Best way to slice bread

MessyTessie

I bought myself an adjust-a-slice from Lakeland here and even my Mum whose famous for her doorsteps can get a even slice out with it.

The only problem is my OH likes thicker bread than I do so we have to keep adjusting it, at least it only takes a moment

:rotfl: I don't make my own yet but I use an electric knife I got for Christmas now, was well known for disaster bread and meat cutting, think was about £6 in Argos.

We have the adjust-a-slice knife from Lakeland too and it works a treat.

I cannot slice bread evenly for love or money - have an OH who can but I am waiting on the Kenwood slicer being delivered next week - even bought a ham to cook to use it too. We like roasts so it will be used for that one too

now I'm confused ....do I get a kenwood slicer or a Lakeland adjustable knife

My Mum had the slicer from Lakeland and loved it, sadly when she died we gave it away to my Auntie. Wish I'd kept it now, but I thought it was only for meat !!! how silly do I feel now!

Thanks for all your replies. I have had better luck this morning, maybe I was just too impatient. :rolleyes2

vivw, I had the Lakeland one and didn't like it at all although I see others have had success with it. The good thing about buying at Lakeland is they give you your money back. I explained to the assistant I wasn't sure about it and she said "if you don't like it bring it back for a refund" so I did. I am swithering about the Kenwood Slicer as I see lots of people swear by it - however, I have seen one person say on this board that they don't like it and knowing my luck I'll be the second (but wont get my money back this time). Meanwhile, I'll continue doing my dough In the Panny and then ovenbake the bread in a much more manageable shape/size.

I wait until my bread is completely cooled before attempting to slice it, otherwise it ends up a right mess.

I use a lakeland evenslice but I like the idea of a kenwood slicer. Bet ti takes up loads of room though!!!

And do you find you get even slices with it? I am thinking that it would be much cheaper than the slicer and also take up much less room

i like the idea of getting 25 slices from a loaf i get 9 on a good day ,usually just 8 though lol. think i should be thinking about getting one of these gadgets-some good ideas that i have sen before but thought they might just be a gimmick
