An egg slicer, a kitchen utensil, could probably be seen in every kitchen in the past.

For some reason, modern housewives have undeservedly forgotten about its existence, believing that chopping eggs with a knife is not much more difficult.

And only experienced culinary aces know what benefits this accessory can bring.

It turns out that this device can also be used to quickly chop vegetables for salad.

All you need to do is place a boiled potato, carrot or beetroot in the cavity intended for eggs and lower the stretched wire, and beautiful and neat cubes of vegetables will appear in front of you.

But culinary professionals, on the other hand, chop eggs not with an egg slicer, but with a potato masher with holes.

Important: the more frequent and smaller the holes on the product, the better.

Simply place the boiled egg on a cutting board and press it down with a potato masher.
