foldable toast bread slicer bread uniform cutting

A package was waiting for me at my front door a couple of days ago. The package was heavy, and I couldn't figure out what I'd ordered that weighed that much. Inside was the F-shopping bread-slicing guide. I was surprised, as the slicing guide is almost entirely plastic. I had a loaf of raisin-walnut bread handy, so I placed it in the slicing-guide and gave it a try. The slicing-guide was stable on my table, and slicing the bread evenly was pretty simple. The attached photo was the result. Pretty good slicing, if I say so myself.Just to make clear: This is not a bread slicer; it's a device that holds a loaf of bread and allows you to slice the loaf evenly. Also, as the name states, the red sides can be rotated downward, making the guide about two inches slimmer. Not a huge difference, but a nice feature.

This little unit is not only cool looking but effective. Guides produce even slices of an entire loaf of bread quickly & perfectly. This is our 2nd machine. The 1st one we bought was kinda OK but had only a few guides that were the right size for us. The bamboo unit wasn't as well made or as easy to use as this plastic unit. Having a decent bread knife helps, it does 90% of the work. I highly recommend this unit to anyone who bakes regular sized loafs of bread ( we bake sourdough) and wants to make breakfast toast or a nice PB&J for kids, a BLT, Ham, Tuna salad or a plain ole grilled cheese that actually toasts up and looks like one.

This is my first slicer, so don't have anything to compare to. I decided to go with this product since it had evenly spaced cutting slots, and looked easy to clean / maintain being all one piece. I have only used it so far for 2 small sourdough loafs. The knife easily cuts into the plastic. A bit concerning since who knows how much of that is being ingested. Otherwise I like the spacing, that the spacing is consistent, if you want a larger slice, just skip a row. It folds up easily for smaller footprint to store. So far, its .. working.

Pros: I like that the slicing guide is easy to clean and I can collapse one side to easily retrieve my bread slices. I can cut the entire loaf of bread without having to move it within the slicing guide. It makes it quicker to slice the loaf.Cons: What I do not like is that the guides are too flexible. The guides move, causing the slices to vary from top to bottom. The material of the guides is too soft, and coupled with the flexibility, my high quality, very sharp, serated bread knife repeatedly knicks the plastic if I do not angle my knife just right. This causes really thin slices of plastic to get deposited on the bread and I'm sure, overtime, this will compromise the integrity of the slicing guides themselves. Harder plastics (think Bakelite) or resins would make for better material for a bread slicer.

Purchased this to cut homemade round loaves of bread (8-12"). There is no way to cut a loaf wider or taller than 4.5" It's very sturdy, well-made and easy to use and store - just won't work with a 1# boule of bread.

Simple to put together. Its made of all hard plastic. No wood period!!! Have used slicer at least 5 times so far & LOVE it!! Only one suggestion regarding the Bread knife. Use a long bladed bread knife. It works so much better. Amazon has 12 inch & 14 inch bread knives, We invested in the 14 inch bread knife. The description for the bread knife is Fat Daddio's 10 Cake/Bread Knife 14 inch blade. It costs $19.97. Sorry about no picture of item. Computer was being stubborn.

I am extremely happy with this slicer. Tried the bamboo type and had trouble with a few knives fitting through the slots and lining up the knife. This one is extremely easy to use and I had no trouble with the knife or lining the knife up in between the slots. It is a bit mor expensive but worth every penny! Folds nicely for storage also. As you can see the slices are very uniform.

I was excited when I found this. Due to the Covid pandemic I've been having to bake my own gluten free bread for the past year. My bread is tasty, but I would really like to have uniform slices the same thickness as store bread. Unfortunately, this gadget is NOT the answer. The prongs wobble when cutting the bread, so some pieces end up thick, while others are too thin...even worse than cutting it myself. I tried to be very careful cutting the bread because I'd seen reviews where people said they had red plastic shavings in their bread, but even going slowly and carefully I got a few red shavings. It's not worth the hassle and doesn't add any convenience or time saving. I returned it today.
