Abstract: A storage caddy (12) for storing food processor assembly components includes an upper platform (14) that defines an upper aperture (16), and a lower platform (18) that defines a lower aperture (20). A side interior receiving space (26) in communication with the upper and lower apertures (16, 20). The side wall (22) further includes an exterior surface (28) opposite the interior surface (24). A retention feature (38) is coupled to the exterior surface (28) of the side wall (22). A guide post (208) extends upward from the upper platform (14).

Abstract: A food processing device (10) includes a drive assembly coupled to a dualaction cutting tool (20) and a single-action dicing tool (40). First and second cutting assemblies (51, 52) are disposed on the cutting tool (20) and are adapted to make first and second cuts in a food substrate as the cutting tool (20) rotates within a food processing path (26). The cutting tool (20) is further adapted to urge the cut food substrate towards and through the dicing tool (40) where generally parallel spaced-apart blades (66) further cut the food substrate to form diced food elements. The sequential cutting arrangement of the cutting tool (20) and the dicing tool (40) provides for a food processing device (10) that is capable of dicing a food substrate with lower torque and lower power requirements as compared to conventional dicing methods.
