Abstract

A method of utilizing a food, cutting guide that has a base having a circular first and circular second planar surface. The guide has a plurality of grooves formed in at least one of the planar surfaces and at least one centering guide formed on the at least one of the planar surfaces to facilitate cutting equal size slices and / or sections of food. A wider angled guide groove is formed at the end of each of the plurality of grooves. At least one centering groove / mark is concentric about an intersection of the plurality of grooves to center a pizza or food item. The cutting guide comprises at least one handle. A guide material comprises food safe and / or NSF approved plastic, wood and plastic composites, bamboo, wood, ash, hickory, oak, walnut, maple, purple heartwood, chestnut, cherry; plastic, porcelain, metal, stone, wood composite materials, glass, porcelain, bamboo, and food safe materials.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to methods and systems relating to food cutting guides, and more particularly to methods and systems for using the food cutting guides to cut food into approximately equal sized food portions that ensure approximately equal nutritional value of the food portions , reducing waste of the food portion and thus increasing the sale and profit of the sale of the food portion. Background technique [0002] Public and private schools, sports teams, booster (booster) clubs, children's party centers, hospitals, nursing homes, and institutions all have a need for pizza and / or food items cut into equal pieces to Use for lunches, meals, fundraisers, and more. Fewer carryovers due to oddly shaped or undersized or oversized chunks when there are equal chunks. Therefore, cutting guides are needed to ensure that different sized pizzas (eg, 8 or 14 inch diameter pizzas) can be cut into approximately the same size pieces. [000...
