A cover (1) has a base (2) to which a vessel (5) can be nonrotatably attached and a cap (3) which is rotatable relative to the base (2) and has, via a gear (4) arranged in the cover (1) and having a transmission ratio of 4:1, an operative connection to a shaft (6) which is rotatably mounted in the v

A cover (1) has a base (2) to which a vessel (5) can be nonrotatably attached and a cap (3) which is rotatable relative to the base (2) and has, via a gear (4) arranged in the cover (1) and having a transmission ratio of 4:1, an operative connection to a shaft (6) which is rotatably mounted in the vessel (5) and carries two blades (7a,b) which are staggered axially relatively to one another and are provided in each case with cutting edges (8) on both longitudinal edges. After the vessel has been filled with material to be cut and has been connected, the apparatus can be picked up and tilted and used for uniform comminution of material to be cut, in particular vegetables, by mutual rotation of the vessel (5) and of the base (2), on the one hand, and of the cap (3), on the other hand, with alternately opposite directions of rotation. It is particularly suitable for uniform cutting of onions into small cubes.
