Abstract

A food slicer includes a cleaning timer for providing warnings to a user and renders the slicer inoperable after a period of usage. The period of usage may be established by food regulations. In advance of that period, warnings are provided that remind the user to clean the slicer. Shutting off the slicer for cleaning resets the timer. If the period of usage passes, then the slicer becomes inoperable until the user shuts off the slicer for cleaning, which automatically resets the timer and the slicer then becomes operable.

Abstract

A rotating blade slicer is provided. The slicer includes a housing, a carriage assembly that is slidably movable along the housing with respect to the knife. A gauge plate is provided to set cutting depth. The carriage assembly movably supports a weighted plate that is slidably mounted upon the carriage assembly and is configured to be disposed upon an upper surface of a food product intended to be sliced by the knife. The weighted plate supported by an arm that is slidably mounted to the carriage assembly, wherein the weighted plate is removably attached to the arm such that the weighted plate can be removed from and connected to the arm without any external tools.
