Inox's 1 3/4 Pound 18/8 Stainless Steel Meat tenderizer features a mirror polish surface that is easy to clean and dishwasher safe. The traditional design is preferred over mallet type meat tenderizers as it spreads the force of impact out rather than taring the meat. As a result you achieve paper thin cutlets. Plus the 1 3/4 pound striking head is heavy enough to make quick work of the task, yet not too heavy to make it unwieldy. Dishwasher safe
