The Acrylic Bread Slicer makes it easy to cut your homemade breads into nice, even slices without getting crumbs all over the kitchen!
Customer Rating: Summary: Bread Slicer Comment: I use the bread slicer everyday. You have to be careful with it. I broke one of the plastic guides very easily. Wish they had a sturdier model.
Customer Rating: Summary: Just what I was looking for... Comment: I am completely satisfied with this product. You get nice uniform pieces of bread. I also love the crumb catcher...less clean up :) Customer Rating: Summary: The best thing since unsliced bread! Comment: This product definitely increases my enjoyment of having a bread machine. When used properly, you get nice even slices that can be evenly toasted, or hearty sandwiches, or made into French toast.
This is a very simple tool but the craftsmanship is fine. You do need a long knife to make the best use; I have a 10 inch bread knife that I recommend.
Chicago Cutlery Walnut Tradition 10-Inch Serrated Bread/Slicing Knife
The only way you can adjust the width of the slices is by moving the bread in the guide and even then, getting two slices a uniform width will take some talent. The set width is just fine for my needs. Customer Rating: Summary: Poor craftsmanship Comment: This bread slicer broke the second time I used it. The wooden frame is delicate and did not hold up to slicing with a serrated knife. The wood is unfinished (not sealed) and will likely harbor microorganisms. Definitely not worth the money. Amazon should be ashamed to sell this product. Customer Rating: Summary: Slicing the bread Comment: Works well - needs a really long knife to stay within guides. It is also helpful to allow bread to cool before attempting to slice.

Shelves or cabinets above the cook top can hold foods that aren't affected by warmth, such as pasta, rice, and cereal. A shelf just below these cabinets but above the cook top can transform the space into a cooking workshop, providing a handy resting place for timers, spices, cooking supplies and implements.
