ABSTRACT:
A slicer is provided for use in conjunction with a manually manipulated knife for cutting slices off one end of a loaf of a food product, such as a loaf of bread, a loaf of meat, a loaf of cheese, etc. The slicer includes a U-shaped channel in which the food product loaf is contained with one end of the loaf being in engagement with an end wall. The channel is inclined to the horizontal to cause the loaf to self feed down into engagement with the end wall. A knife slot is provided a fixed distance away from the end wall to allow a slice having a first pre-determined thickness to be provided. One or more thickness adjustment plates may be dropped down into the channel to overlie the end wall to decrease the thickness of the slices in pre-determined increments equal to the thickness of the plates. The plates extend above the end wall to be easily removable from the channel. The slicer includes a gripping member for engaging one side of the loaf to force the loaf into engagement with a side wall of the channel, the gripping member being freely movable in a transverse direction during use of the slicer to allow the gripping member to be held by hand pressure against the side of the loaf without risk to the user.
