Slicing Fresh Bread

[Comfreyfan]

I was taught to let the knife do the work, sawing to and fro aiming not to put too much downward pressure on the knife.
My aunt was my hero, she used to hold the bread in her arm and cut towards her (), but could cut the thinnest of slices without any holes.

I was rubbish when we first got our bread maker and looked at various options to assist. Never got around to buying anything but found that in the meantime, I'd learned how to do it OK. Just use a cheapo standard serrated bread knife on bread that's been out the maker about half an hour and don't have any problems. Keep with it, you'll get the hang of it.
