Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a manual food-slicing apparatus, comprising: a blade-supporting base; a cutting disk rotatably mounted to the blade-supporting base and comprising a plurality of cutting teeth disposed on an outer periphery thereof; and a food-guiding platform comprising a food-facing surface; wherein the food-guiding platform is pivotably mounted to the blade-supporting base to configure the food-slicing apparatus into a cutting configuration in which the food-facing surface of the food-guiding platform is substantially perpendicular to a cutting plane defined by the cutting teeth and a storage configuration in which the food-facing surface of the food-guiding platform is substantially parallel to the cutting plane. It also concerns a corresponding method.

Abstract: A cutting device for cutting an edible product into several pieces, the cutting device including a base frame, a main receiving area, a main pushing assembly, and a main cutting assembly, for receiving and cutting the edible product into a series of main cuts, via an array of holes, provided by a main cutting interface. The cutting device further includes a preliminary cutting assembly removably mountable about the base frame for first receiving and cutting the edible product into a series of preliminary cuts, via an array of holes provided by a preliminary cutting interface, prior to insertion of the edible product into the main receiving area, wherein the edible product is ultimately cut into a series of pieces resulting from the passage through at least one, and/or both, of the main and preliminary cutting interfaces of the cutting device.

Abstract: 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).
