Hard to believe something used with raw meat cannot be sterilized in the dishwasher
Residential dishwashers cannot sterilize. While they can sanitize, achieving true sterilization requires much higher temperatures and longer exposure times than a typical dishwasher can reach. Sanitizing involves reducing the number of microorganisms to a safe level, while sterilization eliminates all living microorganisms. But yeah, something made of metal that touches food should be able to be put in the dishwasher to be sanitized without destroying its finish. <-- my opinion

If you are using this to directly hit the meat without something like plastic wrap or parchment paper between the meat and mallet you are doing it wrong. Imagine all the little chunks and juice flying everywhere with every smack, even if it is too small to see. Essentially this should really never touch raw meat.
I have this, the finish is garbage and it will get messed up after the first wash. It's also very light.
Yeah this is cast aluminum with a coating on it, can never go in the dishwasher, hand wash only. But if you use it properly with plastic wrap or something between the hammer and meat the hand wash should be easy-peasy.
And although it is light the energy transfer to the head of the hammer is pretty good and does a good job of tenderizing or flattening the meat in my experience. Had mine for years now and it looks new, works great.

That's right, you should always wrap your meat in plastic - even if you are just beating it on your own at home. It is safer and creates less mess.

YMMV, but I got this exact tenderizer at Ross for $4.99. If you're going to be near one of their stores its worth checking to see if they have one in stock.
Has anyone used these? Is the weight decent? I've used others that were too light to tenderize. Found something used at a garage sale that was without stamped labeling, but weighed like a sledge hammer and works amazing. Looking for something like it.

The users who are saying don't put it in a dishwasher are correct but they are being short and not saying why. The reason is that it makes no sense that it is made out of aluminum, as that *cannot* go into any dishwasher. No aluminum item can.
Bottom line: spend a few more dollars and buy a well reviewed stainless one, or use the underside of a tri-ply skillet like the rest of us cheapskates when we're beating our meat 🍖 😀.
I have a price tracker for amazon... The last time this was $16 was 3 years ago, from August 2024 to May 2025 this was $8.50, then it dropped to $7.50 for a month, since then it's been within 50 cents of this price constantly. This isn't a deal.

If the surface isn't truly foodsafe and you have to use a barrier like parchment paper or saran wrap... Why not just an old shoe?
