That is all.
Hard to believe something used with raw meat cannot be sterilized in the dishwasher
This is a perfect prop for my Ghost cover band when we play square hammer!
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
Let us know how it goes
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.
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.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank RussellBell
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 🍖 😀.
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?
