I've often managed to slice the bread somewhat unevenly lol and I'd like to get something that 'll improve this ...... any SENSIBLE suggestions WILL be appreciated |

| 597223 | 2007-10-02 17:39:00 | How about one of these? About $30 at Briscoes from memory. Combined with a good solid serated bread knife might make a good present. (Throw in a can of oven cleaner and some vacuum cleaner bags and Bob's your uncle....:horrified ) www.breville.com.au |

| 597224 | 2007-10-02 18:44:00 | any SENSIBLE suggestions WILL be appreciatedYou simply begged for this suggestion... 1) Go to Briscoes and purchase five serrated bread knives. 2) Go to local hardware store and purchase 4 1/4" dowels plus a roll of duct tape. 3) Tape the knives together with the dowels between the knive's handles. Result - one innovative breadslicer! |

(Throw in a can of oven cleaner and some vacuum cleaner bags and Bob's your uncle we already have an excellent knife for the job as for the oven cleaner and vacuum cleaner bags that'd be pushing it a bit......and yep bob IS my uncle ! |

| 597226 | 2007-10-02 20:42:00 | You searched TM for bread slicer? Theres those plastic things you put the loaf in and it guides the knife. Or those hand wind slicer things you use for meat and bread. WHich one/ Seems a bit extreme, a gadget to slice bread.................buy her a new graphics card instead - thats what I'd like..... |
