Method, device and measuring device for cutting open foodstuff
First Claim
1. A mount and blade for slicing food comprising:
- i. a blade having;
a blade edge,a circular aperture having a center point, anda plurality of bores,ii. a mount;
wherein a diameter of the circular aperture, D, is at least 240 mm and at most 360 mm;
wherein the blade edge has a radius, R, measured from the center point of the circular aperture to the blade edge,wherein R is between 250 and 550 mm;
wherein the blade including the mount has a weight that is at most 23 kg;
wherein the ratio of R/D is less than 2.0 for every point on the blade edge,wherein the bores are asymmetrically arranged around the circular aperture so that the blade can be mounted on the mount in only a single position, andwherein the blade edge is rotationally non-symmetrical and extends less than about three quarters around a circumference of the circular aperture.

Abstract
New methods, devices and measuring devices for slicing food are required for solving problems that occur with existing methods and devices and/or for reacting to changes to the food product being sliced. The devices include a blade for slicing food comprising a blade edge and a recess. The recess has a center point and may be employed for mounting and centering the blade on a slicing device. At least one dimension, D, of the recess is a length or diameter of the recess and preferably is at least 140 mm and at most 450 mm. The blade edge preferably has a radius, R, measured from the blade edge to the center point of the recess. The ratio of R/D preferably is less than 2.0 for every point on the blade edge.
