A meat tendering machine particularly adapted to keep most of the blood within the meat and including a safety feature protecting against undesired access to the meat tendering rollers. This meat tendering machine includes a base, a hollow column mounted on the base, a casing projecting in cantilever fashion from the hollow column, a pair of meat tendering rollers in the casing and removably engaging with a drive in the hollow column, and meat tendering teeth on the periphery of the rollers. The meat tendering teeth of each roller are disposed in a plurality of annular rows, the teeth in any one row being spaced from one another circumferentially of the roller by intervening notches having a convex bottom coinciding with the cylindrical outer face of the roller, the teeth of each second row being in substantial register longitudinally of the roller, the teeth of any one row being in substantial register with the notches of adjacent rows longitudinally of the roller, the several rows being spaced from one another longitudinally of the roller by an intervening annular zone. The teeth of one roller are staggered relative to the teeth of the other roller, such that the teeth of one roller engage the annular zone of the other roller, and vice versa. The teeth of one roller, when engaging said annular zones of the other roller, are in register with the teeth of the other roller longitudinally of the rollers, the teeth of the two rollers cooperatively formed with the annular zones, meat holding cavities in which the meat is not subjected to the compression effect of the teeth, and wherein the blood from the compressed meat zones can flow.
