I like the idea of the adjust a slice from Lakeland. I've decided to make a smaller loaf and get a new breadknife. Ours is about 15yrs old, so maybe it's time to try a new one.

I'd suggest the knife

a) it's cheaper.
b) I think it's more versatile - can use it for all sorts.
c) it takes up less space.

I'd start with that, then if it doesn't work send it back and order the other one.

Better to start cheap and work up

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

It's good, the slices are even and I like it. It's not called the evenslice for nothing, LOL!!! I haven't tried the knife with the bar thingie though so can't compare.

I seem to have been getting confused, but think I've got it straight now ...... there are several ways of cutting bread:

Ordinary knife - tried and got uneven slices
Electric knife - tried and got uneven slices
Adjust-a -slice - have ordered from lakeland for approx £7
Even slice - available from Lakeland at approx £17
Kenwood slicer - available from Lakeland at approx £30 [slightly cheaper on Amazon but out of stock there]

Someone said earlier that Lakeland are good about returns if you don't get on with an item. I'm going to try the adjust-a-slice and if it is no good return and get one of the others

I've recently been using an old steel carving knife with brilliant results. It's totally rigid, without serrations (so it can be sharpened easily) and I'm actually getting straight thin slices for once!

It seems electricshopping.com have the kenwood slicer and u can go through quidco also....I have never shopped with as yet though....

I turn my bread on it`s side to cut with a bread knife,I find it easier that way and the slices are alot more straighter.

I used to tend to give it the Vulcan Death grip and squash it while I was cutting,but now I relax and gently Slice with love!

And if all else fails,make bread buns!

My kenwood slicer came to-day - I am waiting for the bread to cool slightly and will let you know
