Potato dicing device

Abstract

A dicing device for potatoes and the like adapted to be rested upon the top edge of a pail and having cutting wire portions through which a soft boiled potato is first sliced into horizontally sliced layers while passing onto a grated area and thereafter pushing the sliced layers through grated meshed cutting wires of a horizontal portion to form diced cubes of the potato as they are delivered to the underlying pail. The device generally comprises a horizontal frame portion having mesh cutting wire lengths and a raised portion extending upwardly from the forward end of the horizontal portion with layer cutting wire lengths and through which the full potato is passed to deposit the sliced layers upon the horizontal mesh grating portion. All cutting wires are a solitary wire threaded between opposite sides and ends of the frame portions and wound upon a tightening screw. A top platform assembly will be releasably mounted upon the raised portion with depressible platforms, respectively extending forwardly and rearwardly to support the potato on being pushed through the raised cutting wire portion and to serve a pusher plate for forcing the sliced potato layers through the meshed horizontal portion and into the underlying pail.
