The Bartelt Crumb Box keeps countertops clean while slicing crusty bread, as crumbs fall through the grates into the box. This crumb box is great for recipes tat call out breadcrumbs because the box stores them up in a tidy container. The removable grid allows easy access and can also serve as a trivit. This crumb box is hand-made of alder wood with box joint construction and with a hard wood grid for everyday use.
Perhaps the next-greatest thing since sliced bread, this crumb box will aid in the cutting of most baked goods--from a homemade bread with soft crust to a difficult-to-cut peasant bread with hard crust. Decorative and functional, the box portion has been carefully crafted out of pine with tongue-and-groove styling, and it's been finely sanded to avoid any sharp encounters. The grill upon which the baked good sits is also made of pine. As a warning, it is a bit rough and may show knife cuts if not used with caution. --Teresa Simanton

No more crumbs:
I love this bread cutting box. If you love having French or Italian bread, you've got to have this item. It keeps you counter clear of crumbs because they all fall into the box for easy emptying.
Nice to have:
When I'm not using this to slice bread, I keep it underneath my toaster to catch crumbs.
no more mess:
It was so easy to use and just pour the crumbs into the garbage when I was done. Rather than have crumbs all over the counter because there was nowhere for them to go. It didn't catch all of the crumbs, but the majority of them.
