They usually have a screw or hex fitting in the base which allows you
to manually rotate the cutter disk to unjam it. Before poking
anything in make sure the thing is switched OFF. Sometimes waggling
the disc backwards and forwards on the manual rotation thing unjams
it enough to allow it to get going again. You will need to fish
around for the teaspoon in the cauliflower which probably jammed it.
Make sure the damn thing is really off though unless you want
finger&cauliflower soup.

Removing them is fairly easy - there is a locking collar at the top
which frees it from the sink.
