  • Patent number: 11083338
    Abstract: A food cutting guide comprising a base having first and second planar surfaces, a peripheral edge, at least one centering guide, and a plurality of self-centering cutting grooves formed in a planar surface that intersect to subdivide the surface into a grid of equally spaced segments to center and guide the movement of a cutting utensil in cutting the food, wherein at least one centering guide is disposed inwardly from said peripheral edge, and facilitates the placement of the food in the center; wherein the cutting grooves have terminal ends and middle portions that transition to flared openings at the terminal ends and a uniform width and depth in the middle portion between the flared openings, and has a V-shaped cross section; wherein each of said cutting grooves transition to its deepest and widest points at said peripheral edge; and maintain a consistent ratio of depth to width along the entire length of said cutting groove.

  • Patent number: 10667652
    Abstract: A pizza cutting guide comprising a base having first and second planar surfaces, a peripheral edge, at least one circular centering guide, and a plurality of self-centering cutting grooves formed a planar surface that intersect to subdivide the surface into a plurality of equally spaced pie-shaped segments to center and guide the movement of a cutting utensil in cutting the pizza, wherein at least one centering guide is disposed inwardly from said peripheral edge, and facilitates the placement of the pizza in the center; wherein the cutting grooves radiate from a center point and have terminal ends and middle portions, wherein the middle portions transition to flared openings at the terminal ends and a uniform width and depth in the middle portion between the flared opening and the center point, and has a V-shaped cross section; wherein each of said cutting grooves transition to its deepest and widest points at said peripheral edge; and maintain a consistent ratio of depth to width along the entire length of

  • Patent number: 10244900
    Abstract: A food cutting guide comprising a base for supporting and cutting food, said base having first and second planar surfaces, a peripheral edge, and a plurality of cutting grooves formed in at least one of the planar surfaces to facilitate and guide the movement of a food cutting utensil in cutting the food, and at least one centering guide disposed inwardly from said peripheral edge on at least the planar surfaces having said cutting grooves; wherein said at least one centering guide facilitates the placement of the food in the center of the cutting surface; and wherein said plurality of cutting grooves are equally spaced to facilitate cutting equal size slices of food.
