Dishwasher safe and very sturdy. It's also not too big to fit in a regular size drawer. What more could you ask for.

Well I followed advise from the other reviewers and covered the meat with plastic wraps so that there's no mess at all and result is great. I'd like it better if they rotate the handle by 90 degrees so that the flat side rest in my hand.

I just used my tenderizer for the first time last night on some pork chops. What a difference a little pounding makes! The meat was so soft and juicy. The pounding "fluffed" the meat and seemed to help it retain its juices. I can't wait to try it on some steak and lamb chops.

This tool is great. You MUST use plastic wrap to avoid a mess! This gadget got pork loin cutlets so thin and beautiful that rolling them around a stuffing was a pleasure not a chore! And if anyone know a hunter, it makes venison steaks fantastic! It is small so it stores nicely and fits well into the dishwasher. It is well weighted so it feels good in your hand when using it. It is easy to control, unlike the big, bulky mallet types. Give it a try, for the price, you can't beat it!

Absolutely, positively do not use this tenderizer without something covering the meat. It works fabulously but I tried it without covering (I hadn't read the other reviews) and I, my counters, refrigerator, etc, we're splattered tremendously!! Just an FYI.

This is a great gadget, but a bit messy! I wouldn't want to be without it and would surely love to see it improved. Wish someone would come up with an electric or hand cranked tenderizer with teeth on opposing sides that steaks, chops, etc. can be processed through without splattering the walls, cabinets, and anything sitting on them! There are commercial ones, why not ones for home use?

This tenderizer, with a rubberized mallet that feels comfortably heavy, works well and feels good in your hands. To prevent splattering, I suggest that you put the meat between two pieces of plastic wrap or in a plastic Ziploc bag. That also keeps the tenderizer relatively clean.

Enjoy!

I got this as a Christmas gift for my wife (hints were dropped) and she loves it. Excellent weight and dishwasher safe.

The handle of this tenderizer is a little flat, I guess in order to fit on a wall gadget rack. This makes it slightly awkward to use. It is a minor inconvenience and otherwise this is a very nice gadget. In Europe tenderizing is used almost with every meat recipe, but here in America it is almost forgotten, however, unless it's a roast, tenderizing is essential in preparation of veal and pork and some beef cuts.

It worked exactly as I expected. It pounded my Chicken to the point I should practically see through it if I wanted. I put the chicken in a ziplock first and there was no clean up to speak of. It also washed up fast and easy. Easy to hold.
