Abstract: An electric food slicer includes a cutter rotated by an electric motor. The motor is housed in a motor housing removably received in the main body, so that the motor is not actuated unless the motor housing is in the main body. A support for supporting a slice plate thereon is removably attached to the main body and is rotatable when not in use into an inoperative position in close proximity to the main body without being disconnected therefrom. A food clamp is removably supported on the slice plate. All these parts of the slicer can be held together in a compact shape around the main body for the storage or packing of the slicer. An electric cord connected to the motor can be held in a compact shape in the slice plate support. All the parts including the main body, except the motor housing, can be easily detached from one another and washed in a usual way to keep the machine in a sanitary condition.
