Nature Bamboo Foldable Bread Slicer with Crumb Catcher Tray + 20 Bread Bags for Homemade Bread & Loaf Cakes, Thickness Adjustable,Thick & Thin Slices 1/3", 3/8" and 1/2"(New Version)

For my purposes, baking average-size bread loafs, this works quite well. I was a bit surprised by the negative reviews. It's sturdy, well packaged, and easy to use and set up. The slices come out even, and my loafs fit it just fine. It seems easy to clean and the crumbs fall nicely into the bottom pan. I use a bread knife that is more than long enough to span the width for slicing. I did heed the comment about splinters, but with a little practice, that's not an issue. I love how it folds up for easy storage.

Wow, finally a way to make my homemade bread slices even! This works very well, folds into a neat package, has a cool design that catches the crumbs and even serves as a serving tray! Made out of bamboo, it is easy to wipe down, fold and store. What was a skeptical purchase resulted in a convinced buyer.

The slicer itself is great I think, but don't really know for sure because when I try to slice the bread, the bread smashes. I can't slice thin slices, only bigger ones. I'm using a long serrated knife and it should be sharp enough and good enough to make decent cuts. The bread slicer needs to be made so the width can be made smaller or larger so the loaf can't move while cutting. I looked at a lot of slicers and as far as I know, I'd be having the same trouble with them. Do I need a special knife?

Small crack at the bottom of one of the slots. Too wide for the typical bread knife to span across. It’s also a bit rickety. It does work though!

This is a wonderful item - both a slicing guide and a crumb catcher. I save all my mixed crumbs for breading later~It is also collapsible, which makes for easy storage if you don't have to have it out all the time.

In theory, I thought this was a good idea. I bought it more for the foldable aspect of the slicer rather than really thinking through the fact that a big serrated bread knife would be slicing on bamboo, a very soft wood. Also, the frame for the bread slicer is almost too wide, which makes slicing bread through it very tricky - a long bread knife is just barely long enough to navigate across the bread between the guides. I cut exactly 2 slices of bread before the edge of my knife hit the wood and I had splinters all up in my bread. It doesn't take much force to do this, literally it takes just a nick and the wood slivers right off. Terrible design.

The big pro is that I can now slice my bread in uniform slices. The bread slicer makes it easy as long as you have a 10” bread knife. The only con is that it did not come with instructions on how to use it. You have to fold the knife guides over until they drop into a slot. I figured it out by looking at the product illustration on Amazon’s product page. Am very happy overall so rated it with 5 stars.

I used this thing first chance I got. It folds away very nicely and helps cut perfect slices. Only issue is not the fault of the device but you really want to use a 10” bread knife. You can do it with an 8” but it’s much easier with a 10”. Love the included bags too. This was also the best priced one and it still works great.

This item is pretty cool once we figured out how to use it. Beware as there are no instructions on usage. There are instructions on care, cleaning and seasoning though. This item was a gift for my mom as she makes all her own bread and its hard to slice even slices.

Pour le pain

The end piece that holds the end of the bread in place does not really have a place in the folded position.The tray vents should match the orientation of the slice thickness otherwise over time, you will dull your knife wile cutting in the bamboo when you reach the bottom of every slice.Other than that, it is a good slicer and the addition of 20 bread bags is a nice touch.
