Product Description

Amazon. com

This is a charming model, not just because it's shiny enough to be raccoon bait, but because it seats well--the whole of the unit is neat and compact with an exceptionally sturdy base. The top of the hinged cutter raises and lowers smoothly, chopping mushrooms for omelets or slicing eggs for salads, garnishes, and hors d'oeuvres with an economy of motion that requires minimal hand strength. Eggs rest securely in the oval-shaped nest and don't squirm about as you slice through. As a bonus, parents of youngsters may appreciate that the stainless-steel cutting wires make "music" when picked or strummed. By adjusting the Phillips-head screw, you can tighten the wires for more cutting control--or to change pitch. Yolk or mushroom particles may deposit in the wires, so rinse or hand wash immediately after use. --Carol Gnojewski

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the one you want!, October 3, 2000

By	Stephanie Manley (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

You are going to be amazed at this slicer when you try it out. It is extremely sturdy compared to the plastic ones that we have. It is entirely stainless steel, and you can clean this up quite easily. I have tried this wish mushrooms, eggs, and strawberries. The wires are slightly thicker than most. If you are looking for a good slicer this is the one you need.

4.0 out of 5 stars mushrooms no problem, July 22, 2002

By A Customer

I use this slicer to cut mushrooms around 2-5 times per week. I've had it for less than a year. It works great. The slices are nice and uniform, it is easy to use. I bought two on a Friday sale because I had concerns about the durability after reading the other reviews and the product was so cheap. After much heavy use slicing various types of mushrooms I feel this slicer is durable. And yes, it does sound nice when played like a little harp.

4.0 out of 5 stars Stainless ... or Not, May 20, 2002

By A Customer

I bought this product for my wife. She loves it and it works great, but it tarnished in the dishwasher. It appears that the other review posted about the wires being stainless, but the rest of the unit not so is correct.
