Patent ID: 11166597

Abstract:
An interdependent pair of kitchen tools designed for cutting, shearing, gouge cutting, or shredding specific meat and fibrous vegetables such as squash and slow cooked meats, along with leafy greens, deli meats, and hardboiled eggs. The tools exist as two forklike subassemblies, each comprised of respective distal handles, distal tine arrays, and pivotally enabled geometries. The subassemblies exist in two functional states allowing for two food conversion user modalities. The first functional state exists as a disconnected state amongst the subassemblies wherein the first user modality features opposing linear forces levied from respective subassemblies onto foods residing on a horizontal surface. The second functional state exists as a pivotally interconnected state amongst the subassemblies, whereby the second user modality features opposing pivotal mechanical forces levied from interconnected subassemblies onto foods residing on a horizontal surface or alternately contained within a custom food containment assembly existing as part of this disclosure.
