travelingmamma: We had a commercial quality slicing machine in our kitchen when I was a child, but I've never owned one myself. When I bake bread, I prefer use a bread knife or an electric knife for relatively uniform slices.

I've always wished someone would invent a bread slicer along the lines of those egg slicers - the ones where you put the egg on a little tray and drop a guillotine over it, thus making perfectly even, aligned slices while keeping the egg in place.
