    Want to save on plastic wrap?? Save the inner plastic bag from a box of cereal and use that in place of the plastic wrap. Cheaper and the tough bags will never rupture; causing chicken stuff to fly around your kitchen. - 5/10/13

    Good tips, but agree that the camera work needs work. I felt like I was on a bumpy boat ride. - 3/10/13

    Couldn't see what she was cutting out. Why would you video the top of her hand?? - 12/4/12

    Wish I could see what she's cutting out! I don't like working with meat and it'd be great to know what I'm doing without havig to 'explore' looking for something I don't know what. - 10/13/12

    love it I put mine in a zip bag & pound it. I always buy them on sale and will pound them out & wrap separately & freeze... quick easy to fix meals just waiting to happen . Thanks Meg - 8/28/12

    I used a hammer once and mutilated my poor breast. When stuffing it I had it pinned in all kinds of places with toothpicks. Next time I'll probably use a rolling pin. - 6/3/12

    I know people might find this weird but i put chix breasts in a ziploc and use an actual hammer. Everyone has one of those. Some people dont have an actual mea mallet! Works GREAT!!!! - 5/4/12
