Why bakers like it

  • Helps prevent squashed loaves. A circular serrated blade turned by a hand crank does the sawing, so you guide the loaf instead of pressing down on it.
  • Fits real home-baked bread. Takes loaves up to 5.5 in tall and 10 in wide: sourdough boules from 8 to 10 in bannetons and 9x5 sandwich loaves.
  • Counter-friendly and easy to look after. Solid oiled wood base, suction cup feet, a removable blade and a cleaning brush in the box.
