What to Look For When Buying a Bagel Slicer Machine

So, you own a bakery or simply want to serve perfectly sliced bagels to your folks, but you don’t want to injure your hands with bagel knives like you probably have in the past. Well, here are some tips on how to choose the right bagel slicer machines and maybe the solution to your bagel business! 

A Guide to Choosing the Right Bagel Slicer

Why Do You Need to Have a Commercial Bagel Slicer Machine For Your Bakery?

People come to your bakery for delicious and freshly baked goods, but if they have to wait for you to slice it by hand, it may take longer than they’d want. You can give customers the bread they want fast and easily by using commercial bread and bagel slicers, and you can help your team speed up the process as well.

Because there are so many options, you might be tempted to pick the first bagel slicer you see. Isn’t it true that these are extremely basic items? Truth is, they are, but you’ll have a better chance of finding the right slicer for you if you consider the following factors.

Material

Metal, plastic, and even wooden slicers are available. Check to see if the plastic bagel slicers are BPA-free and food-safe before using them. 

Plastic bagel slicers are inexpensive and simple to use, but they are also easily damaged. Slicers made of stainless steel, on the other hand, are built to last. Look for stainless-steel bodies and blades that are rustproofed.

Design

Guillotine slicers, despite their popularity, are not dangerous. Manufacturers designed these slicers to be both safe and effective in cutting accurate slices. 

You could also come across versions that allow you to slice in a number of ways. Bagel knives and bagel biters are also available. For the most ergonomic experience, we recommend bagel slicers with adjustable handles.

Safety Features

One of the most compelling reasons to invest in a bagel slicer machine is to save time and the trouble of cutting bagels with a kitchen knife, which is unlikely to cut your bagels exactly. 

Commercial bagel slicers are designed to be safe to use, so be sure the model you’re contemplating is both accurate and safe.

Cleaning and Convenience

Check to see if the slicer you are considering is easy to clean and user-friendly. Daily cleaning is an expected part of the baking routine, so keep that in mind while selecting a machine. Also, ask about seeing the daily cleaning methods for the gadgets you are interested in from the provider.

Upkeeping and Maintenance 

Because slicing bread or bagel produces crumbs, you will want to look for a commercial slicer with features like removable parts and a crumb drawer for simple cleaning and maintenance. Bagging is another characteristic to consider when purchasing a commercial bread cutter. If you need to bag bread quickly, look for a model with front-mounted bagging. You will save time getting your bread ready for sale.
