Four slicers that cut a hard-boiled egg into even rounds in one press, using a bed of taut stainless wires instead of a blade. The wires pass through the white and the yolk cleanly, so the slices hold together on the plate rather than crumbling as they would under a knife.
Quantity: 4.
Cutting wires: stainless steel.
Colour: blue.
Package size: about 12 x 9 x 4 cm, 60 g.
Eggs are the obvious use, but the same wires handle anything soft: strawberries for the top of a cake, kiwi, banana, mushrooms and soft cheese all slice evenly and quickly when you are making up a salad or a tray of appetisers.
The raised handle opens and closes easily, so the action is clear even to someone using one for the first time. It can go in the dishwasher, though hand washing is recommended for a longer life, and a rinse under the tap is usually enough.
