for stir-frying or turning meat as it cooks.

Make sure to wash your hands after handling raw meats or raw eggs. Washing hands with soap and water, or using a pre-moistened antibacterial towelette is absolutely necessary after you have touched raw meat or raw eggs. Not washing hands and surfaces while cooking is a major cause of cross-contamination.

CLEAN

Wash your hands and work surfaces frequently when you are cooking. Washing with soap and warm water for at least 15 seconds, then dry with a paper towel.

CHILL

Chilling food is very important. The danger zone where bacteria multiply is between 40° F and 140° F ( 4° C and 6° C). Your refrigerator should be set to 40° F ( 4° C) or below; your freezer should be 0° F (- 17° C) or below. Simple rule: serve hot foods hot, cold foods cold. Use chafing dishes or hot plates to keep food hot while serving. Use ice water baths to keep cold foods cold. Never let any food sit at room temperature for more than 2 hours - 1 hour if the ambient temperature is 90° F ( 32° C) or above. When packing for a picnic, make sure the foods are already chilled when they go into the insulated hamper. The hamper won't chill food - it just keeps food cold when properly packed with ice. Hot cooked foods should be placed in shallow containers and immediately refrigerated so they cool rapidly. Make sure to cover foods after they are cool.

NOTE: Special considerations must be made when using venison or other wild game, since it can become heavily contaminated during field dressing. Venison is often held at temperatures that could potentially allow bacteria to grow, such as when it is being transported. Refer to the USDA Meat and Poultry Department for further questions or information on meat and food safety.
