ABSTRACT:
A lettuce and vegetable cutting device structured to section a head of lettuce or the like into a plurality of lengths or sections each having a different cross section for variety in appearance and edibility. The device includes a tubular cylindrical upright frame, a cutting grid, and a ram or pusher. The frame is structured to retain, or have connected at a mid point within the upright length of the frame, the cutting grid in a horizontal orientation. The cutting grid includes a plurality of connected, edgewise upright cutting blades each having upwardly facing cutting edges which define a plurality of non-uniform apertures. The ram is utilized to exert downward pressure on the head of lettuce atop the cutting grid and within the frame thus forcing the lettuce head downwardly through the cutting grid. The frame extends upwardly above the cutting grid to laterally constrain the lettuce head. Structure is also provided for properly orienting and guiding the ram in its downward travel within the frame. The lower surface of the ram may also include grid recesses or grooves into which the cutting blades matably fit to both insure full sectioning of the lettuce head and to also optionally prevent contact and dulling of the blades against the ram.
