Also, in my opinion, they are actually more convenient than cutting the egg with a knife, because then often the yolk swells out of the white. And the slices are also much thinner this way. 😀

The egg slicer and cheese slicer specifically warmed my heart. I just lost her this summer and miss her terribly! The cheese slicer was (and is) a must. The egg slicer reminded me of warm spring days when we would make egg salad sandwiches and sit in the back yard under the big pear trees and eat lunch. Nostalgic. You slice one way, and then turn and slice again, and it dices the eggs! We used an old white one and as a kid I thought it was so nifty.

    The cheese slicer is my favourite for a couple reasons:
    1. Since I’m Dutch it was funny to see you discover the slicer for the first time. This is because it is a very common thing here in the Netherlands and every household owns one. We call it a ‘kaasschaaf’ here and commonly use it for our lunch sandwiches.
    2. I mean, I love cheese too. That should be enough reason as is lol :). Glad to see you discovered the kaasschaaf to make your life a little easier!
    3. You can actually use it for other things too. Like if you need another food thinly sliced (cucumber for example).

I used a metal ring to make burgers as a gadget to get a nice round shape for the tartare. It looked fancy. 🎉

    Superfun as always. Over here in Sweden, we would use the baking bag with tips for creating cookie shapes. The "ice cream scoop" is actually a cookie scoop for the dough that you scoop out on the baking sheet. They are often a little difficult to get out from the usual ice cream scoops why the holes in the middle. And the little whisk, we use it as a foam maker on the top of the coffee or your chai latte :). So hope you will find even more uses for those gadgets. Happy cooking.
