Inherited a box of utensils and this scary-looking clamp was inside. It opens like scissors but has spiked plates on the ends. Looks medical?

That’s not medical at all — it’s a meat tenderizer clamp (sometimes called a scissor-style steak tenderizer).

🥩 Scissor Meat Tenderizer

What It Does

The two square plates with pyramid spikes are designed to:

  • Grip a piece of meat

  • Press and pierce the surface fibers

  • Break down tough muscle tissue

You squeeze the handles like scissors and clamp down on the meat. The spikes puncture it evenly, helping:

  • Tenderize tougher cuts

  • Allow marinades to penetrate better

  • Reduce cooking time
