Can you use an electric knife with this bread slicer guide?

If the knife blades are 9 inches long or shorter, it won't work. a 9 inch long knife will go down to the two wood 'rails' but not to the base. That is, you can cut down to about the last half inch. What happens is that the knife blades rivet (the pin that holds the end of the blades together) hits the wood rail and the blade isn't long enough to get the rivet away from it. Unfortunate, because with a manufacturing modification, the 9 inch blade could work -- it does down to the wood rails. The arches are wide enough apart to accommodate the 9 inch blade.

I have a Black and Decker electric knife and it will fit in the slot as long as the button that connects the two blades at the tip is not in the slot or the blades will not go all the way to the base.

I've never used an electric knife. My guess is that it might not work well with the metal guide that fits very tightly against the knife blade. Also, it might damage the wood base. But I don't know for sure.

Unless your electric knife is EXTREMELY narrow, it will not. Even fitting a normal bread knife is very tight.

Its a pretty thin gap between the metal guides so if the blade is long/far away enough from the handle then yes.

I would not, the guides are made for a standard 10" bread knife. A double bladed electric knife would most likely be too thick to easily pass through the guide .

No. The area where the steel guides come together at the bottom is too narrow. Even if it fit, the chances of it chewing up the wood base are quite high. I purchased a 10-inch Chicago Cutlery bread knife to use with this guide and it works very well. You do need a long blade.

I have heard you can use an electric carving knife for a clean cut.Good luck!

The best thing is an electric meat cutter. It cuts it very easy. Use a table edge as a guide

The food slicer is electric.I apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

I haven't tried so I can't say one way or the other. My recollection is, that the position of the plug relative to the knife might make it awkward. Additionally, I'm not sure that the electrical connection would be maintained during the filleting process.

I have a bread slicing guide I use with a serrated bread knife. I've also noted that the loaves slice more easily when they have been stored a few hours in a plastic bag after it has cooled. It seems to soften the top crust a little so the knife won't just make it crumble. I also use the "soft" setting even if the recipe calls for regular or firm. The loaves seem to cut better and hold together better.

Yes - This knife truly cuts even a hard crusted bread beautifully. You (in my opinion) cannot go wrong here.

I would think that this would work great on any meat.Electric knives usually are wide blades with blunt tips, where these are narrow and pointed tipsallowing for increased flexibility.

No, you'd need to buy the Borner Adjustable Wave/Waffle Slicer. I have the Borner V Power and it doesn't have a waffle blade. What you can achieve with the blades provided are Blade #1 = thin, medium, and thick slices; Blade #2 = small Julienne strips (3.5 mm), and; Blade #3 = bigger julienne strips (7 mm). I think you can do a fancy trick with the julienne blade and make cubes too, but that's about it. Still love the mandoline though!

I got my electric knife out this morning and it did fit between the slots. I did not cut all the way through the bread to the cutting board. I did not want to damage the board. I did have to do a little cutting on the bottom with a regular knife. I did not have to hold the sides steady so it worked out pretty well. Again, be careful with the board. Hope this helps.P. Hirt

You could but probably wouldn't want to because a knife will leave marks. I would recommend you add a separate cutting board.

No. Do not invest in this slicer. It is extremely difficult to clean and the instruction book was translated into English VERY POORLY.

I don't know about working with an electric knife. I've never used my slicer. When it arrived, there was "some assembly required," and the instructions were all in Japanese.

Yes you do not have to attach the plastic cutting guide. It just helps you make uniform slices & the crumbs are caught in the wooden tray
