Abstract: 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.

Abstract: The invention relates to a food comminution device which is designed to be placed on a worktop for a comminution operation, having an actuation part and having a base part which has a cutting part, wherein the base part and the actuation part are articulatedly connected such that the actuation part can, for pushing through food items to be comminuted, be pivoted from a loading position toward the cutting part into a closed position and subsequently from the closed position back into the loading position. The food comminution device is characterized in that the food comminution device has at least one drive device, in particular a spring drive, for assisting or effecting the pivoting movement from the closed position into the loading position and/or from the loading position into the closed position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a food comminution device having a base part, which bears a cutting part, and having an actuation part, which actuation part is articulatedly fixed to the base part and can be pivoted from a loading position toward the cutting part into a closed position in order to push food items for comminution through the cutting part and can subsequently be pivoted from the closed position into the loading position again.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the comminution of foodstuffs having a macerator which is couplable with a drive unit and with a receiving container. Over and above this, the device for the comminution of foodstuffs comprises a movable coupling means which, when the receiving container is coupled with the macerator, is situated in a first position and when it is uncoupled is situated in a second position.
