Abstract (en)

A tool for facilitating the even slicing of a bagel-like food items comprising a pair of spaced apart walls (16,18) joined along the upper edges to a base (20) running parallel to the upper edges of the walls. The base (20) has a first end and a second end, with a slot (22) in the inner face thereof opening towards the interior of the space defined by the spaced apart walls. The slot (22) accommodates a slicing blade. Inner surfaces (28,30) of the spaced apart walls have a pattern of protrusions (32) for gripping said bagel when the walls (16,18) are pressed against the surfaces of the bagels. Preferably the ends of the slots are bevelled to facilitate entry of said slicing blade. Conveniently, the spaced apart walls (16,18) are hinged to the base by hinges (66) at the upper edges and the outer surfaces of said walls are provided with handles. The hinges may be biased to pivot said walls away from each other. <MATH>
