Egg Slicer

A kitchen utensil that is used to cut hardboiled eggs into uniform round slices. This kitchen utensil is typically made of aluminum or stainless steel with wire blades that slice through the egg as it rests in an oval pocket. An egg slicer can be used to create individual slices for sandwiches, salads, canapes, or other similar needs. If large quantities of eggs are being prepared for salads, a method that works faily well to dice eggs is to use a common cooling rack with narrow-wired square grids. Simply place the cooling rack on top of an open bowl and press the egg through the cooling rack into the bowl below. It will typically dice the egg nicely and provide a faster method of dicing eggs quickly.
