Will this work on frozen bagels?

To answer that question, I tried it. A frozen bagel is difficult to cut and I quit trying before reaching the center. In the past I have successfully cut frozen bagels by zapping them in the microwave for about 20 seconds and then splitting them but I find the best way is to split the bagel as it comes into my home and then re-wrap it before freezing.

I've never tried this on frozen bagels and would not try. I slice my bagels before putting them in the freezer. They come out of the freezer rock hard.

I never attempted this, and I do not think that it will work. I have always thawed the bagel in a microwave oven for about 20 seconds. The bagel must remain firm in order to use this device as it will crush, not cut, a soft bagel. In general, attempting to cut a frozen bagel may be hazardous to your health (severed tendons, nerve damage) and a prelude to a trip to the ER.

No - they at least have to be partially thawed. Actually, a fully thawed bagel may crushed or misshapened during cutting. This doesn't happen with a fresh bagel. With all this said, it is still the best bagel slicer I have ever used.

I only use for frozen pizzas so far. I would hit with some oil if I used a fresh dough. You may want to do a test to see how far the dough will go through the holes.

I never tried, but I do know it works beautifully for regular size bagels so I imagine it would be fine.

Not at all - the Bagel Biter is the best thing since sliced, well, Bagels! I love mine. Even larger bagels fit in it, and one push and you are done! Rinses clean easily and is ready for next time. Get it!

No. As a matter of fact if the bagel is very fresh it isn't sharp enough to split it. It just kind of squashes it. Otherwise it works fine.

I have yet to find a bagel that it doesn't work on. Some of the ones I have used it for are very crusty and thick and there is no problem slicing them. Hope this info helps.

Yes. It 'bubbles' up the outer part of the bagel.And I use the top grill to heat up pastries. I love it!

I don't see why it wouldn't work. I haven't tried it as I have a food Processor and mini processor so haven't needed to use it in that way.. It crushes ice very well so should..

Yes it will do frozen fruits, use the mincing nozzle. For slush, crushing ice, use the blank screen and no nozzle.

I think it would work well unfrozen, with the only possible complication being if the bags stick together and too many try to come through at the same time. I only used them in the freezer. I had 2 and loved them. I used lansinoh bags frozen flat before stacking them in the rack, typically 5 ounces in each bag. I hope this helps!

We have not used the bagel function yet, so cannot comment on that part of the question. The bread toasts properly--evenly on both sides and works well on bakery-supplied bread or grocery store bread.

Yes but the quality ziplock freezer bags don't work because the zipper part is too thick. Use regular cheap store brand ones

Yes. Take caution in shuffling around in the freezer as other frozen items will pop this bag. These work great but I would imagine a vacuum seal would be better for a long term freeze (more than a month).

This thing is amazing. I microwave mine because they are very large & frozen. That Bagel Biter does not smoosh them.

Hi - I've never tried but I doubt it - we use it to cut bagels in half (and we really love it).

Yes. It works well on nuts, bacon, and other crunchy foods. I would not recommend it for ice.

I don't think it would unless it was a extremely thick English muffin. It is made to hold the thickness of a bagel in place for the blade to cut it in half. The standard English muffin that I have seen would not stand upright in the holder therefore the blade would not cut it evenly. It is wonderfully efficient in the cutting of bagels and we love it, even goes in the dishwasher!
