Our kitchen drawer is full of handy gadgets to use while cooking. Because although such an expensive food processor is of course fantastic, the small kitchen gadgets are at least as useful. One of our favorites? The good old egg slicer.

The egg slicer was invented around 1900 by a clever man named Willy Abel. The kitchen utensil, consisting of a holder for the egg with a movable part attached that allows you to cut it into slices, has remained popular ever since. Still, not every egg slicer is the same. That’s why we’ve listed the 8 best slicers for you.

1. The egg slicer from the Westmark brand is made of aluminum. That’s why it stays in good condition for extra long, so you can use it for years. The Westmark egg slicer is available for €11.25.

2. A double egg slicer that can cut both slices and wedges; super handy, right? This one is by Leifheit and costs €23.67.

3. At just €5.10, this classic is the cheapest of them all. Great value, then, and it certainly does what it’s supposed to do.

4. This €15.99 egg slicer is actually the same as number 2, except this one is made of steel and the other of stainless steel. And hey, it’s dishwasher-safe!

5. Thoughtful and ingenious: that’s this 3-in-1 egg slicer. With three different cutting blades, you can cut your egg into all kinds of shapes. Also handy: the parts are stackable, so they take up little space in your kitchen drawer.

6. Another 3-in-1 set. There you go. This time in cheerful colors. Wedges, slices or halved eggs: this €17.50 egg slicer does it all for you.

7. Another good idea is to give someone this top gadget as a gift. This gift set includes a slicer, separator and timer. You place it in the boiling water with the eggs, and depending on the water temperature, its color changes to show whether the egg is hard- or soft-boiled.

8. The egg slicer from OXO Good Grips is made of plastic, feels comfortable in the hand, is practical and does its job well. And all that for just €13.89.
