Question 1

Can I change my Bread Slicer from Right Handed to Left Handed?

Accepted Answer

No, you cannot.
We bow (bend) the wooden handle and then attach the blade so that the blade is very taut.  If you remove the blade, the handle will return to its straight position and you will not be able to re-attach the blade.
If you need to change the style of the Slicer, just send it back to us and we will send you a Slicer with the correct blade orientation.

Question 2

Can I use a serving board as a cutting board?

Accepted Answer

Yes!  
All of our boards are made from solid hardwood and so are perfect for cutting, chopping and serving.
We recommend chopping and cutting on one side of the board and leaving the other side for serving.

Question 3

How often should I oil my Hardwood serving boards?

Accepted Answer

It varies depenging on how often you use your board.  The more often you use it, the more frequently you should oil it.  We use our boards every day and so oil them  4 - 5 times a year.  Your board will tell you when it needs oil.  When it starts to look slightly dry, you should oil it.

Question 4

How do I care for my cutting board?

Accepted Answer

Make sure to wash in warm soapy water, and dry immediatey.  For best results, lean the board against the counter wall until completely dry.  Allowing the air to circulate will help protect the board from warping.

Question 5

Do you sell replacement blades for your Bread and Bagel Slicer? Can I replace the blade myself?

Accepted Answer

We do not sell replacement blades for our Bread & Bagel Slicer.
 
We have specialized equipment that is used to attach the blade to the wooden handle.  The wooden handle is bowed slightly and then the blade is attached ensuring a taut blade for the best slicing results.  When the blade is removed, the handle will stretch out preventing you from reattaching the blade.
 
If, at any time, you would like a new blade, just return your Bread Slicer to us with $8.00 and a return shipping address and we will:
- Replace the Blade
- Refurbish the Handle
- Return it to you.

Question 6

Is the Bread and Bagel Slicer easy to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes!  Just use a gentle back and forth sawing motion as you move gently through the bread.  Very much like using a saw.  You do not need to push down strongly because the blade is very sharp and serrated and so slices easily through the bread.

Question 7

Are the ceramics and spreaders made in the USA?

Accepted Answer

We do not make the ceramic accessories or the spreader knives.  They are imported from China and Vietnam.
 
We do make all of our wood products here in Eugene, Oregon.
 
We use Red Alder a sustainable hardwood that flourishes along the lush coastal way fo the Pacific Northwest.  Red Alder is a fast growing hardwood that is replanted as it is harvested ensuring healthy forests for generations to come.
