Abstract:
1. A produce slicer for slicing produce comprising: (a) a frame defining a cavity having a central axis; (b) a plurality of radial cutting blades disposed in the cavity, wherein each of the radial cutting blades are substantially contained by an imaginary plane, wherein the imaginary planes of the radial cutting blades extend radially outward from the central axis toward the frame; and (c) a plurality of ancillary cutting blades disposed in the cavity, each ancillary cutting blade intersecting at least one of the radial cutting blades at a location between the frame and the central axis, wherein the ancillary cutting blades include a first series and a second series of ancillary cutting blades each contained by an imaginary plane, where the imaginary planes of the first series are oriented substantially 45 to 135 degrees relative to the imaginary planes of the second series and wherein the imaginary planes of the radial cutting blades are located at an oblique angle relative the imaginary planes of the first and second series.
