Is there a suggested way to clean the bagel cutter?

Wipe it out with a folded paper towel to dislodge crumbs and any other debris.

I can't answer that as I gave it as a gift. I would imagine, as i is bamboo, aa wipe down with soap & water & rinse would not harm it.

I just shake out the crumbs, but a bottle brush works if you want to use soap.

I use soft scrub on the surface to get off the 'stuck' pieces and then put it in the dishwasher. Never had a problem.

As others have said it cant be cleaned so what i do is cover the inside lid with tin foil and make sure when the top of blade punctures the foil to get it out so it does not go in food..As soon as i put foil on and put the lid on tight i pull it off right away to get the foil then back on to chop!

You might try soaking it in hydrogen peroxide and water or running it thru the dishwasher on the top shelf.

To answer that question, I tried it. A frozen bagel is difficult to cut and I quit trying before reaching the center. In the past I have successfully cut frozen bagels by zapping them in the microwave for about 20 seconds and then splitting them but I find the best way is to split the bagel as it comes into my home and then re-wrap it before freezing.

Before I put the bagel in the cutter, I do press it down to flatten it a bit. Sometimes the top will stick out, I will just line up the cutter edge and press down.

I use the brush provided and a dot of detergent in a circular motion to clean the blade and mesh. It usually is the most time consuming part. Everything else is easy with warm soapy water and a rag/sponge.

Normally we just brush the bread crumbs off and fold it up. The plastic bottom tray does get a litte frayed looked after a couple of hundred loaves, especially if the slicer is heavy-handed with the knife, so then I use a non-metal pot cleaner pad to smooth it out, If the slight browning from the crust bothers you, you could use a little vinegar or bleach. The wooden parts do not need cleaning, unless you are slicing something really sticky, such as a cinnamon loaf, then just wipe with a wet towel to clean off the honey or molasses.

No there is no cleaning tool. For me i found that putting garlic into the press without taking off the outer skin works great, saves time too.Simply running it under water, or for stubborn pieces using a toothpick fixes all the issues. Running water clears the basket just fine for me.

Mine didn't come with a cleaning piece either, but I just flip out the "basket" and use a knife to pry off the leftovers...then rinse under a faucet to get the rest out and run it through the dishwasher. Never had anything stick to it.

I actually wash mine by hand. Just be careful. It's a great slicer. Especially with kids.

Our staff has no problem with the cleaning our 10-inch LEM Slicer. It is very generic. Take all removable parts off easily. Clean each separately. Use extra caution removing the blade for obvious reasons. Once all is clean and sanitized replace as required. It is not hard to do unless you are just simply lazy and don't want to be bothered! Its all about owning equipment & taking care of it properly.

Clean the top of the grate with a bbq grill brush, pour some olive oil in a paper towel and wipe the tops of the grate with the wet part of the paper towel. Also, if you're cooking "sticky" type food, use a thin metal spatula to break loose the item you want to turn before hand.

Just got it a few days ago. Not sure how helpful this is, but immediately after using, I typically rinse the areas that would have come in contact with food, then dry with a towel. I suppose you could fit a damp/soapy q-tip behind the cutting blade if something got really stuck in there, then rinse lightly and dry. As someone already suggested, a small brush or even toothbrush seems like a good idea.

I don't have a dishwasher so I usually use scotchbrite on the underside of the blade. A stiff cleaning brush from back to front should work well also.

I took the blade off to clean it. Be advised the blade is very sharp. Watch how u handle it.

remove the small screws on the back and snap that piece off; you can then clean the blade
