ABSTRACT:
An improved appliance for slicing food articles, particularly baked goods and bagels in a uniform, quick and safe manner. The appliance includes a food receptacle which is slidably inserted into one end of a main housing and into which a food item such as a bagel is placed. A motorized cutting carriage is mounted on top of the main housing and extends a serrated dual-bladed slicing assembly horizontally over the food item. When power is applied, the blades of the slicing assembly begin reciprocating, and the entire cutting carriage is depressed downward in order to move the reciprocating blades of the slicing assembly through the food item . Once the food item is cut, the cutting carriage returns to its home position, the food receptacle is to slidably withdrawn, and the sliced food item is removed and consumed. In a second fully-automatic embodiment, the cutting carriage is self-driven downward and then upward (no manual depression is needed) in order to move the reciprocating blades of the slicing assembly through the food item. Both embodiments of the appliance require a minimum of space and facilitate the slicing operation without damage to the bagel. The appliances are efficient, quick, easy to clean, and above all, completely safe.
