Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 2-in-1 tenderizer work?
Natural enzymes break down tough muscle fibers before cooking. Apply, rest 20–30 minutes (or up to 2 days for steaks), and enjoy a juicy, tender cut with bold Kalmes flavor.
Does SUPERB BLEND work in an air fryer?
Yes — set to 375°F, apply a light spray of cooking oil, and cook to golden perfection. Crispy without deep frying.
What proteins can I use these on?
Chicken, steak, pork chops, fish, shrimp, onion rings, and vegetables. Especially popular for crispy chicken, fish fry, and pork chops.
Do you offer wholesale or restaurant pricing?
