Abstract: A trussing apparatus comprises a main portion coupled to opposing end portions. The main portion includes at least one receiving member and at least one support member. A curvature of the at least one receiving member permits various sizes, shapes, and cuts of meat to be disposed in the trussing apparatus. The at least one receiving member has at least one hook-like formation configured to cooperate with one or more restraining elements to secure at least one piece of meat in the trussing apparatus.
