Tenderizing Abalone

Feel the abalone slice with your fingers so you know how it feels before being tenderized. Pound slice until tender--the abalone flesh will feel noticeably softer.

Some people use a meat pounder to beat the abalone into submission, but I've found many gentle taps all over the abalone slice with the back of a large spoon tenderizes the flesh without tearing it.
