Egg Slicer and Wedger 2-in-1 with Stainless Wire Grid

The base is a matte plastic piece, and the stainless wires and ring do the cutting work. Hold the base steady and press straight down with an even hand. That keeps the wires taut for daily breakfast use. It is a budget-priced tool, so treat it with a little care rather than leaning on it.

It gives the cleanest rounds on fully hard-boiled eggs that have cooled. A soft yolk squashes and smears through the wires instead of slicing. Large eggs work too, though the wedges will look a little different from small ones.

Rinse both pieces right after each use, while the egg is still wet. Dried yolk bits get stuck between the wires and make the next cut less neat. Dry both pieces fully before you put them back in the drawer.

Yes. The rounds sit neatly on a deviled egg tray, and the flower wedges make a quick garnish for green salads, potato salad and party platters. Cut the eggs first, then arrange the pieces while they are still cool.

A basic wire slicer only gives you rounds, so most people end up adding a second gadget for wedges. This set covers both in one tool, with two pieces that store together. For the price of a single extra gadget, you get both cuts and no second drawer item to hunt for.
