How come if you buy an uncut loaf and cut it you get crumbs, but if you buy a cut loaf and open it no crumbs?

Answer 1

For some reason, people use serated blades for cutting bread.

You should use a deep bladed sharp plain blade.

Try it, the difference is a crumb-less cut and you'll never use a serated knife again,

no idea why they market serated blades as bread knives........i wonder if one year they had a surplus of meat knives and the idea stuck,

Not wishing to become a total bore on this.....but they don't shake out the crumbs or anything like that. Use a plain knife and you'll see its the same smooth cut that you get in a packet - no crumbs. If they cut it with a serated knife the sliced loaf would be fiberous, or rough textured, they are not. There are no crumbs to "shake out" if they use a wire or plain knive.

I'm going now, even i'm getting scared as to how interested i become in the most benine subjects......

Answer 2

All the crumbs of a ready cut loaf are on the cutting room floor instead of yours.

Answer 3

When the bread that you buy is sliced at the bakery, they use an electric saw (with several blades) that cuts it into uniform slices. It's like a multiple-blade jigsaw. There are crumbs, but they fall into a tray below the saw; then they slide the whole, cut loaf into a bag and sell it to you (they then "harvest" the breadcrumbs, and sell THOSE separately).

Answer 4

The answer is simple, when the cut the bread they dispose of the crumbs prior to bagging the bread.

Answer 5

Because they shake out and remove the crumbs before putting it in the bag :)

Answer 6

Crumbs are left on the bakery floor?

Answer 7

When the bread is cut at the bakery the bread is still Hot/warm when they put it though the slicer. Thus...NO CRUMBS

Answer 8

they save them for crumb mountain

Answer 9

because they dont put the crumbs in the bag

Answer 10

Because it's already cut and they remove the crumbs.

Please don't tell me you are serious.
