Abstract
The new bread slicing guide includes a base member and a pair of guide members mounted with respect to the base member for pivoting movement about respective pivot axes. The pivot axes are under the base member so that the guide members may be folded toward and substantially against one another for storage. Each guide member is retained in a bread slicing position or a storage position by a position retention mechanism having a cavity and a raised portion generally conforming in shape to the shape of the cavity. A new method is also disclosed.
