Those who really enjoy bread may have a bread machine at home. Especially in Japan, where small apartments often prevent the installation of proper ovens, bread machines (known in Japan as "home bakery" machines) are sometimes the only way to make homemade bread.

Although enjoying freshly baked bread from a bread machine is a pleasure, there's one part of the experience that can potentially be annoying, and that's ending up with uneven slices when you try to slice your bread.

A writer at our sister site Grape bought a bread machine but she was often disappointed that she had to settle for slices looking like this:

"I have a bread machine, but the cross-sections never look neat," said the writer.

"I bought a bread knife, but when I cut the loaf of bread by hand, the slices tend to be uneven in thickness. Moreover, the less bread there is left, the harder it is to cut!"

Fortunately, now there's a powerful ally that can help you solve both these problems, and more!

It's a bread slicer perfect for loaves of bread baked in bread machines. You can slice freshly baked bread neatly every time. Just like this! Our writer at Grape was lucky enough to try this gadget for herself:

"What a difference! I was able to cut even the crusts so cleanly."

Let's take a closer look and see how it works!

Slices bread perfectly every time with "slanted cut" design

To see how easy it is to use this slicer, the writer first tried cutting bread as usual with her bread knife.

This is what happened when she sliced the loaf placed upright on the counter.

As you can see, it turned out to be uneven and even a bit messy looking.

That's where the "Bread Slicer with hood" comes in! The feature of this slicer is that it slices bread like this. Placing the loaf this way makes it more stable and easier to slice in the machine.

This should help you slice your bread to the ideal thickness. So, now it's time to actually put it to the test.

A convenient slicer with adjustable thickness!

The cutting guide of the slicer can be adjusted in five steps from 1 cm to 3 cm, allowing you to use it in different ways, from thin sandwiches to thick toast.

It can handle loaves of bread up to about 20 cm in height and 40 cm in width, which is a great size for larger loaves from bread machines.

First, insert the plastic adjustment panel to the thickness you want to cut, and place your loaf of bread in the slicer.

Once you've put your bread knife through the slit, cut the bread by holding it down and moving the knife straight and carefully.

"It was a little tricky to move the knife at first, but it was easy to hold the bread in place and slice it after I got the hang of it."

"Here is the bread I cut! The thickness was even, and the cross-section was beautiful and even!"

"I tried it at different thicknesses. I can't believe how beautifully it slices... It's just like bread from the store!"

You can easily change the thickness, so you'll be able to expand your options and try different things.

Easy to clean! It can also be used as a bread box!

In addition to comfort, another concern is how to clean the machine after use.

This home bakery slicer keeps bread crumbs underneath to prevent clutter, and the removable bottom plate makes it easy to dispose of crumbs.

It comes with a hood, so after using it as a slicer, you can use it directly as a bread box!

It can be used for homemade bread as well as unsliced store-bought bread.

"Personally, I wanted to use it for the fluffy, high-quality bread sold in specialty stores," admitted the writer. It's also recommended for people who don't own a bread machine!

Once you try the versatile and convenient "Bread Slicer with Hood," you'll surely think it's the best thing since sliced bread!
