Immersible Food Slicer

Abstract

A slicer comprising a power base and a removable food support assembly. The food support assembly comprises a support base, a product tray, product tray slides, a bearing assembly, an adjustable plate, a gauge plate adjuster, and a blade. The power base comprises individual supports, a switch unit, a power cable, and a drive motor assembly having a blade drive coupling system. After setting the adjustable plate to the desired thickness using the gauge plate adjuster, the user switches the switch unit to the “on” position to initiate the drive motor assembly, which rotates the blade drive coupling system and, in turn, causes the blade to turn and slice the food product. Once the food product has been sliced, the removable food support assembly is removed from the power base and immersed in water or inserted into a dishwasher for faster, safer, more efficient, and more sanitary cleaning.
