Description
Effortlessly prep your favorite cuts of meat with the OXO SoftWorks Meat Tenderizer. This two-sided mallet lets you pound chicken flat for faster cooking or tenderize that flank steak for melt-in-your-mouth goodness. The pyramid-shaped teeth are perfect for breaking down tougher fibers to tenderize proteins and prepare them for marinating. The smooth side makes short work of flattening meats to a uniform thickness for even cooking. The stainless steel core and angled head are designed to maximize force without tiring you out. The soft handle fits comfortably in your hand while you work, while its non-slip grip provides traction even when wet. When you're done cooking, pop it in the dishwasher to clean and sanitize — it's dishwasher safe.

A: False. It's plastic covered. The description above is "Made from BPA-free impact-resistant ABS plastic with a solid steel core" Looks painted. Wondering how long this will last.

I use it more than I expected I would
Night this for one recipe and now use it quite frequently! It has two textures on the head, a flat one and a tenderizer one. The tenderizer side isn’t sharp so it doesn’t pierce the Ziploc bag that I put the meat in before beating it. The meat cooks so evenly when you use this! I often regret when I forget to and I’m waiting on that ONE thicker piece of meat to finish cooking so I can serve dinner.

Not Dishwaser Safe
I bought this to replace an old tenderizer that we put in the dishwasher. I put it into the dishwasher one time and it oxidized just like my old one. I read the description before my purchase to make sure that it could go into the dishwasher. I am very disappointed. everything else we've bought from Oxo has been great.

Excellent Tenderizer
Works great, plus the weight is distributed so that it’s more comfortable to hold compared to other tenderizers. It’s also dishwasher safe. The quality is apparent.
