A food cutter has a cutting portion and a movable portion that is movable between a first position in which the movable portion is raised relative to the cutting portion and a second position in which the movable position is lowered relative to the cutting portion. The cutting portion comprises an upstanding wall with a blade formed on a distal end of the upstanding wall. The movable portion is arranged generally traverse to the upstanding wall. A biasing member extends continuously from the upstanding wall to the movable portion. The biasing member urges the movable portion to the first position when the movable portion is moved to the second position.

A cake slicer adapted to cut a cake with a knife comprises a control platform, and a main housing unit formed with a wall extending perpendicular from the centering platform, defining a pair of cutting slots adapted to receive the knife. A centering platform is adapted to receive the cake. Either the control platform or the main housing unit is provided with alignment tabs, and the other defines a series of alignment slots each adapted to receive a corresponding alignment tab so as to hold the main housing unit in a cutting position with respect to the control platform.

The present disclosure describes an ultrasonic rotary molding system that is used to form edible compositions or food products as they move along a conveyor belt. The food products are formed by an ultrasonic rotary wheel that includes one or more cutting tools that cut, and perhaps three dimensionally mold, food product strips. The system may include a movable backing plate that is located below the point where the ultrasonic rotary wheel cuts the food product strips. The movable backing plate may be spring loaded and it may exert force upwards against the conveyor belt and in turn against the food product.

The food cutting assembly includes a container with an open top configured to receive a food product, a food cutting device configured to fit closely inside of the container and cut the food product, and a lid configured to engage the opening of the container to cover the container. The lid has a plurality of holes proximate its edge for draining water from the food. The food cutting device includes a peripheral frame structure defining an aperture therein, a plurality of cutting members each having an edge for cutting food, located within the support structure and arranged in a lattice across the aperture to define sections between the cutting members, and one or more handles affixed to the peripheral frame structure. The cutting members are disposed vertically within the aperture, with their edges arranged in a plane proximate the bottom of the food cutting device.

A food item formation apparatus is disclosed and configured for producing a plurality of uniformly shaped and sized food items from a relatively larger volume of food material. In at least one embodiment, the apparatus provides a cutter and an ejector. During use, with a first end of an at least one ejector body of the ejector slidably positioned within a corresponding at least one cutter body of the cutter, a cutting edge of a first end of the at least one cutter body may be pressed into the food material, forming at least one food item having a cutout shape corresponding to the shape of the cutting edge in cross-section, and a second end of the at least one ejector body may be subsequently pushed, causing an ejector surface of the at least one ejector body to eject the food item from the first end of the cutter body.
