"A slightly more expensive knife." star star star star star Having started making my own bread and not being very accurate with cutting, I looked at various options and decided on the Lakeland slicer which was a reasonable price, just a tad more than a good quality knife. It was delivered quickly and as I had just made bread it was put straight to work It was easy to set up and worked wonderfully. It is a little noisy, but wonderfully efficient easy to use and easy to clean. I then used it to slice a rolled pork shoulder joint and that was a revelation, so quick so efficient , and above all a happy husband who hates carving.
