Abstract
Tuna Spinner—in the application of small electrical kitchen appliances—is a small wire mesh or perforated plastic basket that fits within the outer bowl unit of current and/or future food processors, (or an appliance of it's own with motorized base and outer bowl unit) and replacing the blade unit, that allows the ‘spinning’ of oil or water from typical canned tuna or salmon, or other food product packaged in liquid suspension. Tuna Spinner takes the ‘hassle’ out of messy draining of these food products, as well as eliminating damage to the food product.
Claims1
What I claim as my invention is the Tuna Spinner;
- in the area of small electrical kitchen appliances, an addition to the current and/or future food processing units, or a small appliance of it's own. Tuna Spinner is the name applied to a small wire mesh or perforated plastic basket that would fit within the solid outer bowl of current food processing units, and upon the area where the blade unit normally fits;
- and/or this mesh basket with it's own outer bowl and motorized unit. In either case, it is the wire mesh or perforated plastic inner basket applied in the manner described above that is the subject of my invention and for which a patent is sought, a product which to my knowledge does not exist. Tuna Spinner would perform what the name implies, ‘spinning tuna’—within the mesh basket upon the motorized base, the liquid to be discarded contained within the solid outer bowl. Tuna Spinner's uses would extend to other food products that are packaged in liquid suspension that require draining before use, allowing ease of more efficient draining of the liquids without damage to the food product. Tuna Spinner is not to be confused with any other ‘spinner’ devise currently on the market, as the tuna spinner is a totally independent and unique invention of it's own, being of different capacity and sizing and designed to be implemented upon a motorized centrifuge base unit.
