Meat pricker (salami pricker) with a plastic body and stainless steel pins, a counter tool used in cured meat processing. It is used to pierce the casing of freshly prepared salami, sausages and cured meats, helping trapped air and excess liquid escape during stuffing: a useful step to prevent air pockets from forming and to promote even curing.

• Body: plastic
• Pins: stainless steel
• Use: piercing the casing of salami and cured sausages

In practical use, hold the tool firmly and prick the product with quick, decisive movements without forcing it, to avoid bending the steel pins. It is an inexpensive but useful accessory in artisanal cured meat production, used alongside burger presses and meat tenderizers on the meat processing counter.
