An objective of the apparatus is to enable users to cut, seal, and crimp a sandwich. The apparatus is a sandwich maker that can apply pressure from both sides of the sandwich while sealing and crimping the sandwich, so as to make a perfectly rounded and spill proof sandwich. Additionally, the apparatus includes alignment pointers that enable users to create a crimped sandwich with perfectly crimped edges. Further, the apparatus includes multiple pieces and shapes that serve specific purposes and gives users the option to use them mutually exclusively. Furthermore, each of the different pieces of the apparatus have aesthetically appealing shapes and air gaps in the center, which enables users to release the sandwich easily.

The pizza cutter cleaning, storage, and isolation device may allow a user to store and clean pizza cutters between uses, while also isolating each pizza cutter intended for specific consumers. Such a device may implement a cartridge system, one or more of which may be installed in a main body, into which a single pizza cutter may be placed. The cartridge may be designed to isolate and clean the pizza cutter installed therein, and the pizza cutters themselves may be color-coded, or the cartridges may be color-coded, so as to prevent cross-contamination of the cutters, the pizzas, or the debris picked up when cutting a pizza. The cartridges may further implement a sanitizing bath into which a pizza cutter head may be suspended, or may implement a catch tank for waste debris. The device may further comprise a blade sharpener for additional functionality.

A sandwiching device for creating pocket sandwich-type food, the sandwiching device having a punch, a die to work with the punch to cut foodstuff, and a sealer seated within the die to seal the foodstuff while being cut with the punch and die. The punch can be lowered to press against the die and the sealer. When the foodstuff is placed on the die, pressing the punch against the die and the sealer simultaneously cuts the crust off the foodstuff while sealing the edges to create a pocket sandwich. To facilitate the sealing, the perimeter edge of the sealer may have a scalloped edge.
