Abstract
The present application relates to an apparatus for processing a food stuff. The apparatus has a housing (), and a cutting tool () rotatably mounted in the housing () having a cutting edge () and a trailing edge (). The cutting tool () is arranged to pass once per revolution through a processing region () in the housing in which a food stuff is receivable, and to pass through a recovery region (). The recovery region is defined in the housing between the trailing edge passing from the processing region and the cutting edge passing into the processing region as the cutting tool rotates, and the cutting tool is free to rotate in the processing region without contacting the food stuff. Therefore, the cutting tool () acts on a food stuff as the cutting tool rotates through the processing region, and recovers the rotational speed lost due to acting on a food stuff in the processing region as the cutting tool () rotates through the recovery region. The present application also relates to a food processor and to a method of processing a food stuff.
