A hand operable juicer having a handle extending from beneath a juice receptacle is described. The handle has a drive link end that couples with a drive mechanism to rotate a drive shaft that extends up through a drive shaft conduit and couples with a pulping crown. Gear and crank type drive mechanisms are described. In some embodiments of the invention, the drive mechanism is configured to provide a rotational advantage, whereby a certain degree of rotation of the handle around the pulping crown rotational axis produces a higher degree of rotation of the pulping crown. The hand operable juicer described is easy to operate and easy to clean.

A chopping system generally includes a container having a bottom wall and a sidewall together defining a cavity. The sidewall has a rim, and the bottom wall has an upper surface with a central area having an entirely smooth contour. The system also includes a drive assembly configured for mounting on the rim to cover the cavity, and the system further includes a working assembly comprising at least one working member configured for operative attachment to the drive assembly such that, when the drive assembly is mounted on the rim, the working member is disposed within the cavity. The system further includes a base attached to the working assembly such that the working member is rotatable relative to the base. The base has a bottom surface that substantially mirrors the contour of the upper surface within the central area so as to be seated substantially flush thereagainst.

The egg-cracking fixture has a base portion adapted for conformal integration with the sidewall of the skillet, and further has a tapered body that extends away from the base to define sloping side walls and an elongated egg cracking ridge. The ridge is thus disposed within the confines of the skillet, generally above the pan bottom and inwardly from the rim. The egg-cracking fixture can be attached to the skillet in a variety of ways, including different removably attaching ways to allow the user to choose from among fixtures of different egg-cracking profiles.

A device for cracking eggs is provided. The device has a generally flat blade portion secured to an arched base portion. The generally flat blade portion is used to cut or crack the egg. The generally flat blade portion is perpendicularly secured to the arched base portion wherein the arched base portion mirrors the arc of the exterior surface of an average egg. A user uses the generally flat blade portion to strike the egg. The arched base portion stops the generally flat blade portion from penetrating the egg past a predetermined point. In some embodiments, a padded attachment or a spring loaded contact surface may be secured to the arched base portion and may prevent the device from over-cutting or cracking the egg. In alternative embodiments, the back of the arched base portion has a loop for securing a finger. Finally, a handle may be secured to the arched base portion to easily grasp the device.

The present disclosure relates to an egg preparation apparatus. Exemplary implementations may facilitate preparing eggs by using one or more of a platform, a first container, a first container mount, a second container, a second container mount, an egg scorer, an egg scorer mount, a scoring edge, a storage compartment, a slide-out drawer, an egg separator, one or more platform attachment mounts, and/or other components. The platform may be configured to removably couple with one or more of a first container, a second container, and/or an egg scorer. The first container may be configured to receive one or more of egg whites, egg yolks, and/or other ingredients. The second container may be configured to receive one or more egg shells and/or other waste. The egg scorer may be configured to facilitate one or more of cutting, scoring, cracking, and/or other methods of opening egg shells.

A motorised citrus press has a reamer and an actuating arm. The arm supports a fruit dome. The movement of the arm causes the activation of a first switch and the reamer is associated with a second switch. The motor receives electrical power only when both the first and second switches cooperate.
