I've been baking sourdough bread for 30 years, always used a bread knife to slice the bread. Started with the gadgets that have multiple slots to slice the bread, never found one that worked well. Stopped using those gadgets and just free hand sliced the bread with a bread knife. I have six different bread knives, always looking for the perfect knife. I was considering a Shun bread knife, started looking at the Zassenhaus bread slicer. The original model seemed to fit the bill, but was no longer available. Newer model hasn't got as many features I wanted, so it was not in the running. I did a web search and found the Ritter site in Germany. Looked like the same slicer as the one on Amazon, but had a different name. Turns out they are identical, and i ordered the slicer from Amazon Germany.I love this machine! Slicing is effortless, the bread slices are guided away from the crank handle and the thickness mechanism holds its setting. There is another version of this slicer that incorporates a bamboo board to catch the slices. I just placed a small cutting board under the sliver to catch the slices, gives the same function for less money and a smaller footprint on the counter. The suction cups hold the slicer to my Corian countertop, no slipping.There is an optional blade I purchased for slicing meat and vegetables, much safer than my mandoline. Overall, a great product.

Before this slicer, I had an electric slicer that broke almost immediately. I have used this to slice 100+ loaves of bread and it still works like new. I did drop the little sliding tray and it did bend, but I was able to bend it back straight...mostly.The thickness dial works amazing and allows for very fine control of thickness with no hassle. I've even done very thin potato chips with this.

Seit mehreren Monaten im Einsatz. Wir schneiden primär Brot mit ihm auf - das Gerät steht sicher, Scheibendicke lässt sich problemlos einstellen, Reinigung ist unkompliziert möglich.

I am so pleased with this machine which was worth the wait and export costs from Germany….I tried another slicer before this which was flimsy with suction pads that did not adhere to any surface. This machine is excellent…..sturdy, and well constructed….I purchased it specifically for slicing my home made sourdough bread which is notoriously difficult to cut into even width slices…the width adjustment dial allows me to choose from a fine slice for sandwiches or a chunky slice for toast….its that easy! The guard helps when the loaf is nearly cut through and ensures your fingers are safe from the blade! I also like the holding bar that pushes the slices through and keeps the bread well away from the handle. The trick I’ve found is not to turn the handle too slowly- it needs a fairly quick movement….a soft brush wipes away the crumbs afterwards. Stack the bread neatly as each slice comes off the blade!I haven’t used this for anything other than bread at the moment, but the range of thicknesses should allow me to cut the thinnest of vegetables - I’m thinking cucumber, onions, courgettes, potatoes for dauphinoise (!) as well as slices of cheese and meat.I am happy that I paid extra for such an efficient way to cut my bread….if you are a sourdough baker, I highly recommend this machine for that alone….
