A grinder for grinding or processing food is presented. The grinder has a top for inputting food into the grinder. The grinder has an inner cavity for receiving the inputted food. The inner cavity has a first clip and a second clip for coupling to a hole plate. The hole plate is for grinding or processing the inputted food. The hole plate has a first end, a second end, a first cap, a second cap, a first connecting peg and a second connecting peg. The first cap is coupled to the first end and the first cap is coupled to the first connecting peg. The first connecting peg is removably coupled to the first clip. The second cap is coupled to the second end and the second cap is coupled to the second connecting peg. The second connecting peg is removably coupled to the second clip. The grinder has a motor that is communicatively coupled to a power source. The motor rotating the hole plate to grind or process the food. The grinder may also have one or more lamps to light the work area, further the lamps are preferably LED lamps.

An automatic meat seasoning apparatus for seasoning and tenderizing meat includes a housing having a housing aperture extending through to a cavity. A housing door is coupled to the housing to seal and unseal the housing aperture. A cylindrical drum is coupled to a pair of axles such that the drum is and rotatably coupled within the cavity. The drum has a drum aperture and a plurality of circular seasoning apertures. A drum door is coupled to the drum to close and open the drum aperture. A plurality of spikes is coupled inside the drum to gouge and tenderize a piece of meat placed inside the drum. A motor is coupled through the housing to rotate the drum. A control unit is coupled to the housing to operate the motor.

A tenderizer system, apparatus and method to tenderize meat products and other foods through a cross-cut tenderizing process. This process can be performed by a tenderizer cartridge including at least two shafts in parallel, where a stack of blades are disposed on each shaft and in contact with each other along a respective shaft, each blade including teeth around outer circumferences such that each blade in contact is aligned to form continuous ridges that extend in parallel with the shafts.

The present disclosure describes methods and systems for processing meat products via mechanical tenderization and high-pressure pasteurization in a manner that improves the texture and extends the shelf life of the processed meat. Methods of meat processing may involve mechanically tenderizing the cuts of meat and slicing the cuts of meat into meat products. Methods may also involve packaging the meat products and pasteurizing the meat products under a high pressure. The meat products produced may have an extended shelf life compared to other meat products not mechanically tenderized and pasteurized under high pressure. The high pressure pasteurization, in addition to inactivating microorganisms, may further tenderize the meat products. Methods may also involve marinating the cuts of meat, which can be performed by injecting liquid marinate into the meat via mechanically operated injection needs in some examples. The liquid marinate may include natural enzymes that further tenderize the meat.

A handheld meat tenderizing device is provided. The device is comprised of a first arm and second arm, each with a disc with at least one tenderizing structure extending from each disc. The two arms pivot around a pivot point allowing them to function like a pair of scissors. More specifically, at least one piece of meat can be placed between the disc such that a user can open and close the device to tenderize the meat and prepare it for seasoning and cooking via repeated impacts of the tenderizing structures on the meat.
