Default Bread slicing guide

Hi,

I am looking for a bread slicing guide to purchase in the UK. I have
recently purchased a bread maker and I am currently using an electric knife
to cut the bread (not very straight).

Can anyone recommend a bread slicing guide?

thanks

lakeland ltd do a frame with a sliding bit on it to help you slice straight.

they are on the web if you google for them,
however keeping making loaves and practising does improve matters.

you definitely need the electric knife to cut very fresh bread.

I am not sure what manufacturers are available in the UK, but I bought
for about 50 Canadian dollars a domestic meat slicing machine. In my
machine the gauge at its wides point is perfect for bread. When people
see my sliced bread, they think it is commercial bread particuarly
because of the perfect slicing.

An electric slicer is a lot faster and easier, but your probly know
that anyway. And theyre not expensive nowadays.

King Arthur just came out with a new Baker's catalogue, and they have a
slicing board in it, 23.95 USD, and it is 9 3/4 inches long, 6" wide, and 7
1/2 inches tall. It's called the Bread Slicing Guide.

Interesting question?

How much effort does it take to learn to cut bread (straight) with a
normal (non electric) knife.

If your bread is (firm) it'll probably be less than a dozen bread before
you skill is proficient.

I'm not the person who asked the question; but, as one who has sliced a

few
hundred loaves, I am interested in a good guide because I don't have the
hand-eye coordination to do it as well as I'd like. Remember, we aren't

all
the same; some of us have areas in need of help; for example, you appear

to
be lacking in tact and empathy but can slice bread like a pro.

If you are right handed stand to the left of the knife.
