If you’re someone who struggles to slice a good, even piece of bread, you’ve probably thought, “there’s got to be a better way to do this.” And there is! While you can always buy presliced bread at the grocery store or get a pricey electric slicer, there’s an easier way to get uniform slices at home. There are tons of manual bread slicers out there that can help you evenly carve through the dense, tough crust, and we’ve rounded up the top picks for 2024 below. 

Yes, bread slicers exist, and we aren’t just talking about those guillotines that effortlessly slide through even the most dense of bagels. No, these are bread slicers that’ll transform the way you chisel your way through bread, often built with tough wood and equally spaced slots — wide enough for a bread knife — that’ll guarantee identical bread slices. 

Below are some of our favorites that you can buy right now. Whether you’re prepping large batches of french toast or grilled cheese, or you simply need a bevy of equal-size slices (we get it, symmetry is important), these are sure to do the trick.
