mm on a second one of the cutting members 66 the spacing of the slicers 58 on the second one of the cutting members 66 may be a whole unit multiple of the spacing of the slicers 58 on the first one of the cutting members 36 each of the slicers 58 of the cutting member 36 66 coupled to the base 12 passes through the food item 28 as the cutting member 36 66 coupled to the base 12 is pivoted wherein each slicer 58 extends downwardly into the associated one of the grooves 30 when the cutting member 36 66 is positioned in the cutting position thusly the food item 28 is sliced into a plurality of slices sized according to which cutting member 36 66 is employed in use a selected one of the cutting members 36 66 is removably and hingedly coupled to the pair of spaced retainers 48 the cutting member 36 66 is selected based on the desired width of slices for the food item 28 the food item 28 is positioned on the slicing portion 14 of the base 12 so the food item 28 extends laterally across the slicing portion 14 of the base 12 and abuts the front 25 of the stop 26 the selected cutting member 36 66 is pivoted into the cutting position to slice the food item 28 with respect to the above description then it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure to include variations in size materials shape form function and manner of operation assembly and use are deemed readily apparent and obvious to.
