Abstract: A food cutting utensil, (e.g., a rotary pizza cutter) includes a disc and a handle that are selectively connectable together. The disc has a first side, a second side and a central through bore that is substantially aligned with an axis of the disc. A rim projects from the first side of the disc about the through bore. The handle has a first portion for being gripped by a hand while being used as a cutting utensil, and a second portion for rotatably supporting the disc. The second portion has a first arm and a second arm. The first arm has an axially projecting hub that is received in the through bore when the handle is connected to the disc.

Abstract: A method of forming a container from a folded, flat, unitary blank of foldable sheet material includes placing a plurality of folded, flat, unitary blanks of foldable sheet material in at least one stack. One of the folded flat blanks is removed from the at least one stack. The removed folded, flat blank is moved from the folded, flat position to an assembled, closure flap open position.

Abstract: A container is formed from a unitary blank of foldable sheet material. The container includes a base wall and a first closure flap foldably attached to the base wall along a first edge thereof. A rear wall is foldably attached to the base wall along a second edge thereof. The second edge has a first end adjacent to the first edge. A top wall is foldably attached to the rear wall. A front wall is foldably attached to the top wall. The closure flap comprises a side wall that is foldably attached to the base wall and a locking flap that is foldably attached to the side wall along a locking flap fold line. The locking flap has a free edge opposite to the fold line. The free edge is arcuate for at least a portion of its length. The arcuate portion is curved inwardly toward the locking flap fold line.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for making pizza includes a housing and a plurality of canisters containing fresh dough stored in the housing. A cutting blade is disposed in the housing and is moveable between an upper limit position and a lower limit position to cut a slice of dough from one of the plurality of canisters. A press plate is disposed in the housing and receives the slice of dough. The press plate includes a first plate and a second plate that selectively move into engagement with each other to define an internal chamber therebetween to press flat and preheat the slice of dough. A rotary index table station is disposed in the housing and includes a plurality of plates, with each of the plates being rotatable about a central axis of the rotary index table station. Preheated pizza crust is deposited on the plates. Each of the plates is then moveable between an innermost radial position and an outermost radial position.
