Abstract: A food processor can include a strainer, a sealing gasket, a blade assembly, and a lid. The food processor can be used in combination with a container such as a bowl or a flask, and in combination with an actuator. The actuator can be operated to actuate the blade assembly to rotate within the strainer to chop food items held therein, which can fall through the strainer into the container when they have been sufficiently chopped.

Abstract: A food processor can include a body having a container portion and a food processing drum that is rotatably moveable relative to the body in a first rotary direction and a second rotary direction. The food processing drum can have a first food processing feature that causes a first food processing effect and a second food processing feature that causes a second food processing effect which is different from the first food processing effect. Rotation of the food processing drum in the first rotary direction can cause the first food processing effect and rotation of the food processing drum in the second rotary direction can cause the second food processing effect.
