ABSTRACT:

The present invention relates to a system for the in-situ preparation of crudités from whole vegetables or vegetables in pieces.
It is generally known that the preparation of this type of food product raises a number of problems, especially in catering.
The problem is that food products of this type are usually prepared well before consumption and, by the time they are presented to potential consumers, their appearance and/or palatability have become poorer.
At the same time there has been a trend for some years now for consumers to demand that their products be as fresh as possible.
The object of the invention is therefore to propose a system of preparation that will solve these problems.
To this end, the subject of the invention is a system for the in-situ preparation of crudités from whole vegetables or vegetables in pieces, characterized in that it comprises at least one unit comprising:
at least one area for holding, and presenting to the public, containers prefilled with vegetables and equipped with means for cutting them, and
at least one work station constructed to hold at least one of the containers and fitted with means for driving the cutting means of the container in order to cut the vegetables up in the form of crudités, and with means for holding the resulting crudités,
and in that the cutting means and the drive means comprise complementary coupling means for when the container is loaded into the work station.
