A food cutting assembly is described. The food cutting assembly includes a container with an open top configured to receive a food product, a food cutting device configured to fit closely inside of the container and cut the food product, and a lid configured to engage the opening of the container to cover the container. The container and lid are made from a material that is microwave, oven, and dishwasher safe. The lid has a plurality of holes proximate its edge for draining water from the food. The food cutting device includes a peripheral frame structure defining an aperture therein, a plurality of cutting members each having an edge for cutting food, located within the support structure and arranged in a lattice across the aperture to define sections between the cutting members, and one or more handles affixed to the peripheral frame structure. The cutting members are disposed vertically within the aperture, with their edges arranged in a plane proximate the bottom of the food cutting device.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for cutting flatbread. One of the systems includes a lifting platform configured to move in a first direction to remove a flatbread stack from a conveyor along an axis, which conveyor transports the flatbread stack along a longitudinal axis that is substantially perpendicular to the axis; a transport arm configured to a) move in a first direction along the longitudinal axis to remove the flatbread stack from the lifting platform, and b) move in a second direction along the longitudinal axis to place the flatbread stack on a cutting pedestal; and the cutting pedestal configured to receive the flatbread stack from the transport arm and to support the flatbread stack for a subsequent cutting operation.

An objective of the present invention is to provide users with an apparatus, that can cut and seal a sandwich in multiple shapes. It is an aim of the present invention to provide a sandwich maker that comprises a semi-transparent or transparent material, which enables users to see and monitor the sandwich, as the crusts of the bread are being cut and the sandwich sealed. Further, the present invention comprises multiple pieces and shapes that serve specific purposes, the functions of which may be performed mutually exclusively. Furthermore, the sealing piece of the present invention has an oblique inner surface, that compresses the upper piece of the sandwich compactly, without creating any cracks or spillage of the filling. Thus, the present invention enables users to have a perfectly sealed, spill proof, and aesthetically appealing sandwich with a slight dome shape.

The invention relates to the food industry. A method includes generating, via a server of a system, a selected order for processing by a control computer, as a result of which the necessary food base, which is located in a refrigerating unit, is sent to a first transport device where specific food ingredients are added in a prescribed manner, said ingredients being released from containers mounted above the first transport device. After this, the partially finished product is transferred to a second transport device, and, while moving along it, is baked to a finished condition in a baking unit. Then the baked product is transferred to a packaging sub-system which is connected to a sub-system for temporary storage and dispensing of the finished and packaged product.

The present disclosure describes an ultrasonic rotary molding system that is used to form edible compositions or food products as they move along a conveyor belt. The food products are formed by an ultrasonic rotary wheel that includes one or more cutting tools that cut, and perhaps three dimensionally mold, food product strips. The system may include a movable backing plate that is located below the point where the ultrasonic rotary wheel cuts the food product strips. The movable backing plate may be spring loaded and it may exert force upwards against the conveyor belt and in turn against the food product.
