Hand-operated bread slicers
Hand-operated bread slicers are small kitchen appliances operated using your own muscle strength via a crank. The crank is turned to move the blade. That being said, hand-operated bread slicers are not inferior to electric models in any way. They are just as capable of cutting a wide variety of foods into even slices. Slight pressure and constant feeding are all it takes to obtain slices of the same precision produced using an electric appliance. Coordination of the various hand movements is the only thing that may take some practice. Some people may initially experience difficulty with feeding the material to be sliced into the blade with the left hand while simultaneously turning the crank with the right hand.
However, the crank itself is very smooth and can be operated with little force. Various models are offered so everyone is sure to find the right appliance for their needs. The crank is available with a premium beech wood handle or a black plastic handle. Both fit comfortably in your hand and are easy to operate.
Naturally, a big advantage of hand-operated bread slicers is that they don't use electricity, so they can be used anywhere with total flexibility. There is no need for an outlet so you are free to choose where you want to work with the hand-operated bread slicer. This brings economical slicing to your kitchen with very little maintenance.
The flexible guide bracket for the food to be sliced improves the discharge of large, hard foods during slicing. It can be folded up or down depending on the type of food. To slice large, harder foods such as a big loaf of bread or an ample piece of bacon, leave the guide bracket in its position directly behind the blade. This has the advantage that the food that has just been sliced will not interfere with or block the movement of the crank. To ensure that slices of smaller, softer foods, such as a thin salami or cheese, land on the plate, fold the guide bracket for the food to be sliced up and simply let the sliced food drop off the circular blade without it.
The hand-operated bread slicer has four suction feet for a non-slip and solid footing. Just push the appliance down slightly on the work surface to engage the silicone suction feet, ensuring that the hand-operated bread slicer stays firmly in place during slicing.
