Artifact Overview
This egg slicer has a slotted dish for holding a peeled hard-boiled egg and a hinged plate made of wires that, when closed, slices the egg quickly and evenly--faster and more "eggs-actly" than one could with a knife. This food preparation utensil can also be used to slice other soft foods, such as strawberries or avocados.
