Egg Cutter Buyer’s Guide
While chopping an egg is hardly the most arduous of kitchen tasks, getting your slices perfectly even and uniform is near impossible. An egg cutter slices eggs neatly and efficiently, making light work of large batches of hard boiled eggs for salads or sandwiches. Egg cutters are simple and affordable gadgets; an item we’re firm believers that no kitchen should go without.

Durability
Egg cutters are generally very durable, but they should be taken care of. Store and clean your egg cutter according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, and try to purchase from a reputable brand. When the difference is just a few pounds or pennies, it’s worth prioritising quality over cost.
Ease of Use
The ease of use will come down to the design of the egg cutter. Those with non slip feet and a grippy handle are the easiest to use, allowing you to slice a lot of eggs consecutively. Most have a simple cradle that holds the egg, and you simply need to push the handle down to slice.
Material
Egg cutters usually have stainless steel blades and a plastic body, although more expensive models may have a metal body. Stainless steel won’t rust, while plastic is very easy to clean and lightweight.
Dishwasher Safety
Most models are dishwasher safe for a quick and easy clean up, but this isn’t the case for all egg cutters. Those with quirky design features are generally unsuitable for the dishwasher, but most egg cutters are easy to clean by hand.
