Anybody found a really good gadget for cutting bread???

[MilaMae]

Preferably thinly.

Electric carving knife

NB butter the bread before you cut it

Bread Knife[Grin]

Practice is the key.

the slicing machine in sainsbury/asda/tesco etc bakery

I got one from Lakeland but I can't find it on their site atm.

a bread knife . It's the technique that is important.

I have a guided knife which I got from the RNIB but i believe QVC also sell one. it's like a conventional bread knife but has a guide so you can cut straight.

and you can adjust the guide for thicker/thinner slices

I have this thing (Evenslice ) from Lakeland - I can't believe I paid £16.50 for it

It does work though

So how much were the Lakeland and guided knife things??? Do you think they're worth it???

I've got this plan to make a 2 or 3 of loaves in the oven Sun night all at once, will then slice when cool and freeze. Yes dp is slightly sceptical that I'll keep to it for long too. The slices need to be thin to make it worth while and my bread knife technique just isn't up to it

Can't cope with anymore cheap Plastic Asda bread soooo depressing 1st thing in the morning.Even the dc have gone off toast. Can't afford the bakery section bread anymore

Practice and a good bread knife, adn full attentino. I am useless but have got better through time. I don;'t think any kind of gadget would help me, unless it was something along the lines of the ones they have in the supermarket - i.e. no intervetion required from me!!!

I think the knife was about ten pounds and it helps me. Hubby uses the electric knife but I'm not allowed to use that.

Wendy my friend bought that one from the charity shop last week that I didn't get there 1st!!!!!!!!

So it is worth it then, may ask for it for my bday.

Sigh. Those days of getting frivilous gifts are well and truely gone,am officially turning into my mother
