How it Began

One evening, following a fulfilling family dinner, my son Robert offered a heartfelt compliment: “Mom, you’re great!” A sentiment any parent would find gratifying. It was then that my husband proposed an idea: “Why not extend this level of quality and care to others?”

Intrigued by the concept, the wheels began to turn, and thus, Mama’s Great was established. Our brand serves as an extension of the comfort and quality we’ve cultivated within our own home, now made accessible for your kitchen and living space.

The best serrated knife I’ve owned

I've tried a lot of serrated knives over the years, and this is hands-down my favorite. The blade is nice and long so that when you're making long, light strokes through a loaf of bread. It's very sharp, sharper than any of the others I have. It's also great for thin slicing meats, etc. The handle is well designed and comfortable, and appears to be something that will stand the test of time. Washing it (by hand, of course,) is extremely easy and it still looks like new. Again, this is a strong, sharp knife and it works the way it's supposed to. I would definitely order it again and I have no reservations about recommending it to others.
The best well thought out & well made slicing guide ever!

I love this slicing guide! I can choose thin or thick slices. It makes cutting even slices very easy. There are no more crushed loaves because the adjustable snug fit holds the loaf firmly. It is easy to set up, each piece fits firmly into the slots, there is no wobble & it's just as easy to take apart and fits in the drawer. I am so glad I chose this one!
Excellent bread slicer for homemade bread!

Waited several weeks for this bread slicer to come back in stock. It's the only one with adjustable width and 2 end boards so you can use it as a bagel slicer. I adjusted the width of the slicer to accommodate my loaf challah and used the narrowest slice width section, which is about 1/3 inch, to cut uniform slices. I was able to slice half the loaf before having to remove the cut slices and reinsert the loaf. The slices came out perfect for sandwiches or toast.

Very pleased with this bread slicer. I dropped all the slicing components on a tile floor right out of the box and nothing was damaged so it passed the clumsy baker durability test. All the cutting guides store in the base of the unit so I added a rubber band around the stored pieces to keep them from slipping out (see photo). I used the cutting board to slice dense banana bread and homemade wheat bread.
3 width options for the win!

I make small, fluffy loaves of bread and really appreciate the 3 different widths for the loaf. Sturdy, compact storage. Super happy with this!
I love it!

My hubby has a bad habit of cutting my bread while it's still hot and tends to squish the loaf in the process. This gadget is perfect for cutting homemade bread, even hot, without squishing it. I get uniform slices even on my largest loaves. I love it!
Works very well for bread machine loaves

This is a very well made bread slicer. The wood is of high quality and the cuts seem to be done with great precision. The parts all fit well with no movement nor are they too tight. We have a Panasonic bread machine. It makes excellent bread. However, the loaf it yields is on the large size both in width and height. Our last bread slicer could not manage the loaf size and we had to squeeze the loaf into the slicer. This was frustrating and yielded uneven slices with waste
Great slicer!

Great slicer!

Super easy to use bread slicer! The first one I received had a stop board that warped kinda funky after the initial wash so I contacted the company and they sent me a replacement super quick. Amazing customer service.
