A handheld injector is provided for injecting liquid, such as flavoring or basting material, into meat or poultry. The injector includes a pistol-shaped housing which encloses a battery-powered motor for constant-rate delivery of liquid from a peristaltic pump. The injector also includes a fluid conduit within the housing through which liquid is pumped from a reservoir of liquid to a needle for injection into the meat.

The invention relates to a pickling machine comprising a detection device for detecting if a needle is blocked, damaged and/or broken.

A culinary injection delivery device including a cylindrical housing having an interior volume. The cylindrical housing is opened at both ends. The first opened end has a delivery nozzle attached thereto. The second opened end has a plunger located therein. The plunger is made up of a stick and at least two disks. A first disk located on an end of the stick and a second disk located slightly aft of the first disk. A spring located be the first and second disk is configured to push the first disk forward. The first disk has an extension placed thereon that matches the interior of the delivery nozzle. The spring will push the first disk forward releasing a food product.

The present invention discloses a simple, quick- and intuitively operated larding utensil for interlacing meat with fat. The utensil is made of food-compatible material with dishwasher proof mechanism. The present invention also discloses method of its use and assembly.

An ported marinade injection system useful for injecting flavoring fluids into vacuum-packaged meats. The apparatus may include a package couple, a port support couple, an injection port, a self-sealing port, and a port cover. The apparatus may be used by attaching the package couple and the port support couple to a package, attaching the self-sealing port and the injection port to the port support couple, injecting a marinade or other flavoring, and covering the port to seal the flavoring within the package.

Devices herein are directed to gaseous medium generation and its transfer. This includes transfer, as a non-limiting and non-exhaustive example, of wood smoke to foods.

Devices are also shown which use, steady and/or varying pressure and/or vacuum, optionally in combination with gaseous transfer devices, to prepare foods.

A device shown which uses strong sound waves in the preparation of foods.

A modular device for introducing an edible fluid to a food product includes a dispenser body having a cartridge receiving cavity associated therewith. A dispenser base is coupled or coupleable to the dispenser body, and a dispenser tip is coupled or coupleable to the dispenser base and is in fluid communication with the cartridge receiving cavity when in place. An actuatable piston is operably coupled to the dispenser body in communication with the cartridge receiving cavity. An insertable and removable cartridge is carriable by the dispenser body in the cartridge receiving cavity, and is positionable so as to be in communication with the actuatable piston. An edible fluid is carried by the cartridge, the edible fluid being dispensable to a food product through the dispenser tip when in place as the actuatable piston is actuated to cause the edible fluid to be expelled from the cartridge through the dispensing tip.
