Abstract:
A hand operated food grinding apparatus comprising:a. a base member having an upper surface made of a series of parallel ridges separated by a series of parallel grooves wherein each of the parallel ridges has a flat upper surface; b. said base member having a wall on said upper surface to provide a barrier for food items placed on said upper surface; c. a top member having a lower surface made of a series of parallel ridges separated by parallel grooves wherein each of the parallel ridges has a flat lower surface; d. said top designed to fit within said base so that the lower surface of said top member abuts against the upper surface of said base member so that any food item placed within said base member is compressed and ground by a grinding action between the top member and the base member; and e. each respective ridge of the base member is aligned with a respective ridge of a top member so that any food item placed between the lower surface of the top member and the upper surface of the base member can be coarsely ground.
