A fruit pitter includes a frame, a fruit holder supported by the frame, and a lid and a pusher plate each pivotally attached to the frame. The fruit holder has a hole formed therethrough. The lid is moveable between a fully closed position adjacent to the fruit holder and a fully open position away from the fruit holder. A cutting rod depending from the lid passes through the fruit holder hole when the lid is moved from the fully open position to the fully closed position. The lid and the pusher plate rotate relative to the frame about a common rotational axis. The pusher plate is located between the fruit holder and the lid, and the cutting rod passes through the pusher plate as the lid is moved between the fully closed position and the fully open position.

Disclosed is a deseeding apparatus comprising a plurality of receptacles, each of which for receiving a seeded fruit therewithin, a plurality of vertical, elongate plungers, each of which axially movable between a default top and a bottom position, each plunger, as a result of the movement thereof from the top position to the bottom position, plunges through a fruit disposed within the receptacle thereof resulting in the fruit being deseeded at which point, the deseeded fruit clings onto the plunger as the plunger moves from the bottom position to the top position, a horizontal separator bar comprising a plurality of separator holes, each of which surrounding a plunger so that, as a plunger moves to the top position, the deseeded fruit clinging thereto is pushed against the separator plate resulting in the deseeded fruit being disengaged from the plunger, and a collect container for collecting the disengaged deseeded fruits.

A food processor includes a bowl with a removable lid. Food items are advanced into the bowl through a feed tube formed in the lid where they are cut by a blade assembly. A rotating disk is adjustable relative to the blade assembly to vary the thickness of the food items cut by the blade assembly. A user-operated pin is positioned below the rotating disk and is moveable between a first position in which the rotating disk is prevented from moving upwardly and downwardly, and a second position in which the rotating disk is permitted to move upwardly and downwardly.
