Devices and methods to disintegrate foods

A device to separate comestibles into constituent components, comprising:

• a housing, including an inlet leading to a power rotated shredder,
• the power rotated shredder configured to deliver shredding comestibles, delivered through the inlet, into constituent components,
• a first power rotated sieve configured to receive constituent components from the shredder, and allow a first portion of the constituent components to pass through the first power rotated sieve into a reservoir,
• a second power rotated sieve, interchangeable with the first power rotated sieve, the second power rotated sieve, when replacing the first power rotated sieve, configured to receive constituent components from the shredder element, and allow a second portion of constituent components to pass through the second power rotated sieve into the reservoir,
• the second portion of constituent components including suspended particles, and, suspended particles in the first portion of constituent components when present, the suspended particles contained in the second portion of constituent components being larger than the suspended particles contained in the first portion of constituent components.

• the power rotated shredder configured to shred comestibles delivered through the inlet, into constituent components,
• a rotating sieve configured to receive constituent components from the shredder, and allow a first portion of the constituent components to pass through the rotating sieve and into a reservoir,
• an insert configured to be inserted into the inlet restrict a size of objects which can pass through the inlet,
• the housing including a switch configured to detect when the insert is disposed in the inlet, and when the switch detects the insert disposed in the inlet, the switch being configured to, upon detection of the insert, enable power rotated shredder, the switch being further configured, upon no detection of the insert, to disable power to the power rotated shredder.

• the power rotated shredder configured to shred comestibles delivered through the inlet, into constituent components,
• a power rotated sieve configured to receive constituent components from the shredder, and allowing a first portion of the constituent components to pass through the power rotated sieve into a reservoir,
• an outlet, configured to empty the first portion of constituent components from the reservoir,
• a pliable blocker, bridging the inlet, and configured to flex out of the way of receiving comestibles passing through the inlet to the power rotated shredder,
• the pliable blocker configured to flex back to bridge the inlet, before and after comestibles pass through the pliable blocker,
• wherein the pliable blocker assists to prevent pieces of comestibles shredded by the power rotated shredder, from ricocheting off the power rotated shredder as projectiles.

• an elevating member, configured to rest on a supporting horizontal surface,
• the elevating member, further configured to mount the housing at a first distance above a supporting horizontal surface, the elevating member, further configured to mount the housing at a second distance above the supporting horizontal surface, wherein the second distance is greater than the first distance.
