Abstract:
A device for slicing and storing food such as cheese and the like for cutting of said food into slices of any thickness. Said device comprises a carrier with a top, a bottom, two sides, one enclosed end and a closable aperture end. A pusher, integral to the device, is provided for advancing food matter within the carrier toward the aperture end, without handling the food, at which point a spring actuated tensioned wire tool component, integral to the device, mounted on two spaced arms with a cross bar, can be manually pressured across the aperture end to sever said food. Said wire tool coponent returns to the pre-cutting position after each cut by spring action. A door to close the aperture end is provided to allow storage of food matter between cutting function uses.
