Abstract:

Apparatus usable in slicing food. The apparatus includes a cutting board, and a pair of laterally spaced side walls having formed therein a pair of laterally spaced guide slots for guiding a cutting blade in a planar region which extends to the surface of the cutting board and is perpendicular thereto. A support member having a pair of opposed parallel planar faces is mountable on the board in either of two orientations wherein one or the other of the faces confronts the planar region and is spaced therefrom a distance which is different in each orientation. A brace supportable on the board at an inclined position engages one side of a food article to be sliced, to clamp the same between the brace and the selected face of the support member.
