Review: Bread Slicing Guide from Temu – Worth It or Not?
As someone who has been learning to bake bread over the past couple of years, I’ve come to love the process. But slicing homemade loaves? That’s a whole different challenge. My slices often end up too thin, too thick, or uneven. So, when I spotted a bread-slicing guide on Temu for just $3, I decided to give it a try, hoping it would make my life easier.
Here’s my honest review of the product:
The Pros:
- The guide has multiple options for slice thickness. You place your loaf on a white plate, then slide your knife through one of the plastic slits depending on how thick you want your slices.
- It does guide you to make a perfect cut, as long as your bread in placed in straight.
- It folds up compactly, making it easy to store in small spaces.
The Cons:
- Fit Issues: The loaves I bake are taller and wider than store-bought bread but shorter in length. Unfortunately, this guide didn’t accommodate my tall loaves very well. I even had to smoosh the tops of some loaves to make them fit.
- Plastic Shavings: While slicing, I noticed my knife scraping against the plastic slits, which shaved off tiny pieces of plastic. The idea of plastic in my food is a definite dealbreaker.
- Flimsy Build: The guide felt lightweight and not particularly sturdy, which made the whole slicing process less satisfying.
Final Thoughts:
While I appreciate the compact design, I can’t recommend this bread-slicing guide. If you’re in the market for one, I suggest trying a bamboo version instead. It might take up more space, but it will likely be more durable and safer to use.
