Manual Bread Slicer for Homemade Sourdough Bread Versatile Hand Crank Bread Slicer for Sourdough Crusty Bread Etc Stainless Steel Slicers Adjustable Width for Homemade & Commercial Use

Probably a lot of homebakers reach the point when they ask themselves if they need yet another piece of equipment. Some items can be, admittedly, redundant and not strictly necessary for breadmaking, especially on a budget. This is not one of those items. I was really tired of my thick, uneven, and misshapen bread slices; they can be such a bummer after baking a beautiful loaf of bread. This slicer works perfectly with multi- and wholegrain, crusty sourdough loaves straight from the box. It is beautifully designed, and suction cups work well without working TOO well to the point that it would be difficult to remove the slicer from the countertop. The slicer has a nice plastic cover, which is perhaps more for packaging, but I see no reason not to use it for storage.

Game changer for the home sourdough enthusiast. After trying the bamboo cutting guided-nearly total failure by the way- this appliance has been awesome. I can now cut a couple of large (especially) pieces not only fast, but uniformly.The only downside is, I paid $137 a few months ago and now is shown as $119 list price and $89 sales price. Bummer.Has nothing to do with the performance of the unit. Killer deal now.

5 stars easily! My wife can cut bread so fast and super consistently now. She would bake loaf after loaf with no one to cut them... I wasn't going to? ha. Plus she couldn't cut them plumb & square. I almost had to get another wife, but man, I barely can handle one. Glad I purchased this for my dishwasher!

This seems to be a knock-off of the “Z” brand of bread slicer, at half the cost. We bought the “Z” brand first as we are leary of knock-offs, and this one didn’t have too many reviews. It turned out the “Z” brand released metal shavings when the handle was cranked, so we returned it & bought this one.As it turns out, we needn’t have worried; this one slices my sourdough loaves perfectly. No metal shavings and there’s even an extra feature that the “Z” brand didn’t have — measurements on the platform so you can slice the same thickness from loaf to loaf. One drawback (which the “Z” brand also had): while the suction cups adhere the device to the counter, they do not prevent the device from sliding around. We did take the device apart to wash the blade before first use as there is some kind of black residue on the blade (I expect from the machining process; we did the same with the “Z” brand).On the whole, we are *very* happy with this purchase. It is a game changer for slicing my sourdough bread (which I bake in a clay baker as a loaf, rather than free form or in a Dutch oven). Haven’t tried it on soft, yeast bread yet so can’t speak to how it works on that type of bread.

I love this bread slicer. It looks great on the shelf when not in use. I bought it to slice homemade bread and it works like a charm. It is definitely a cheap knock-off but feels solid enough. I took off one star because the screws underneath the slicer keeping it solid loosened up. It seems like that will happen from time to time. But that is minor.

So far I am in love with this item!!! I have cut a sandwich loaf and a regular artisan loaf and it cuts like butter !! So nice to have uniform slices and no tearing. I have shared the link with so many friends I wish I had a influencer kick back : )Go for it , you will not regret it

This makes cutting sourdough so easy and fast! I recommend this to all the sourdough girlies out there. I will never use a knife again!

I have lots of kitchen convenience items, and this is definitely one of my favorites (I use it to slice crusty sourdough bread). It’s great for a home baker, however I wouldn’t recommend it for a commercial environment, as it does require a little finesse when you get to the last 1/3 of the slice …. When it passes thru the blade channel, the cut end of the slice gets caught under the turn handle, so you have to slow down to guide it under handle. I’ve seen other reviewers mention the suction cups on bottom don’t stick. They work at first, but then lose effectiveness. Not a big deal, just place a cutting board between base and wall for leverage. As a home baker, I love it! …. If I needed it for volume production, I wouldn’t recommend.
