Presto 03830 LeverEdge Cutting Center Cutting Board Review

Average Reviews:

The Presto LeverEdge Cutting Center works great! I can now cut winter squash without being afraid that I will cut myself. I used to hate cooking hard vegetables like acorn squash and rutabaga because they are almost impossible to cut up. It is super easy with this cutter. I also used the Presto Cutting Center to cut up big chunks of chocolate for making chocolate covered peanuts.

This cutting board is all that it is advertized to be. I liked mine so much that I went out and bought a smaller version. Being able to put the cutting board in the dishwasher makes this my favorite cutting board and one that I look forward to using on a daily basis.

I do a lot of canning from greenbeans to peaches. This knife is comfortable in my hand, super sharp, and an absolute must have. My kids have used it and it doesn't slip out of their hands. We actually fight over who gets this knife. That's why I'm ordering more.

I actually had bought this very same knife 3 years ago at an Amish shop. Somehow it vanished after a family function with lots of helpers in the kitchen. (It probably went out with the potato peelings!) I had tried several other paring knives and was not satisfied. When I noticed "my" knife on Amazon, I ordered it right away! It is nicely balanced and very sharp. I can get a lot done in little time. It is best to hand wash and dry it to keep the handle looking nice. Highly recommend this one.

This slicer is way too small for slicing bread. It did not open wide enough to get around the 1 lb loaf from my bread machine. I was not able to use it. Maybe it is better with meat.

Mountain Woods Adjustable Fiddle Bow Knife Oak Right Handed Review

I have had one of these for nearly 10 years, and it works beautifully. I don't understand the other reviewer who said it tore up the bread, except to say that just baked loaves of bread hot (or warm) from the oven do not slice well. Experienced bread bakers all know this. Always let loaf bread cool off completely for the best slicing. Then you can always re-warm it. If you want something hot from the oven, make rolls or biscuits, something you don't slice!

Cuts uniform slices of bread every time in the size you want. The rich hardwood handle gauges your desired thickness. Slice up to 1" thick or as thin as Melba toast. It's easy to turn the brass thumbscrew to move the guide to the size you want.

Only 4 stars, would be 5 if blade was shorter! Again, it is great for lefthanded (as advertised), but only using it for bagels, muffins, etc. I am happy with workmanship, definitely a great buy. Great idea for gift giving to those of us who are lefthanded, makes slicing easier. Glad to find this item on Amazon, plus perfect shipping! Thanks again.

I make home made bread alot. Problem with current knife? I can't get the slices thin enough for sandwiches, and the bread crumbles, or squishes or.....This slicer is amazing! It actually slices thinner than any knife I have ever owned! Finally sandwich slices (1/2" or less) instead of irregular thick slices. I own a knife with a slicing guide ("magic knife") and its good for meat, but not so much for bread as it won't slice thin without a mess. This blade is razor thin and cuts through hot or cooled bread so easily you will be shocked. Don't hesitate to get it!

Here's a video of me using the knife for the first time, right out of the box.
I use it on 3 kinds of bread, a peach and a tomato, then I show you what it looks like after going through the dishwasher.
Enjoy!

Norpro Acrylic Bread Slicer Review

Norpro Acrylic Bread Slicer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this slicer primarily because I bake breads at home quite often and I wanted something I could use to make even slices. I have to say I'm disappointed in the flimsy nature of the acryllic fingers, which guide the knife through the bread. While attempting to slice a loaf of bread, the fingers seem to bend and are easily maneuvered out of joint by the sawing of the bread knife through the loaf. I always fear, each time I use the slicer, that the fingers are going to snap off with one thrust.
Another drawback to this design is the lack of a "guide press" to hold the bread in place while slicing. The design of the slicer is such that one puts the loaf to be sliced against the acryllic sides and must hold the loaf in place with one hand while attempting to slice with the other hand. One needs a third hand in order to hold the slicer in place and a forth to hold the fingers in place so they don't bend and snap with the natural sawing motion of the bread knife. I have, as of yet, to get 2 equally measured slices of bread while cutting.
Now, after all that, does the bread slicer do what it says it's going to do? Yes ... it just does so in a flimsier manner than I'd expected. Rubber feeting on the bottom of the unit, sturdier acrylic fingers and a press to hold the bread still while between the slots would improve this design vastly.

Crumbs fall neatly into removable catcher so no messy bread crumbs all over the table or counter. The bread slicer is approximately 6.25" wide and large enough to handle all sorts of loaf sizes. Each slice will be uniform .5" wide. The non adjustable slots ensure that all the bread slices are perfect.

Best Manufacturers Reusable Bread Storage Bag Review

Best Manufacturers Reusable Bread Storage Bag
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this item based on a review at cooksillustrated-dot-com (search for keyword "retrogradation" if you want to know more). Cooksillustrated thought this product was the best of the lot they tested and said it'd keep homemade bread crusts crisp and the loaf fresh for up to three days. The claim that crusts would stay crisp especially interested me.
The bag doesn't work miracles and disappointingly, doesn't keep crusts crisp. Compared to leaving my homemade or store-bought artisanal bread in a leaky plastic box, there was a small but definite improvement in quality on day one after baking/purchasing, but the crusts are definitely not crisp. By day three (just as the cooks illustrated article says) you need to freeze the bread and reheat it.
It's somewhat hard to clean b/c there are all sorts of folds in which crumbs can be trapped. You're supposed to be able to put it in the washing machine or dishwasher. Mine survived the washing machine (in a lingerie bag), but the moisture trapped between the plastic bag and the cloth bag is hard to get rid of (hair dryer time).
If your family is like mine, polishing off your homemade bread within a day or two of baking, this bag will help maintain freshness. I give it 3.5 stars for performance (on day one after baking, 4 stars for freshness, but 0 on the crisp crust promise) and 2 stars for being wildly overpriced (see my image in the customer image gallery).

The Best solution for the kitchen…is the philosophy that led to the pioneering of the Fresh Bread Bag.The Bag keeps bread machine loaves andrustic bakery loaves fresh and fragrant and bagels just the right texture.It is also great for bulk-purchased flour, grains and pasta.Using the Best Fresh Bread Bag is a "Green" solution that reduces dependence on plastic bags, while reducing waste and recycling efforts.A practical solution from the wide easy-access opening to the longer loaf size.When not in use, the bag folds down smaller than a breadbox.Constructed of pre-shrunk and colorfast 7.5-ounce twill cotton/polyester in a natural-color canvas with thick-gauge polyethylene plastic lining for air-tightness.The combined strength of these two layers make the Best Fred Bread Bag reusable for years.Machine washable.

Norpro 370 Bread Slicerand Guide with Crumb Catcher Review

Norpro 370 Bread Slicerand Guide  with Crumb Catcher
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Only two things could be adjusted for me to like this slicer better. 1 - the grooves could be deeper to keep from slicing into the wood. 2 - the guide could be adjustable. Other than that, it is a handy tool to use with baked bread. We use a bread machine that makes a pound and a half loaf. This has really removed the guess work of slicing. The bread should be cooled a little before attempting to slice. We often take bread to functions and using this we now have nice even slices. It is a lot neater using it rather than a plain board, too. All in all, a great kitchen aide.
