Does it hold the whole loaf for slicing the whole loaf all at once.

Yes it does hold a whole loaf and is very sturdy. I am very pleased, it is an excellent product.

YES. My only issue was that the slices are rather thin for me. I bought some plastic washers to put in between the slice bars to make them slightly thicker. The piece is very well made and should last for many years.

A loaf of bread is inserted between the plastic uprights then you bring your knife down between each set of uprights for one slice of bread at a time.

YES. I thought the slices were a bit too thin for me so I bought some plastic washers to put in between the slice bars. Very well made piece. It should last for many years.

Yes, as long as it wasn't one that puffed up well over the top of the container. But if that is the case, just cut a few slices off the bottom and slide it down.

The Presto slicing guide will hold an 9 inch loaf very nicely. If the loaf is any longer then this you can cut the loaf in half before slicing.

I can fit a 2 lb loaf in it. A bit of end does hang over but not enough to cause the loaf to fall apart. Im may depend on the machine pan or loaf pan size as well. My loaf isnt long.I love my slicing guide. Best investment besides the bread machine :)

Yes, it will hold up to a 2 lb bread machine loaf. If the loaf overhangs, start slicing at enclosed end, remove slides, continue slicing. This is the best available bread slicing guide on the market.

No, the loaf is placed between the plastic uprights and you bring your knife down between a set of the uprights at a time for each slice.

I am not sure. If it is a loaf (vise already pre sliced) it shouldn't be a problem. My loafs are pretty large, so it will accommodate large sizes as well as the smaller size. I love the fact it can slice the different thickness also.I hope I was able to answer your question.Thank you

Screws hold the plastic part on so you can detach it but then it wouldn't be a bread slicer guide. The plastic part has spaces so you can make straight, even slices.

Sorry, I purchased this as a gift and although I'd say it holds a regular sized loaf of bread I have not actually used it.

The paddle is meant to bake inside the bread. Then you take the loaf out, and retrieve the paddle if it's inside. Makes sure to take it out before you slice. :) I had another machine that the paddle did not come off. What a pain in the neck it was to clean! And it was hard to get the loaf out. This is a much better design.

Sorry if multiple answers. Keeps cutting me off. Single reg slices can fit 4 depending upon loaf cut on bias 2. Sandwiches; thin slices only. Dualit oven works better for larger stuff. Luv both!

There are fixed slots used to guide the knife. It is nice to have the loaf traight and uniform slives. You could use a shim to hold the loaf away from the end but not worth the effort.

I use mine with all my knives on it both the big and small ones.Very sturdy!

We put the plastic divider at the point where the size changes and use that as the stop for the bread. Pull the sliced bread out and move the loaf forward against the stop to complete slicing. It is true that you can slice only half a loaf at a time, but we slice 10 to 12 loaves (to make 80 to 100 sandwiches) and find the amount of time "wasted" is minimal. Three of the volunteers who work with us have since purchased this slicer to use at home. I talked to a carpenter friend of mine and he said it would be possible to set up the rods for uniform slice size, but it would involve removing the unwanted rods, reaming out new slots, and gluing the rods back in. He said (I think jokingly) that it would be easier and more cost effective to get 2 or 3 slicers and glue the ends together if moving the loaf was so annoying. We found the best way to get efficient with the slicer was for 2 or 3 people to work together, critiquing each others techniques. For example, I was cutting cross-handed, and simply turning the slicer around so my dominant (right) hand held the knife and my subordinate (left) hand pushed the bread against the backstop more than doubled my speed and cut way down on my frustration, uneven slices, etc.

No, it only slices. The one I ordered I only used twice. The second time the plastic holding the blade broke and the blade feel out.

Yes, we use it for crusty bread as well as soft sandwich loaves and it is really awesome for both. Better than my expensive wedding gift knives

I bought this as a gift to my mother so I don't have it here in order to actually measure the slots (sorry). I do know that she toasts regular sized bread and bagels without a problem. I looked at it prior to wrapping it for her and I seriously doubt it would be able to handle the longer deli type slices. Sorry I couldn't be more specific and I hope this helps.

Yes it does. My friend removes his paddle after the dough is made on the regular mode. Then he doesn't have the paddle hole in his baked loaf. Pure Genius!! Have fun, Kathy. This is a great machine

No it has worked fine for slicing about a pound or two of meat at a time. That's all I need it for. I love mine!

Yes, but it will be snug and the end hangs out a bit (4 slices on a normal loaf).

This Bread Keeper can accomodate a "loaf" that is 6" x 6" X 9" - So, with that said, one can insert a full loaf and a partial loaf which I have done. It does a good job of keeping a loaf several days on the counter. I strongly recemmend this item. Sincerely, Bruce S. Kamer

YES! It will store 2 standard-sized loaves of bread easily. I hope this helps.
