Sourdough Bread Slicer, Manual Bread Cutter with Hand Crank, Cream

We bought this bread slicer as a gift for my mother in law who loves baking sourdough and other breads. She uses it all the time and loves it! It slices perfect sized slices and is adjustable. My kids often help her slice bread as well and can use it with ease. You can use it for slicing other things as well if you'd like. I'd recommend to all.

this is a fabulous item, it does exactly what it says it's going to do, and it was $70 cheaper than a top brand one. It's excellent, I could not be happier with it.

After cutting my hand a second time with a bread knife (the crust of the sourdough loaf remnant was hard and the knife slipped), my husband asked me to find something better than the standard bread knife. After some research, I came across this bread slicer. My first reaction was that it's a little pricey. Then my husband reminded me how much the visit to the ER cost. I was also afraid it would be even easier to cut a finger off. I'm not afraid anymore. This thing is amazing! It slices through my sourdough boules like it's nothing. The blade turns in the opposite direction of the crank, so it literally pulls the bread in and down a little. You still have to gently push the loaf through, but it does the majority of the hard work. It's also easy to keep the pushing hand safely on the far side of the loaf. I looked at other bread slicers, but none could handle the large 9 inch loaves that I make. This slicer doesn't care how wide the loaf is. My husband loves sourdough sandwiches, but neither us are very good at freehand-cutting slices evenly. The guide on the slicer is adjustable so you get even, level slices whether you want thinner slices for a sandwich or thicker chunks for sopping up soup. The suction cups hold the slicer solid on the kitchen counter and come up relatively easily by sliding a fingernail under the edge. It's a beautiful piece of kitchen equipment with the real wood base and painted metal crank house, although I might look into a cover so the blade is not constantly exposed. It comes with good instructions and with 2 tools you might need to tighten some bolts if they work their way loose (and there are instructions for that). Note that if you take the blade off to clean it by removing the Phillips head screw, there are actually 3 pieces to keep track of: the blade, a washer on the back, and the very center that holds the screw. I nearly sent the washer down the drain because I wasn't paying attention. I wish I'd gotten this slicer sooner!

The slicer is safe to use, works great, and is adjustable too! I bought this for a sight impaired friend, as it wasn't safe for him to try and slice his favorite sourdough bread. This slicer is the right color, white, so it shows up on the counter. It is VERY easy to operate and adjust to the right bread slice size. It's sharp enough to slice bread, but not so sharp that it poses a danger. Cleans up easily, and has suction cups on the bottom that keep it in place. He is THRILLED with it! Not too expensive either!. It comes in three colors, black, white, and red.

Absolutely love this cutter! Never again will my bread have huge variations in thickness. Works very well with nice sourdough breads. Be careful as softer breads will have a bit of an issue with cutting even slices.
