Slicer A device which cuts a hardcooked egg into neat slices with one swift stroke. It has an indented tray in which the egg rests and a cutting mechanism of parallel wires. To chop an egg, carefully reverse the sliced egg in the tray and cut through again. A deep, straight-sided dish designed for oven use. It may also serve as a casserole dish.
SouMe dishes are available in different sizes.
A straight-sided casserole, uncoated saucepan or baking dish of the same size can be substituted. Wedger Similar to a slicer, it cuts the egg into 6 equal parts rather than into slices. The wedger holds the egg upright as wires are pulled over to cut the wedges. When the wires are drawn down only partway, the egg can be opened to hold a stuffing or to resemble a flower. While eggs are widely known as breakfast entrees, they also perform in many other ways for the knowledgeable cook.
