Could it be aluminium die castings? SWMBO bought a meat tenderizer
made by Kitchenaide for me the other day - the mallet thingy with one
flat face, one spikey face (would definitely tenderize "meat"). Out of

, I came up with a
rough Specific Gravity of 3.8 which, to me, indicates chromium plated
aluminium casting.
