A food processing device comprising: a base plate comprising a first pivot and a second pivot that are in spaced apart fashion along a length direction of the base plate; a processing element arranged on the base plate for processing food items; and an arm assembly pivotably coupled to the base plate; wherein the arm assembly comprises: a first arm comprising a proximal end portion and a distal end portion, the proximal end portion configured to be pivotally coupled to the base plate by the first pivot to allow pivotal movement of the first arm between a closed position in proximity to the base plate and an open position away from the base plate; wherein the first arm further comprises a squeezer configured to act on the food items that are placed on the processing element to be processed when the first arm is in the closed position, thereby pressing the food items against the processing element; and a second arm pivotally coupled to the distal end portion of the first arm, the second arm comprising a manipulation portion, two opposite bifurcated portions extending from the manipulation portion, and a slot formed through each of the bifurcated portions; characterized in that the second pivot of the base plate is arranged to pass through the slots on the two bifurcated portions in such a way that allows for slidable movement of the two bifurcated portions within the slots in a longitudinal direction of the slots, which slidable movement in turn causes the first arm to pivot between the closed position and the open position, throughout a pivotal movement process of the second arm about the second pivot relative to the base plate. a base plate comprising a first pivot and a second pivot that are in spaced apart fashion along a length direction of the base plate; a processing element arranged on the base plate for processing food items; and an arm assembly pivotably coupled to the base plate; wherein the arm assembly comprises: a first arm comprising a proximal end portion and a distal end portion, the proximal end portion configured to be pivotally coupled to the base plate by the first pivot to allow pivotal movement of the first arm between a closed position in proximity to the base plate and an open position away from the base plate; wherein the first arm further comprises a squeezer configured to act on the food items that are placed on the processing element to be processed when the first arm is in the closed position, thereby pressing the food items against the processing element; and a second arm pivotally coupled to the distal end portion of the first arm, the second arm comprising a manipulation portion, two opposite bifurcated portions extending from the manipulation portion, and a slot formed through each of the bifurcated portions; a first arm comprising a proximal end portion and a distal end portion, the proximal end portion configured to be pivotally coupled to the base plate by the first pivot to allow pivotal movement of the first arm between a closed position in proximity to the base plate and an open position away from the base plate; wherein the first arm further comprises a squeezer configured to act on the food items that are placed on the processing element to be processed when the first arm is in the closed position, thereby pressing the food items against the processing element; and a second arm pivotally coupled to the distal end portion of the first arm, the second arm comprising a manipulation portion, two opposite bifurcated portions extending from the manipulation portion, and a slot formed through each of the bifurcated portions;
