Abstract

See full text

A culinary tool is provided including a handle and a housing that pivot relative to one another during a forward stroke of the handle to incrementally move, and optionally ratchet, a ram within the housing toward a cutting grid, thereby extruding food through the cutting grid. A cutting blade, joined with the handle distal from the pivot, travels along a blade path near the cutting grid to mince the extruded food. The blade can be joined with the handle at a cantilevered connection, and can be flexible so that as it moves along the blade path, a portion of the blade flexes to allow the blade to cut the extruded food material without binding as the blade moves across the cutting grid. The blade can include one or more sledded feet that project outwardly from the blade and that guide the blade near the cutting grid in a non-binding manner.
