A food slicing apparatus includes a container, a removable top, and a slicing device that includes blades and slides relative to the top. The top defines a patterned hole which accommodates the blades as the slicing device slides from an open position in which the blades are spaced from the top, toward a closed position in which the blades are disposed through the patterned hole. A piece of food that is placed on the top below the blades and is sliced by pressing the slicing device against the food and the sliced pieces are moved into the container by further pressing on the slicing device thereby pressing the frame of the slicing device against the food. The slicing device and top are thereafter removed from the container, and a lid is placed on the container to accommodate the food after it has been sliced.
A food slicing apparatus comprising:
A method of slicing and storing a food product using a food slicing apparatus comprising a container, a blade guiding top being elastic and having a patterned hole therethrough, and a slicing device including a frame and a plurality of blades extending from the frame and radially spaced about a longitudinal axis, an outer periphery of the blades corresponding to an outer periphery of the patterned hole, the method comprising:
