Rectangular food cutting guide for cutting consistent sized slices

A food cutting guide comprising:

• a base for supporting and cutting food items,
• said base having first and second planar surfaces, a peripheral edge, at least one centering guide, and a plurality of self-centering cutting grooves formed in at least one of the planar surfaces that intersect to subdivide the surface into a plurality of equal sized, equally spaced segments to facilitate, center, and guide the movement of a cutting utensil in cutting the food item, and
• wherein said base defines a peripheral edge,
• wherein said at least one centering guide is disposed inwardly from said peripheral edge on a planar surface having said cutting grooves, and facilitates the placement of the food item in the center of the cutting surface;
• wherein said plurality of cutting grooves form a grid and are equally spaced to facilitate cutting equal size slices of food using a food-cutting utensil;
• wherein each of said cutting grooves has a terminal end and a middle portion,
• wherein the middle portion transitions to a flared opening at the terminal end of each of the plurality of cutting grooves and a uniform width and depth in the middle portion between said flared opening and said center point, and has a V-shaped cross section that has its widest opening at the planar surface having said cutting grooves and transitions to a trough that is its narrowest point;
• wherein said flared openings extend beyond said centering guide, end on said peripheral edge, and are widest at the peripheral edge and taper to the width of the middle portions;
• wherein each of said cutting grooves transition to its deepest and widest points at said peripheral edge;
• wherein said cutting grooves are deeper and wider at said terminal ends and maintain the same proportions along the entirely of the length of the cutting groove;
• and
• wherein each of said cutting grooves maintain a consistent ratio of depth to width along the entire length of said cutting groove.
