The wires aren't exposed because the plastic has been sealed around them. But, as long as you only slice peeled eggs, I doubt they'll ever break.
Yes. When I make deviled eggs, it comes in handy. Eggs will be sliced, quartered, and halved with this machine.
Because the set slice thickness is too wide for one grape, you'll have to cut it in half; The grape-sitting recess in the bottom plate is also large enough to fit an egg, which would prevent the grapes from always being seated in the same relative position to the cutting wires. You'd be better off and faster using a sharp tomato utility knife for all the effort involved in positioning the grapes in the same aspect for uniform slicing from one to the next.

My initial motivation for purchasing the Prepworks Egg Slicer was that it was one of the few that had a half-moon shaped blade. I bought an egg splitter to make deviled eggs, but I can't say enough about how well the wires have held up. br>br>I've been using this egg slicer every day for over a month and have sliced well over 100 eggs - The wires are still tight and intact, which is a big problem with many egg slicers that use cutting wires - they either loosen or break. I purchased another product (the Casabella Hand Held Egg Slicer), and one of the ten wires was loose (to the point where the wire would miss the cutting slot and fail to cut the egg) - The Prepworks Egg Slicer wires, on the other hand, have proven to be extremely reliable. br>br>Most of the time, I use the multi-step method. a slice cutter, as well as a half-cut The wedge cutter is less useful than the egg cutter for deviled eggs. I hand wash the wires rather than using the dishwasher, so that could be part of the reason for the product's longevity. br>br>Another point to consider, if it matters to you in terms of food: The Prepworks multi-purpose software is ideal for presentations. Rather than cutting the egg crosswise, the slice cutter is designed to cut it lengthwise. As a result, instead of round slices, you get "egg shaped" slices.
A chorus of "Mind Blown!" erupted as soon as the first apple was cut. " Seeing an apple perfectly sliced AND cored in less than 2 seconds is truly amazing. It gets five stars just for that. There are a few minor flaws to be aware of. br>br> 1) It will not work on large apples (such as Honey Crisps or Granny Smiths). "Costco sized," as it were. " 2) Because of the numerous edges and angles, cleaning is a chore. After every use (daily! ), we've resorted to a quick rinse with hot water. ) and then toss it into the dishwasher whenever you're ready to do a load. br>br>By the way, one of the edges (the one that points down toward the apple) is quite sharp. The back side (facing you) is duller, similar to the back side of a steak knife), so be careful when washing or removing the core to empty the device (I now pull the core through so that my thumb doesn't get sliced while pushing it through the sharp-edged device). blades with two sides).
I needed to replace my Pmprd Chf slicer because it had rusted. This is more precise, but it is more difficult to center on the apple's core. I believe it's because I use small apples, and this slicer is quite large, so it will also accommodate large apples, which will be convenient. When using this for the first time, the instructions aren't clear: you must cut through the apple with the bottom of the slicer facing away from you. The bottom is ONLY to be placed AFTER the apple has been 90% sliced through. Flip it back under the apple and continue slicing from there. As a result, all of the slices and the core fall out of the slicer with ease. That is extremely practical. I only deducted one star because it's difficult to balance the apple while slicing it (unlike my previous slicer) and they didn't make it clear that the apple should not be placed on the slicer's bottom. That is why so many people complain about the poor design. They just haven't figured out how to put it to good use. I mean, it's only a matter of common sense, but still.
While this slicer is plastic and may not appear to be the most durable product ever offered, it has surprised me by handling not only tons of eggs but also any fruit and mushrooms we have thrown at it. It has always been washed in the dishwasher and still appears to be brand new. I would suggest going slow when cutting fruit and mushrooms. That, I believe, is the key to making this thing last. and it's still better and faster than using a knife to make the same cuts.
I'm unable to obtain the contact information for the seller. My previous egg slicer cost three dollars and lasted about a year. I figured I'd get a more dependable one that would last a while, so I looked on Amazon and found this one, which I thought would be worth the $12 investment. My assumptions were incorrect. The item is made in such a way that it must be properly aligned in order to go down. Because if it's even a smidgeon off at the base, the wire will break. This is possible because there is sufficient wiggle room in the slot. If there is a problem, it states that you should contact the seller. However, no matter what I click on, I never get the Contacts email address or any other information I need to file a complaint and possibly receive a refund or a replacement; instead, I get pages that try to sell me other things. I recommend getting one of the $3 ones (and will do so myself).
This apple slicer is extremely well-made. The attached cover is what makes this guy stand out. Simply press down on the cover as it rotates beneath the sliced apple to remove all of the slices and core from the blades. It's very handy. The Northeast is in the midst of apple picking season. We are CSA (Consumer Supported Agriculture) members, and every week we receive apples of various varieties. I've sliced over two dozen apples with this slicer so far, and it's never let me down. br>I'm a seasoned home cook who hoards a variety of kitchen gadgets, many of which prove to be complete duds (the herb stripper comes to mind). This gadget is a game changer and well worth the ten dollar price tag.
The only egg-slicer I've come across that can cut an egg in half for deviled eggs. I highly recommend it, with one caveat: the thin wire makes a much nicer, cleaner, and faster cut than I've ever been able to make with a knife. br>br>It's not as simple or quick to use as it could be because, while the slicing discs appear to be guided by the base's sides, they actually cut into the top of the egg before engaging the slots, so you have to eyeball the alignment. I would have given this five stars if you could slide the disk into the guides before it hit the egg.
