I am DEFINITELY not going to cut anything myself.... the only cutting tool I remotely know how to use would pretty much be a butter knife.

Bob isn't too eager to go cutting into our galley with any type of tool, so I think I'll work on mount for the stove on it's side during travel and get a different bread box. Something will fit I'm sure.
That seems to be the way most people would go....instead of mutilating the tear.
