How we test egg slicers: Our comprehensive evaluation criteria

In our egg slicer tests, we place particular emphasis on the following aspects:

Application and handling (20%): We evaluate how handy the egg slicer is, whether it provides stable grip and support during slicing, and how easily the cutting unit can be operated.
Ease of cleaning (15%): We examine whether the egg slicer is dishwasher-safe or if manual cleaning is required. We also check for any residue remaining in the device after cleaning.
Material and build quality (10%): We rate the quality of the materials used and the construction of the egg slicer to provide an assessment of its durability and sturdiness.
Price-performance ratio (10%): We compare the price of the egg slicer with its performance and evaluate whether the device is worth its price.
Design and aesthetics (5%): Lastly, we assess whether the device is visually appealing and if it is something one would like to showcase in the kitchen or prefer to store in a cabinet.

According to the manufacturer, this kitchen gadget is dishwasher-safe (to be placed in the top rack), which was confirmed in our test: The egg slicer withstood cleaning in the dishwasher without any damage.

The base of the egg slicer is surrounded by a non-slip rubber coating, ensuring a secure stand. The handle is also rubberized, providing a good grip. The egg cavity is large enough to accommodate most standard-sized eggs.
