Apparatus for tenderizing meat that contains fibers, tissues and similar toughening elements and including reciprocable spaced long slender knives with sharp meat penetrating and severing blade ends with means for reciprocating the knives into and from meat penetration. The apparatus particularly includes means for mounting these blades at an angle other than 0 DEG to the direction of movement of a meat conveyor and staggering the blades so that the assembly of blades spans substantially the entire meat carrying portion of the conveyor so that as the blades are reciprocated into and from meat penetration as the conveyor moves the meat in increments all of the toughening elements are severed. |
