Product Description:
The Acrylic Bread Slicer makes it easy to cut your homemade breads into nice, even slices without getting crumbs all over the kitchen!

Discount Shopping Review:
This is an adequate no-frills manual bread slicer, and adequate is the operative word. The crumb catcher eliminates messes, making this slicer a much cleaner option than slicing bread on a cutting board. Also, you can achieve uniform 1/2-inch slices; the only caveat is that you can't adjust the slicer to cut any thicker or thinner. Use your longest serrated knife when cutting, because a knife that just barely spans the width of the slicing tray will keep slipping out of the acrylic slicing guides. The guides have no top support and tend to wobble a bit as you slice. They also have inexplicably high sides; you'd have to use triple the leavening to make bread that reaches the top of them. Despite its design limitations, the Norpro deluxe bread slicer is easy to assemble and maintain and has an attractive overall look. --Carol Gnojewski

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Simple and convenient
Such a simple gadget that works great to get nice even slices of any bread. Very satisfied.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Bread Slicer
I started to make bread again in my bread maker. However it seems like I was not able to get an even slice for toasting. This slicer helps keep the knife evenly spaced for each slice. I had a little trouble keeping the sides together so the end plate would not fall out, but finally got the system going. Now I need to purchase a good sharp bread slicing knife to make my life perfect.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Low Grade
I would like to see it made from a better quality of wood.

It *is* too wide for the bread knives included in most cutting blocks. It is also wider than necessary for most bread machine loaves.

Overall more annoying than satisfying



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Bread slicer
This is a great product. It is well made and a good value for the money. Just make sure that you have a good bread knife. I tried an existing knife I had on hand which didn't work well. I ended up purchasing a good quality knife to use with this slicer. The only thing I would change is the ability to slice larger slices but you can position the bread to do this. I think it is an awesome product compared to what I have purchased in the past.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - back falls off
This product is a good idea but when i went to cut bread the back would fall out of the groves. maybe i will have to glue it.
