An adjustable blade assembly includes a threaded hub coupleable to a drive shaft of a food processor and a slicing plate slidably mounted on the hub. A slicing blade couples to the hub above a first surface of the slicing plate for cutting food introduced into the food processor. A cannulated support collar couples to the hub and includes a plurality of detents. A slicing adjustment sleeve rotatably couples to the hub and to the support collar to move the slicing plate up and down relative to the hub, thus changing a selected distance between the slicing plate and the slicing blade. As the user rotates the slicing adjustment sleeve, a plunger housed inside the slicing adjustment sleeve engages the plurality of detents on the support collar, thus providing tactile feedback to the user and maintaining the slicing blade in the desired position relative to the slicing plate.

A rotary grater includes a grater body with a body arm portion; a rotatable cutting device; a grater plunger with plunger arm portion connected to a plunger head portion; and a lever member pivotably coupled to the plunger arm portion or the body arm portion, the lever member having a first lever end portion and a second lever end portion, the second lever end portion of the lever member being oppositely disposed relative to the first lever end portion, the first lever end portion of the lever member configured to receive an input force applied by a user, and the second lever end portion of the lever member configured to apply an output force against a bearing wall of the grater body or the grater plunger so as to facilitate a compressing of the workpiece between the plunger head portion and the rotatable cutting device while grating the workpiece.

The present disclosure discloses a multifunctional kitchen utensil matched with an electric drill. The multifunctional kitchen utensil matched with the electric drill comprises a grating board, an inner container and an outer container; the grating board and the bottom of the inner container are detachably connected; and the inner container is placed inside the outer container. The outer container is used for placing fruits and vegetables to be grated, and the inner container is used for placing the grated filamentous fruits and vegetables. The grating board is connected to the bottom of the inner container. The present disclosure avoids the dangerous situation that an operator needs to hold the fruits and vegetables to be grated with a hand during grating, and solves the problems of inconvenient collection of the grated filamentous fruits and vegetables and the single function of the grater.

A food cutter induces an operating frame, a push-pull mechanism and an elastic connecting piece. A mounting cavity and a feeding hole are formed in the operating frame; and the push-pull mechanism is mounted in the mounting cavity and connected with the operating frame in a sliding manner. The push-pull mechanism includes a push-pull rack, a stationary knife and a movable knife; the stationary knife is fixedly mounted on the push-pull rack; the movable knife is detachably mounted on the push-pull rack and positioned below the stationary knife; and a discharging hole is formed in the push-pull rack and communicated with the feeding hole and the mounting cavity. One end of the elastic connecting piece is fixedly connected with the operating frame, and the other end is fixedly connected with the push-pull rack.

A food preparation apparatus (2) is provided. The food preparation apparatus comprises: a first food processing unit (10) configured to process a food item to produce a plurality of solid food particles and juice; and a second food processing unit (40) arranged to receive the solid food particles and juice from the first food processing unit and process the juice and solid food particles to produce a substantially homogenous food product, wherein the first food processing unit (10) is adjustable in order to selectively vary the proportion of the produced solid food particles that pass from the first food processing unit into the second food processing unit (40).

A grating device is for grating a substantially solid product capable of being grated. A first housing of the grating device is positioned, shaped and sized for encasing the product to be grated. A second housing is operatively connectable to the first housing, the second housing having a loading section configured for receiving the product to be grated. A grating drum is rotatably mountable about the second housing, and positioned, shaped and sized for grating the product from the loading section of the second housing via rotation of the grating drum against the product. A biasing assembly is operatively cooperable with the first housing for biasing the product to be grated inside the loading section of the second housing towards and against the grating drum.
