The Kiss Core Bread Slicer is an updated design that moves away from traditional wood in favor of high-density ABS polymer. This material choice provides a practical reality of easier maintenance, as the non-porous surface is generally more resistant to moisture and can be placed in the dishwasher. The build quality features an adjustable width mechanism that ranges from 4.5 to 6.3 inches, using a spring-loaded tensioner to help keep the guide rails steady while you work.
This unit is designed to accommodate a variety of bread shapes, from slim sandwich loaves to larger sourdough boules. Features include a Z-fold design that allows the entire station to collapse into a very small footprint for storage. To maintain the smooth surface of the plastic guides, using a 10-inch or longer serrated blade is recommended. Longer blades allow for a more level sawing motion, which helps prevent the knife from catching or scoring the inner rails over long-term use.
While the ABS frame is sturdy, it is lightweight. When slicing very dense or heavy rye loaves, placing the unit on a non-slip mat or ensuring the built-in silicone feet are clean will help provide the necessary base stabilization. The folding hinges are mechanical stress points, so avoiding excessive force when opening or closing the unit will support its long-term durability.
If you prefer the look and feel of natural wood for your kitchen gadgets, the Bambüsi Bamboo Slicer offers a classic aesthetic with a similar folding footprint.
