A collapsible horizontal vegetable processor comprises a base (1) and a cutter frame holder (13). The cutter frame holder is detachably provided with a replaceable cutter frame (2). The base is provided with a sliding rail mechanism. The base comprises a fixed portion (11) and a collapsible portion (12). The cutter frame holder (13) is arranged on one side of the fixed portion, and the collapsible portion is arranged on the other side of the fixed portion. The sliding rail mechanism is slidably provided with a sliding seat (4). The sliding seat is provided with a sliding seat frame body (5) and a handle (6). Pressing teeth (51) used to fix vegetables and a rotating operation device (52) are arranged at the top of the sliding seat frame body. The sliding seat is driven by the handle to move on the sliding rail mechanism. The base of the vegetable processor is collapsible, thereby greatly reducing an occupied space.

An onion chopper includes container, a blade tray, and pivoting lid. The blade tray is removably mounted on an upper rim of the container and includes a sweeper positioned at one end of the blade tray. The sweeper is dimensioned to fit within the sidewalls forming the container to be used to clear chopped food bits from the container after they are cut by the grid of blades.

A food product cutting system can include a food product carrier for carrying food product circumferentially around an axis of rotation, where the food product carrier includes food cutters each having a knife and a corresponding pusher. Each knife is for receiving and engaging with food product, and each pusher is slidably coupled with a knife and movable for pushing food product out of engagement with the food cutter. The food product cutting system can also include a track oriented generally circularly with respect to the food product carrier. The track can be arranged at varying radial distances from the axis of rotation and coupled with followers. Each follower can be connected to a corresponding pusher. In operation, food product moved into the knife of a food cutter and carried around the axis of rotation is incrementally pushed out of engagement with the food cutter by the corresponding pusher.

A thrust-type food cutting apparatus that includes a blade set, food product pusher, and a manually operated pusher arm having a self-stable resting-open position in which the food product pusher is spaced from the blade set to allow a user to load the cutting apparatus with food product to be cut. In an embodiment, the cutting apparatus includes a chassis and a pivoting link linking the pusher arm to the chassis to provide the pivot arm with a movable fulcrum pivot that enables the self-stable resting-open pusher arm position. A thrust-type food product cutting apparatus of the present disclosure may include a blade set, a food product pusher, and a retractable food product stabilizer that stabilizes food product loaded into the cutting apparatus and retracts as the food product pusher moves toward the blade set. Such a retractable food product stabilizer may be integrated with a self-stabilizing pusher arm mechanism.
