Zassenhaus Original Classic Adjustable Bread Slicer for Uniform Slices - Bread Slicer for Homemade Bread - 18/8 Stainless Steel Blade Sourdough Cutter - Cream, 11.75" x 8"

I love this slicer so much!!!! I finally bit the bullet and bought a Zojirushi Virtuoso Plus bread machine to make all of my bread from scratch. It makes absolutely STUNNING loaves of bread that I was absolutely MANGLING when trying to slice them. I was using a large serated bread knife and one of those guide things to try and keep the slices even. It was a nightmare. I researched a few different bread slicer options and kept circling around to this one. It was a little pricier than other options I was looking at and I was a little intimidated by how this would actually work. I’m so glad I took a chance with this even with my uncertainty! It. Is. Amazing!! It sliced my loaf in perfectly even, thin slices that made my bread looked like it came from an artisanal bakery! No squishing. No tearing. No uneven slices. It cut alllll the way to the end of the bread. I was stunned at how easy and efficient this slicer is! The ONLY minor concern is my husband worries about my fingertips with the rotating blade but that’s more a testament to my clumsiness and track record more than the machine. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND his slicer!

If you make sourdough or other crusty bread get one of these if you can afford it. Like any other top quality single purpose tools you buy, you will only cry once. Get the version that has the little guide to hold the bread slice from falling to the right as you cut it and getting in the way of the crank handle. It’s a bit more expensive but worth avoiding the irritation of flicking each slice of bread out of the way Few people would say they really need one of these slicers, but it just works so well; it cuts perfect slices effortlessly even through the crustiest loaf. Any bread is easier to slice when it’s a day or two old but with this device you can slice it while it’s still warm from the oven. If the crumb of your bread is slightly gummy (perhaps because you are slicing it warm from the oven) a sticky residue may adhere to the blade but the blade detaches easily for washing. Leave the bread for a day or two if you want to avoid the stickiness. Of course you will also avoid the sumptuousness of butter melting into the still warm crumb of that first crusty slice. It anchors well to a smooth countertop - almost too well. While you can adjust the thickness, once you have found your preferred thickness you likely won’t change it. It takes up space but if you make two loaves at a time and slice them both at the same time you can keep it in a cupboard or drawer and bring it out when you need it. The folding left side of the base helps a bit with storage space constraints. If you have enough counter space leave it out and cut slices as you need them. Crumbs will chip off the crust as you slice. When you’re done tilt the slicer away from you and open the small detachable tray underneath. Brush the crumbs off and sweep them with your hand into a bag of breadcrumbs you might want to keep in your freezer. No more bread knives skating off the brittle crust on to my thumb. No more cutting grooves in my cutting boards as I saw my way through the bottom crust of each slice. No more squashing my loaf as I try to get the knife to cut through the top crust. Ok you could make non crusty bread but then what’s the point …

We made this purchase with some trepidation because the unit is expensive and there are a number of negative reviews. When our unit came, it was clearly in new condition. The blade was securely mounted to the crank assembly, the unit was securely mounted to the wooden base, and all of suction cup feet were also in place. I cranked the handle to make sure that the blade was turning freely. BE CAREFUL OF THE BLADE -- IT IS EXTREMELY SHARP. The unit slices bread cleanly and evenly even when the bread is a little gummy. The suction cups adhere almost too well to a quartz countertop and we sometimes place the unit on a cutting board to avoid a difficult removal from the countertop. It is easy to adjust the thickness of the slice. The user is responsible to hold the loaf perpendicular to the blade. This is easy after the first slice. Cleanup is easy. Hold a sponge to one side of the blade, keeping your finger away from the blade edge, and crank. You will need to do this for both side of the blade. Learn from my mistake and DON'T remove the blade from the unit to clean! It does not help the cleaning, increases the risk that you will cut yourself, and increases the danger of you misaligning the blade when you reinstall it. You will also need to wipe down the rest of the unit. If a crumb lodges in blade groove, you can remove this by carefully passing a piece of paper towel (or perhaps a pipe cleaner) through the groove. This unit improved our quality of life a lot!

I really wanted to love this. First of all it is so expensive for a manual slicer. I figured, well it’s pricey so it must be good. The reviews told me it was great. We had just started offering slicing bread for our bakery. It cut our bread so crooked and lopsided. It made no sense. It was wobbly and loose with no way to fix the actual issue. No tools that would tighten the bolts. It looked like an L wrench was needed but nothing worked that we tried and I have every size. I reached out to the actual company as per Amazon’s advice and no one ever got back to me. The little suction cups on the bottom don’t really keep it still so you’re at risk to get your finger sliced off like I did. I have so many cuts on my hands from trying to hold it still and push the bread and turn the handle. You need two people. It’s sad. I followed the care and washing instructions. It was never soaked in water but the bottom by the blade looks like it was. So I’m not sure if I was given a used product but it was splintering wood right under the blade where it opens up for crumbs to come down in that slit. Again, I really wanted to love this but the cheap one from Amazon does the job and actually sticks to the counter.

The Zassenhaus Original Classic Adjustable Bread Slicer works well and delivers consistent, even slices with adjustable thickness. However, at its price point—higher than many other models—it has a couple of noticeable design issues. First, the suction cups at the bottom don’t hold and the slicer tends to slip and slide, which is a safety concern when your hand is close to the blade. Real rubber feet would solve this problem and make it much safer. Second, the slicer lacks a guide to feed the bread forward, so the handle can catch on the loaf, slowing down the slicing process. Overall, the slicer performs well, but for a premium price, addressing the slipping issue and adding a bread guide would make it significantly safer and more user-friendly.

This is a game changer for me cutting my home made sourdough bread. I struggled to cut the loaf even with an electric knife. Using the Zassenhaus took literally 2 minutes to cut the entire loaf. Love it and would recommend it to anyone who struggles to cut sourdough bread. The cuts were consistent and not too thick of course totally adjustable. The slicer is made of metal/steel no plastic so I expect it to last a very long time.

Awesome cutting ability. Well manufactured. Real wood base, however one caveat if you have the 2+ pound loaf machines. The handle is not engineered to allow slices to pass under the rotating crank and constantly catches the bread slice. If you don't Manipulate the slice under the handle it catches and will shred the slice. You need three hands. One pushing the loaf through the blade, one to crank the cutting disc, and one to guide the slice. Ridiculous design and could be corrected easily in the design.

je cherchais une trancheuse pour le pain que je fais --> elle est top ! très bien pour les bloc de jambon et fromage . prévoir 4 patins antidérapant .

Echt zijn geld waard.

Llego antes de tiempo, funciona muy bien solo hay que cuidar de ponerla sobre una superficie plana para que los chupones se adhieran bien y no se mueva mientras rebanas tu pan. Es un poco dificil de limpiar. La guia del grosor esta un poco descuadrada por 3º o 4º grados pero nada que sea muy evidente en la rebanada. Sugiero que aparte compres un guante anti corte para evitar accidentes. En general esta muy bien.

Corta muy bien el pan. Es sencillo pero para toda la vida :) Estamos encantados!

Produit très efficace à la découpe sur tout type de pains. Le design et le système de ventouse permet de conserver la planche sur l’espace de travail côté cuisine. Je recommande !
