Slicing fresh bread.

[dickymint]

I make bread at least once a week. Now when it comes to slicing fresh bread I can just about manage but Wifey struggles a bit.

So does anybody use one? I'm open to either the guide type or even electric all in jobbies.

Any thoughts welcome.

This might work...

Eezi Slice but buy the knife too as it makes it work best. Knife

Try making ready sliced bread instead. Failing that, I use one of these, Soreen malt loaf doesn't stand a chance Kasumi bread knife

Electric carving knives work well too. Slice thickness consistency is still a bit random though. The Eezi-Slice takes care of that.

Sneak it into your nearest big supermarket and stick it through their slicer !

There are some odd interests in the world today!!

Aye! I guess it's just the American way of thinking that everything is better with a V8!

Try waiting a few hours until it's dried out a little more inside (otherwise the knife sticks easily).

And don't push hard- let the knife do the work, with little pressure.

Pastry knife.

We have the Victorinox one that’s £25 on amazon. It’s a very thin serrated blade, absurdly sharp, and cuts even soft hot bread like nothing else.

Treat it like sawing wood.

Don’t use a lot of pressure and let the knife do the work.

Leaves too smooth a finish which makes for disappointing toast.

If the bread is fresh out of the machine and still warm, anything other than an electric knife will sqaush the loaf beyond recovery or take 10 miutes per slice.....

Homemade bread is the best thing since sliced bread.

Use a very sharp chefs knife. A properly sharp chef knife is far superior to a bread knife, your bread knife will become obsolete.

This is the answer. Wife always wonders why I’m able to cut through a loaf with no issue. When I watcher her, she’s pushing down and using and zig zagging it.

Let the knifes weight cut the crust and it will zip down through the centre with no problem.

Turn the loaf on it's side. It's easier to cut straight slices that way !
