Can anyone tell me how to cut malt loaf without it going into a sticky compacted wedge?

[glammama]

In all my 33 years I have never perfected this. It's particularly driving me crazy tonight.

bread knife

?

don't cut it just eat it

Bree hovers, her malt loaf always looks most unBree like.

BTW it is lovely with extra mature cheddar.

Buy it ready sliced

use a very sharp knife

I used a bread knife! If I don't cut it the butter goes all over my face. I'm seriously wondering if I should buy an electric carving knife. I LOVE MALT LOAF. And I'm 5 months pregnant,

Not a bread knife, but you need a serrated knife - something like a citrus knife? Smaller serrates (?) than a bread knife. A sharp one. Then you saw gently.

You can buy it ready sliced??????

sharp bread knife...so you don't need to apply much pressure

Yep, I used a serrated veg knife too and it was very sharp. I even put the malt loaf on its side.
Am I to infer that no-one else has this problem and it's just me?

No, I too have this problem. Hence buy ready sliced if I can

have you tried a very sharp non serrated knife - eg a carving knife?

I think I'm just shit at cutting malt loaf and I'm going to try and find it ready sliced.

Nope, whenever I have cut malt loaf it has turned into sticky wedges too!

I don't have a carving knife. Should I go and buy one?

In fact, think, why did they produce a ready sliced option? Hey? You are not alone.

You are 5 months pregnant, FGS woman just rip it off in lumps....

You know, this malt loaf stressed me out too much. I have moved onto these yum!

Drool.................

Should I have another? I haven't had dinner yet..........

Gently, slowly slight pressure serrated sharp knife.

I hate malt loaf though, but dh thinks it's food of the gods

Tiny, I can't be too slow when cutting malt loaf because I want it in my mouth RIGHT NOW. Maybe that's where I was going wrong?

Its meant to go into a sticky compacted wedge.

Doesn't a sharp serrated knife used with rapid sawing action work though?

Ah, but I ask you Emsmum, if it was meant to go into the wedge then why do they sell those snack packs (total rip off) where the slices are perfect? aha!!!!

glammamama... I've never tried those. They are presumably meant for picnics and the assumption is they will be sat on at some point before eating to achieve the required degree of compaction.
