Hoan Bagel Guillotine Slicer
I have never used a Bagel Slicer before. I have always used a serrated knife with no problems, however, my husband wanted this Hoan Bagel Guillotine Slicer for Christmas. Here are the steps, results and my opinion of this Hoan Bagel Guillotine Slicer.
It appears to be very well made and extremely sharp.
They have a nice protective cover for the sharp blade.
You pull the handle up and off exposing the sharp blade.
.
Put your bagel in the base.
Problem #1 is the bagel was too big and didn’t fit.
I had to find a smaller bagel.
Put the top section with the blade back on the base
pushing the blade through the bagel.
Push hard forcing the blade through the entire bagel.
Problem #2 is the bagel was too soft and the bagel started to collapse.
We had to turn the bagel to a more sturdy part.
Push the blade all the way through the bagel.
Problem #3 is the blade didn’t completely cut through the entire bagel.
It left just a small edge uncut, and I had to pull it apart on the bottom edge.
The final cut was very nice and the Bagel went back into shape.
Overall this did a nice job as long as the bagel fit.
In my opinion, Bagel Slicers are not worth
the money unless you have dozens of bagels to slice.
This Bagel Slicer cost $19.99 at Amazon.
A serrated knife is still my best bet because I only eat one at a time.

I use knife…think it’s better😂😂
I agree!
Like a lot of other kitchen gadgets that are dreamt up, but not designed by people who are knowledgeable about the item. Good to see an honest and detailed review. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! I don’t get free products or money for reviewing them it is just items we try for fun. Occasionally we find a good one!
I used to have a bagel holder that let me place my knife right down the middle! No idea where it is now. It’s not pictured on Amazon or eBay! Oh, well, I rarely eat bagels anymore! 😉
And a knife is so simple! Actually, I don’t know why they don’t sell bagels already sliced like everything else!
But then they couldn’t sell the bagel holders! LOL! 😆
Right! Lol
Looks a tad brutal. Poor bagel 😔
Hahaha!
ahahah.
I need a little favor from you. I wanted a tried and tested crepes (basic) and pancakes (basic) recipe.
since I find your recipes simple to follow and practical I will highly appreciate if you can share with me 🙂
http://indianeskitchen.com/2017/11/17/homemade-pancakes This is simple and really delicious! We make these all the time. I use to make crepes and had a great recipe. I will try to remember to put them on my to do list because I love crepes! I even bought a crepe maker {me and my gadgets} from a garage sale just to try it. I haven’t tried it yet so this gives me a good excuse!
Its great
Thanks
So good to see an honest review! I can’t see how this would be quicker than a knife. A knife washes up quicker and takes less space in the kitchen too! Thanks for sharing.
Yes a knife is so much easier! Especially at $19.99 for the slicer.
Well… I’m guessing that’s more convenient than a knife…
Not really it’s a lot easier cleaning a knife!
Amazing the things people come up with. The bagels we buy are typically 99% pre-sliced. My butter knife can finish the job!
Haha I don’t know why they don’t slice them. It’s always the ones from the bakery that aren’t sliced. Happy New Year!
Happy new year to you as well, Diane! 🙂
Thank you!
