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.
