Abstract
A food product slicer that includes a blade set and a food-product cradle for supporting a food-product in spaced relation to the blade set. In some embodiments, the cradle is configured to inhibit a user from contacting blades in the blade set in order to prevent injury. In some embodiments, the cradle is incorporated monolithically with a food-product pusher. Food-product cradles of the present disclosure can be enhanced with product-stabilizers that assist in keeping a food-product from moving within the cradles. Food-product cradles of the present disclosure can also be enhanced with side members to created housed cradles. The cradles may be made of fingers spaced from one another to allow the cradles to extend into and/or through the blade set.
