Norpro Bread Slicerand Guide with Crumb Catcher Review

Norpro Bread Slicerand Guide  with Crumb CatcherOnly two things could be adjusted for me to like this slicer better.1 - the grooves could be deeper to keep from slicing into the wood. 2 - the guide could be adjustable.Other than that, it is a handy tool to use with baked bread. We use a bread machine that makes a pound and a half loaf. This has really removed the guess work of slicing. The bread should be cooled a little before attempting to slice.We often take bread to functions and using this we now have nice even slices. It is a lot neater using it rather than a plain board, too.All in all, a great kitchen aide.

T-Fal OW5005001 Emerilware Bread-and-Baguette Maker Review

T-Fal OW5005001 Emerilware Bread-and-Baguette MakerI've tried almost every major brand of bread machine they make (including the Zojirushi), and returned ALL of them - until I got this one!The T-Fal OW5005002 Emerilware Bread-and-Baguette Maker does everything it says, and does it well!I've made cakes (they resemble pound cakes), the baguettes (adorable AND tasty), and several loaves of delicious bread in it!It has two paddles, which does make a difference when kneading dough.The crust selector works better than any other bread machine I've had, and I was really impressed that the breads came out with one texture, the cake another, and the french baguette recipe a third!It makes decently textured pizza dough too (though the delay timer doesn't work on the dough cycle, so I have to make it at the right time to have it ready for dinner).

The unit itself is pretty large, but it functions quietly, and stays in one place on the counter.The pan is 8 5/8" by 4 3/4" by 6" tall, so it makes a loaf that is actual loaf pan-sized!It has way more wattage than the Zo (1650 vs. 700), and so far is proving to be a stunning value!Highly, highly recommended!

I've since found out that the 'cake' cycle is the quick bread cycle.Bakes a wonderful one from a box (that's the only kind I've tried so far). Also, I've tried fat-free loaves and it worked great with them too.

I'm a little disappointed that there's no 'bake only' cycle.That would help me a lot with sourdough loaves.
