Zassenhaus KP0000072068 Classic Bread Cutter, 18/8 Stainless Steel

This is a fantastic piece of kit! Really love using this to slice homemade sourdough bread! It does cut day old bread better than fresh I think, but use it to cut fresh anyway! Wish I bought it sooner! Really easy to clean and easy to use

More than £130 to slice a loaf of bread, ridiculous right? Well actually, no. If you like crusty bread or sourdough we all know how difficult it can be to cut through the crust, particularly at the bottom of the loaf. Also failing to be able to cut a slice perpendicular and evenly can be the source of so much domestic tension (at least in our house)!This product is simple, effective and fun to use. A loaf of bread can be cut into perfect slices in seconds at you desired thickness. It also looks good on the counter.

It’s quite large to accommodate but it certainly cuts a lovely even slice of bread over and over again. It’s much more reliable than a bread knife for the size of the slice.

This is a relatively small, simple and robust device with a very sharp, undulating edged circular Solingen steel blade. It cuts crusty home made bread, including sourdough, very well. It also sticks like a limpet to my polished granite work surfaces. I do have a couple of reservations, though.I expected the wooden handle to rotate freely on its spindle, but it sticks and there's no adjustable screw to loosen it. The handle also crushes the slice as it comes off the blade, unless one is careful. To address this I've adopted a simple modification with a 6" steel ruler and some magnets - see the attached photos. It's not elegant, but it's cheap and it does the job.

The absolute best way to slice homemade bread, including sourdough. Cuts through my loaves like a hot knife through butter. 100% recommend, wish I’d bought sooner.

Very disappointing. The ruler isn’t strong enough to keep the slices consistent. The suction cups are not preventing the board from sliding horizontally so you have to block the board with something else. Returning it before someone gets injured. The blade is very sharp.

The media could not be loaded. For any sourdough bakers this is a game changer. This loaf was still warm barely an hour out of the oven and it sliced perfectly. Thoroughly recommended

The media could not be loaded. If you have ever made or bought sourdough or crusty bread you will all have had the struggle trying to saw through the crusty bottom. I had been looking at this slicer for months and trying to justify the cost but after having a debate with myself about self worth and why not I pressed that order button. It has been an absolute revelation, I can honestly say it has been one of the best kitchen items I have ever bought.It slices easily and cleanly through the crustiest of breads, no ragged edges or pulled crumb.A couple of tips I have learnt, wipe the suckers with a damp cloth before you stick it to your work surface, really helps with stopping it sliding or moving when slicing and turn the handle quite quickly when slicing, helps with stopping the slice of bread getting stuck under the handle.This also slices cooked hams, perfect for sandwiches etc.If you have been looking at this and thinking it’s quite expensive believe me it’s worth every single penny!
