I will 2nd that one

 

...and MARCEL got it right! Joy got home and said, "That is a slicing guide for cutting a loaf of bread" I said, "Wouldn't that make really skinny slices of bread?" Joy replied, "You wouldn't have to use every slot - dumbo". She's right, again - as usual. This morning I told her I was feeling really good and was in a good mood. She said, "What's the matter - do you think it's a chemical imbalance?" I can't get ANY respect!

Thanks Marcel!

 

You're welcome. I can't imagine why anyone would buy one of those. What's wrong with developing a few knife skills? Too little drawer space too many useless gadgets. :no:

 

Otis,
My guess was going to be a collapsible dish drying rack for thin dishes.
Your house sounds like mine.

 

In my day, we had to slice bread without any jigs or fixtures......LOL.

Fresh bread delivered to the door each day, still warm from the bakery.

 

I think the best bread I have ever eaten was in Turkey. There was a bakery close to us, I think all they made was bread, they only sold it in the morning, and there was always a line, buying bread. Had a small window in a wall you bought your bread thru. Take it home, still warm, wonderful. They did something different than we do, maybe left something out, because if left out it would always be moldy on the second day. You could put it in the fridge, and it would be still be great for toast the next day, but it would still get moldy by the third day.

 

How about a banana rack. Adjustable to the amount of bannanas bought?

Just returned from Norway where you can find a large selection of good tasting, fresh bread on the market shelves. It comes double wrapped, the outer bag is paper with printing, the inner plastic. Remove the bread from the wrappers, place loaf on arm of slicing machine, press button and bread is sliced. Slide plastic bag over loaf and arm. Remove loaf and bag from arm and secure open end, slide this bag into the paper bag . Takes about 30 seconds. Pick up some butter, brunost (brown cheese), jam (preferably cloud berry) and enjoy.

 

This is much like my introduction to fresh bread when I was a boy. We had no inner plastic bag though just a paper bag. We didn't do the packaging or the slicing because the baker had an assistant to do that for us but I would watch her behind the counter. Now you can get similar experience at a restaurant chain store called Panera Bread.

 

Boy I thought there was a lot more to making butter I'm going to give it a try. Thanks for the post Marcel.

 

You are welcome bdusten. You can add ingredients in the final stage and make compound butter as well which is great on vegetables.

 

Wow! I think I've inadvertantly found a subject many of us are more passionate about than our routers - eating freshly baked bread! I'm needing to quit reading these comments, though; it is making me HUNGRY!

Just yesterday someone asked if I was "having a boy or a girl?" My reply was, "We don't know yet - but we hope it is healthy"!

You guys are TOO MUCH!

Again? You didnt tell me!!!!:fie:

 

Just bake a loaf that fits in a miter box, then you can even slice your bread @ 45 degrees or 90 degrees

 

I'm thinking of using one of these with a fine tooth blade.

 

Here is how the professional bakery's slice bread.

Glenn! First let me say "Welcome to the Router Forums", but Secondly I must ask you a question... that 45* or 90*...are you talking 45* Fehrenheit or Celsius? Same question on the 90* F or C? Just curious because I don't want to eat my bread too hot or too cold, but I do think butter will spread really good at 90*C!

Thanks again, you guys made me laugh so loud it woke-up my wife!

whats tis gadget

Hi guys I use one of these. regards carl

 

I do remember the hand crank phones though. They have them for cell phones here in Japan for when the electricity is out.
Steve

Wow! Now THAT (hand crank cell phones) would really be dangerous here in Georgia - where there is a big problem with people texting and driving! It's bad enough when someone texts and drives - but can you imagine if they were texting and cranking and driving? I get a really funny mental image here.

It is bad enough that people TALK on their cell phones while driving, but over many years and miles of driving - I've seen things that top that off! We've all seen ladies putting-on lipstick and makeup, but I've seen a man brushing his teeth!..and another man was putting-on deodorant while driving! Women breast-feeding their babies while driving is one of my personal favorites (when they switch "outlets")!..and a couple of times I've seen the driver and passenger CHANGE PLACES while driving!

I saw something (that to me was even funnier)...I was gassing-up my pickup truck, while a guy just across from me was using the "sponge/squeege on a stick" (intended to use on windshields) to wash his ENTIRE CAR!

Later,
Otis

yes love the fresh warm bread my mom use to make, yummy

 

Making for plain butter is not tough thank you marcel for sharing your video.

 

You are welcome Alysha. Let us know of your experience after you've made it.

 

Besides a little woodworking one of my pastimes is making bread. I know a farmer who gives me high protein wheat in return for an occasional loaf of bread. Another who gives me rye with the same deal. A brewer who gives me a little malted barley, same deal. Last Tuesday I made the best whole wheat bread I've ever made and a batch of Danish pumpernickel that is pretty good too. I've slowed down in the hot weather but I normally bake at least once a week. I stone grind the grain and start from scratch and the whole wheat recipe is only in my head. I use a large Bosch mixer so I mix 4 loaves at a time. 8 cups of fresh whole wheat flour, 4 cups of white unbleached bread flour, 2 or 3 packets of instant yeast, (that is also 2 or 3 tablespoons if you buy yeast in large packages) 2 tablespoons of barley malt, 2 tablespoons of kosher salt, 6 tablespoons of melted shortening. Mix, knead in the mixer, let rise to doubled, lightly knead down and quarter, form loaves and let rise until again doubled and bake for 45 min at 360. The rye is a little more complicated but not much. The bread is good enough that I have enough wheat for more than year of baking and enough rye for two years. Cant get much cheaper than that. The only science I use in bread baking is the malt powder and that is because high protein wheat just won't brown nicely unless you add the malt powder. I'd share if I could.

 

Way to go Jack!!!!

 

Makes me want some home baked bread. I have tried in the past with unlimited failures. Wife, who can do it well isn't keen on the idea now so I guess I'm out of luck.

 

...humph...a bread slicing jig...who'da thunk...

I was going to say "loom" of sorts...
