Just bought a cheery yellow one from eBay for £2 with free p&p. Thanks for reminding me about these.

My mum had one.....forgotten all about them. Must go see if I can find one online.

apricot does your cherry stone gadget work on olives too? That's something I could do with.

Couldn't be without my egg slicer - I slice the egg widthways first then lift it out and replace it lengthways to chop finely for egg mayonnaise.

Yes me too -I love my egg slicer.

Is it one of those twangy ones that you can make harp noises on Apricot? With an egg shaped depression?

I love my egg-slicer - I use it regularly!

Obscene!
I have a good egg gadget, it slices hard-boiled eggs into slices. Bought it from a junk shop, along with a gadget for getting the stones out of cherries.

Just one word, yuck.

Some fool will buy it, if only as a conversation piece!

Eeuugghhh shock. There is something really quite repulsive about that slimy looking egg oozing slowly out and then falling sideways.

Definitely not a must-have.

vampirequeen Wed 15-Jul-15 21:07:00

Oh dear. Why would you do that to an egg? And the way it oozes out ...urgh shock

Ana Wed 15-Jul-15 21:03:26
