Shift Meat Pounder & Tenderizer set explores how a subtle change in the manufacturing process can entirely transform function.

Here, that shift comes from a simple adjustment in CNC machining angle: one piece features a flat bottom surface that acts as a pounder for shaping and flattening, while the other introduces a textured surface that works as a tenderizer to break down fibers.

The design demonstrates how minimal variations in process can lead to distinct outcomes, turning an everyday kitchen tool into a study of precision and purpose.
