Abstract A device for simultaneously tenderizing and interspersing seasoning and tenderizing materials in meat, which employs a body having a combination handle and reservoir for seasoning and tenderizing materials on the top thereof and which includes a rigid head having sockets or the equivalent for detachably receiving a multiplicity of prongs or penetration blades. The foregoing structure is combined with a series of liquid or powder passages or ports communicating the contents of said reservoir with the side and peripheral portions of the blades whereby reciprocation of the entire device will not only penetrate and spread tissues and fibers of the meat but, by wiping action in downward and upward reciprocations, will intersperse and spread a tenderizing or seasoning material throughout the thickness of the meat.
