Since the blades are plastic the utensil can be used in nonstick skillets with no damage to the skillet. The blades do a great job of chopping the meat in the skillet. The blades show no damage from the heat of the skillet. It is made of heavy duty plastic and will last a long time. It looks a good as the day I first go it. I just rinse it off and put it in the dishwasher. It is well worth the price and is one of the handiest utensils I have. It is particularly useful if you buy your ground beef in the plastic rolls since the meat tends to stick together when it is cooked. It is particularly good a breaking up ground beef for tacos, sloppy joes, chili, etc. It does a fabulous job of breaking up meat when you are cooking it. True One of my favorite Pampered Chef products. I use mine often and so far it has lasted several years. Those crevices with trapped meat are the only cleaning issue for me. I like the finished product (finely ground, evenly-cooked beef) that I am willing to remove some meat with my fingers or a fork while it's cooking, and scrape it down before washing. There are ways around this (scrape the meat off before washing, or just handwash the tool), so it isn't a big enough issue to make me stop using it. And while this product can be washed in the dishwasher, mine will often come out with some of that trapped meat still in there. Now for the flaw: The raw meat often gets stuck in the crevices, forcing me to either 1) dig it out with my fingers or a utensil while cooking, or 2) leave it there and lose some of the meat in the process. I can twist and turn the blades with ease as I chop the meat while it cooks on the stovetop. The nylon material used on this tool prevents it from scratching the pan, and the handle has a comfortable grip. I think it takes a lot less effort and dexterity than using a wooden spoon. It's my favorite way to chop meat for tacos. It is a wonderful tool for chopping ground beef really finely while cooking. This is a great product with only one big flaw (more on that later).
