Abstract: A juicer includes a container, a crank, a strainer, and a reamer. The strainer includes a floor having a plurality of through-holes, and a peripheral sidewall. The container has a pair of spouts, each configured to selectively support a crank support formed in the strainer. The reamer is supported above the strainer and coupled to the crank for rotation by the crank so that juice expressed from a fruit will flow down the reamer to the strainer, with pulp being captured by the strainer while juice flows through the through-holes provided in the strainer and into the container.

Abstract: A juicer includes a container with a spout and a central support pillar extending upwardly from a floor of the container. A strainer having a handle and a reamer is configured to be removably supported by the container and the central pillar. The strainer is mounted for rotation by grasping the handle and rotating the strainer with respect to the container so that juice expressed from a fruit will flow down the reamer to the strainer, with pulp being captured by the strainer while juice flows through the through-holes provided in the strainer and into the container.

Abstract: An onion chopper includes container, a blade tray, and pivoting lid. The blade tray is removably mounted on an upper rim of the container and includes a sweeper positioned at one end of the blade tray. The sweeper is dimensioned to fit within the sidewalls forming the container to be used to clear chopped food bits from the container after they are cut by the grid of blades.

Abstract: A mandoline slicer includes a slicing blade between a runout ramp and a platen defining an adjustable slicing ramp. A set of cubing blades is selectively movable between extended and retracted positions, extendable through slots formed in the runout ramp. A pusher is configured for 90 degree rotational movement to allow perpendicular cutting by the cubing blades before slicing by a main blade.

Abstract: A hand-held slicing device having a handle connected to a slicing tray. The slicing tray includes a ramp leading to a fixed blade. The ramp is readily adjustable such that the height of the edge of the ramp most closely adjacent the blade can be raised or lowered. In one version, the ramp can be raised or lowered by sliding a support structure connected to a knob that can be slideably adjusted by the user's thumb. The device may include a series of julienne blades that are selectively extendable above the slicing ramp or retractable below the ramp.

Abstract: An onion chopper includes a food reservoir supporting a blade tray and having a lid attached for pivotal movement toward and away from the lid and blade tray. The lid includes at least one grid of projections configured to push through a corresponding grid of blades in the blade tray to chop the onion. A cleaning grid is provided for attachment to the grid of blades. The grid of blades forms a peripheral skirt surrounding a lower container for collecting bits of chopped onion or other foods.

Abstract: A mandolin slicer includes a blade assembly suitable for making spiral cut slices, including a frame having a pair of opposing frame sidewalls and a downwardly extending lower support, a slicing ramp positioned at a first end of the mandolin slicer and between the pair of frame sidewalls, a runout plate positioned at a second end of the mandolin slicer and between the pair of frame sidewalls, and a blade assembly positioned between the pair of frame sidewalls.

Abstract: A mandoline slicer includes a slicing blade and an adjustable slicing ramp. A series of julienne blades is selectively movable between a stowed and a deployed position above the ramp. At a distal end of the ramp, a blade support is positionable to select either of a plurality of slicing blades.

Abstract: A nut chopper includes an upper hopper, a lower container, and a grate positioned between the hopper and container. A series of parallel blades supported on an axle and coupled to a crank is positioned so that the blades may be rotated through the grate. As the blades pass through the grate, they chop the nuts that are in the path of the blades. Once individual nuts are chopped into sizes that are smaller than the width of the openings formed in the grate, the chopped portions will fall through the grate and into the container.

Abstract: A dressing shaker includes a container body having a spout. An internal mixing element is carried on an axle for sliding motion up and down the length of the rod, within the container. By shaking or inverting the container, the mixing element travels back and forth along the rod, mixing the dressing.
