The wonderful thing about this egg slicer (besides its hefty weight and superb quality) is that it can slice eggs into ovals or rounds, depending on which way you place the egg. Great for slicing mushrooms too!Reviews
Great all-steel egg-slicer
By T.C.
I picked this up several years ago in the KitchenEtc store and absolutely love it. It's an all steel egg-slicer (not a cross-cut slicer). It's great for cutting mushrooms and strawberries as well.
I usually use it to slice the eggs in all three dimensions for my salads. It slices evenly every time and the wires are sharp enough to keep slicing the egg when I turn the egg around to slice it vertically.
It has a nice heavy feel to it and sits sturdily on the counter without slipping, tho I find I'm always holding it in my hand to slice the eggs.
This is dishwasher safe. It has kept its beautiful shine all these four years later. If you're going to hand wash it, just make sure you get in those little crevices under the slicer.
Premier egg slicer
By Kathlyn Storey (Rancho Murieta, CA)
If you had told me that I would spend $13 for an egg slicer, I would have told you that I would be committed first. Well, I've broken two slicers, and bought another one for $2.50 and was displeased with it. I carefully read all the reviews of this one and decided to go for it. I am not disappointed. This one is so well made that it will probably outlive me. I especially like the fact that it slices eggs in either direction, and of course, that it goes in the dishwasher. Supposedly it will slice mushrooms and kiwi, so I'm going to try it out. This model is fairly heavy, and the wires are substantial. You get what you pay for. I hope that this is the last one of these that I buy; if not, I will revisit this review.
Only the wire cutters are stainless.
By Prudent buyer (California)
It's okay, but I was disappointed. Only the wire cutters are stainless. The Slicer is chrome. I didn't want that because I knew it would start to show rust marks if I didn't dry it completely each time.
