Abstract: A device and method for incising a cylindrical shaped meat product in which a motor rotates a tubular shaped cutter housing around the longitudinal axis of the tubular housing. Inclined blades are mounted on the inner surface of the cutter housing. An injector transports the meat product into the rotating cutter housing inlet at a velocity V1 and an ejector transports the incised meat product from the rotating cutter housing at velocity V3. In operation, a cylindrical meat product is inserted into the injector which prevents the meat product from rotating and transports it into the rotating blades that incise a pattern of helical spiral cuts into the surface of the meat product. The action of the blades upon the meat product pushes the meat product along the longitudinal axis at a velocity V2. An ejector prevents the meat product from rotating and transports the incised meat product from the cutting blades. The incising device maintains velocities V1, V2 and V3 equal to prevent subjecting the meat product to longitudinal stresses.

Abstract: A tool for incising a cylindrical shaped meat product with superficial spiral cuts includes a tubular shaped base which is formed with a lumen and which has an inner surface and an outer surface. A plurality of cutting blades are mounted on the base to protrude inwardly from the inner surface. Further, the blades are inclined at an angle .alpha. relative to the longitudinal axis of the tool. A grip can be formed on the outer surface of the tool. In its operation, the meat product, such as a hot dog, is inserted into the lumen of the tool, and rotated while it is being advanced through the lumen. The result is a pattern of spiral incisions which are cut into the meat product and which extend along the length of the product.
