Norpro Bread Slicerand Guide with Crumb Catcher
Acrylic bread slicer with wooden crumb catcher. Crumbs fall neatly into removable catcher.This is an adequate no-frills manual bread slicer, and adequate is the operative word. The crumb catcher eliminates messes, making this slicer a much cleaner option than slicing bread on a cutting board. Also, you can achieve uniform 1/2-inch slices; the only caveat is that you can’t adjust the slicer to cut any thicker or thinner. Use your longest serrated knife when cutting, because a knife that just barely spans the width of the slicing tray will keep slipping out of the acrylic slicing guides. The guides have no top support and tend to wobble a bit as you slice. They also have inexplicably high sides; you’d have to use triple the leavening to make bread that reaches the top of them. Despite its design limitations, the Norpro deluxe bread slicer is easy to assemble and maintain and has an attractive overall look. –Carol Gnojewski

3 Stars Norpro Bread Slicer
The slicer works well. I am a little disappointed that it slices such think slices, my homemade bread would be better if the slices were a little thinner. Also, I didn’t think about how much room this takes up, I have very little extra storage space in my kitchen. Other than that, I like it. Sue

2 Stars Wish this worked
This is cute. I sure wish it worked. It is way too wide for my bread and my knife. I figure it is so wide so it can fit a variety of breads but I have to anchor my loaf when slicing… and doesn’t help that my knife isn’t long enough. Very frustrating to use.
The tines make little larger than 1/2 inch slices -too thick for my liking. The tines are also very flimsy. Haven’t had any break yet but I am Very careful.
Cute idea but doesn’t work.
5 Stars Love it! Love it! Love it!
This item works so well. It is easy to use and you are able to cut the bread evenly. Highly recommend this item for bread machine users!
3 Stars Bread slicing guide
It’s kind of misleading, the title: Bread Slicer and Guide. It doesn’t slice anything, but it is a guide. The only thing is, it’s too wide. When I bake a loaf of bread, it never comes out as wide as this thing is. The bread knife is even too short to go all the way across from the first slice guide to the other. So, my mate removed one of the guides. I now hold my loaf with my hand, and using only the guide closest to me, I cut the bread. It should be about 2 inches narrower.
