Great Product from a Great Supplier
By rosewraps
I ordered this item for my sister since I already own it and knew that it would do exactly what she wanted with minimal stress and strain for her hand. This was critical since she recently underwent extensive hand surgery. The handle design of this meat pounder makes it easy to hold and the weight of the head does the job with a minimum of force – a perfect combo. The only caution is that the small size of the pounder head can make it easy to break apart the meat (especially true for chicken) if one is a bit too aggressive! And the supplier was great in getting the correct item shipped to my sister quickly after a different model meat pounder had been shipped to her by mistake. I talked directly with the owner and she was most gracious and even included a small gift with the correct item. I would certainly do business with this supplier again!

Does the job quickly
By S. Ferguson
This meat hammer works very well. Because of its large size, it tenderizes and flattens the meat rather quickly. It’s not too heavy, either. I would highly recommend it.

NOT dishwasher safe!
By J. Clark
Overall, the quality of this product is reasonably good for the price you pay, and the non-slip handle is comfortable in my medium-size hands. The problem I have is that the product description deceptively says it is dishwasher safe, and that is the primary reason I bought it. However, when I received it the package clearly states that it should not be placed in a dishwasher, and there is a sticker on the handle with the same warning. Buy this if you want a decent tenderizer at a low price, but know that you will have to wash it by hand.
