Abstract
A holder for containing items to be sliced is provided. The holder includes a base, a first sidewall having a proximal end fixedly secured to the base and a distal end, and a second sidewall having a proximal end fixedly secured to the base and a distal end. The sidewalls have a normal rest position wherein the distal ends are spaced apart a predetermined distance. At least one of the sidewalls is formed of a flexible and resilient material and is deflectable from the rest position in a direction which increases the distance between the distal ends.
