The invention relates to a foodstuff comminution system having a foodstuff comminution device having a main part which has a receptacle for a cutter part, and having an activation part which is connected in an articulated manner to the main part and which, for squeezing foodstuff material to be comminuted through a cutter part inserted in the receptacle, is pivotable from a placing position towards the cutter part to a closing position and subsequently from the closing position back to the placing position. The foodstuff comminution system is distinguished by an additional comminution tool which is capable of being secured in an operating position on the foodstuff comminution device, wherein the additional comminution tool in the operating position, conjointly with at least one component of the foodstuff comminution device, forms a mandolin slicer or a grater and the foodstuff comminution device provides a sliding track, or at least one part of the sliding track, of the mandolin slicer or of the grater, foodstuff material which is to be comminuted by means of the mandolin slicer or the grater being capable of being guided back and forth on said sliding track.

A cutting device (1) for cutting an edible product (3) into pieces, the cutting device (1) including a base frame (5), a main receiving area (7) for receiving the edible product (3) to be cut, a main pushing assembly (9) for selectively pushing the edible product (3) to be cut, and a main cutting assembly (13) disposed about the base frame (5), for receiving and cutting the edible product (3) into a series of main cuts, via an array of holes (15), provided by a main cutting interface (17). The cutting device (1) further includes a preliminary cutting assembly (19) removably mountable about the base frame (5) for first receiving and cutting the edible product (3) into a series of preliminary cuts, via an array of holes (21) provided by a preliminary cutting interface (23), prior to insertion of the edible product (3) into the main receiving area (7), wherein the edible product (3) is ultimately cut into a series of pieces resulting from the passage of the edible product (3) through at least one of said main and preliminary cutting interfaces (17,23) of the two different cutting assemblies (13,19) of the cutting device (1).

Among other things, there are disclosed embodiments of a cutting device for foods, having two opposed handles and a grid of filaments connected to them. In particular embodiments, a spindle within one handle allows the grid to be wound around it. The spindle may be biased, e.g. with a spring, and may include holding or braking mechanisms to hold the grid in a desired configuration.

The invention relates to a foodstuff comminution system having a foodstuff comminution device having a main part which has a receptacle for a cutter part, and having an activation part which is connected in an articulated manner to the main part and which for squeezing foodstuff material to be comminuted through a cutter part inserted in the receptacle is pivotable from a placing position towards the cutter part to a closing position and subsequently from the closing position back to the placing position. The foodstuff comminution system is distinguished by an additional comminution tool which is capable of being secured in an operating position on the foodstuff comminution device and which has a fastening portion as well as a tool portion, wherein the fastening portion in the operating position is jammed in a form-fitting manner between the main part and the activation part and wherein the tool portion in the operating position is disposed outside the receptacle.

The invention relates to a foodstuff comminution system having a foodstuff comminution device which is configured as a hand-held apparatus, having a main part which has a receptacle for a cutter part, and having an activation part which is connected in an articulated manner to the main part and which for squeezing foodstuff material to be comminuted through a cutter part inserted in the receptacle is pivotable from a placing position towards the cutter part to a closing position and subsequently from the closing position back to the placing position. The foodstuff comminution system is distinguished by an additional comminution tool which is capable of being secured in a non-destructive releasable manner in an operating position on the foodstuff comminution device and which has a fastening portion as well as a tool portion, wherein the tool portion in the operating position is disposed outside the receptacle and outside the pivoting range of the activation part.

The invention relates to a foodstuff comminution system having a foodstuff comminution device having a main part which has a receptacle for a cutter part, and having an activation part which is connected in an articulated manner to the main part and which for squeezing foodstuff material to be comminuted through a cutter part inserted in the receptacle is pivotable from a placing position towards the cutter part to a closing position and subsequently from the closing position back to the placing position, wherein the foodstuff comminution device has a coupling device for coupling to a container. The foodstuff comminution system is distinguished by an additional comminution tool which is capable of being secured in an operating position on the foodstuff comminution device and which has a further coupling device for coupling to a container.

The invention relates to a food comminution device having a base part, which has a receptacle for a cutting insert with at least one cutting blade, and having an actuation part, which is articulatedly connected to the base part and which, for pushing through food items for comminution, can be pivoted towards the cutting insert. The food comminution device is characterized in that a cutting insert with mutually spatially separate cutting regions, said cutting regions being separated from one another by an intermediate web, or a cutting insert with an uninterrupted cutting blade arrangement, in particular a cutting blade arrangement which is not interrupted by an intermediate web, or multiple separate cutting inserts simultaneously, in particular cutting inserts each with a separate frame, can be selectively fitted into the receptacle and used.
