Abrégé

A manual food slicing apparatus is provided for slicing a food material into food cuts. The apparatus includes a main blade and at least one blade set comprising multiple spaced apart blades being positioned in a row that extends in a transverse direction of a sliding area. The blades are moveable between a cutting position to perform longitudinal cuts in the food material upon sliding the food material against the blade set in a forward displacement direction, and a biased position when the blade set is retracted to avoid cutting the food material when displaced in a rearward displacement. The apparatus can further include a locking mechanism being selectively moveable between a locked position for preventing movement of the blades from the cutting position to the biased position, and an unlocked position for allowing movement of the blades between the cutting position and the biased position.

Abrégé

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.

A grating device is for grating a substantially solid product capable of being grated. A first housing of the grating device is positioned, shaped and sized for encasing the product to be grated. A second housing is operatively connectable to the first housing, the second housing having a loading section configured for receiving the product to be grated. A grating drum is rotatably mountable about the second housing, and positioned, shaped and sized for grating the product from the loading section of the second housing via rotation of the grating drum against the product. A biasing assembly is operatively cooperable with the first housing for biasing the product to be grated inside the loading section of the second housing towards and against the grating drum.

A steaming system is for steaming food. The steaming system including a base component adapted for receiving fluid therein, the base component being adapted to cooperate with a steam generating apparatus configured to heat up said fluid to produce steam. The steaming system also includes at least one steaming component includes a steaming compartment adapted to contain food to be steamed, the at least one steaming component being operatively mounted on the base component and being in fluid communication therewith. The steaming system is operable in a steaming configuration where the components are stacked onto one another to allow circulation of steam from the base component to the steaming compartment. The steaming system is further operable in a storage configuration where the base component is contained within the steaming compartment.
