Counterpoint: Excellent kitchen gadgets

My mom bought an expensive slicer for hard-boiled eggs at Bloomingdale's. It works great and even makes thin slices of strawberries.

Edited to add: I have her old egg slicer. It doesn't cut cleanly through the yolk, so I end up more with hunks of egg than thin slices. The one from Bloomie's makes nice even slices that look great in the finished dish. My dad tried it with a small section of mango and it did the job.
