Norpro 370 Bread Slicerand Guide with Crumb Catcher Review

This works very well. I have used it many times and it holds up well and is easy to clean. If I had to change anything I would like to see it have an additional set of sides that would make thinner slices of bread. The slices come out a little thick. That is not a bad thing, but there are times when I would like to have thinner. Other than that it works very well for my bread and I would recommend it for the price.

Norpro 370 Bread Slicerand Guide with Crumb Catcher Specifications
This is an adequate no-frills manual bread slicer, and adequate is the operative word. The crumb catcher eliminates messes, making this slicer a much cleaner option than slicing bread on a cutting board. Also, you can achieve uniform 1/2-inch slices; the only caveat is that you can’t adjust the slicer to cut any thicker or thinner. Use your longest serrated knife when cutting, because a knife that just barely spans the width of the slicing tray will keep slipping out of the acrylic slicing guides. The guides have no top support and tend to wobble a bit as you slice. They also have inexplicably high sides; you’d have to use triple the leavening to make bread that reaches the top of them. Despite its design limitations, the Norpro deluxe bread slicer is easy to assemble and maintain and has an attractive overall look. –Carol Gnojewski
