Has anyone tried lifting and rotating the sliced egg and slicing it a second time to 'chop' it for egg salad?

We use the egg slicer you asked about. Yes, after the initial slice we pick up the egg and rotate 90 degrees and slice again. We also have sliced small mushrooms.

yup. Works great. Have chickens. Use it all the time ... mushrooms, eggies, olives. I was purposefully looking for a durable egg slicer. Love this one.

I haven't tried it, but seems like a good idea. This has been a very useful tool. I use it a lot to slice eggs, mushrooms, and strawberries. Saves a lot of time!

Yes, I do that frequently, for salads. Works great, you get nice clean slices both times, resulting in neatly chopped eggs.

It will work, but I had a problem after awhile and company would not respond.

Yes. Actually I did it last weekend. It whipped through the butternut squash rind like a champ!

Yes. I did the exact same thing with it by grinding a whole chicken. Make sure the knife is sharp of course.

I run a large spoon around the edge of the cup to loosen the egg then use the same spoon to lift out the entire egg. It usually helps to have the serving dish/plate nearby and then you can just kind of slide the egg over.

Not hard to operate as long as your hand can do a twisting motion using the thumb and forefinger. However, when it gets down to about an inch or so in the slicer, you may want to use a paper towel to get better traction and grip while twisting until you cannot anymore when there is a little of the vegetable in the slicer, which you can either eat or discard.

I have only tried using that option one time, and I admittedly had some difficulty figuring out how to use it. You have to put in the pounds of the item, and I think I may have ended up having it in too long. It actually did start to cook a little. Sorry I'm not more help on this question.

I've only tried one plate so far and I used it to make a fruit salad. It cut the apples into nice bite size pieces. I have the Progressive Onion dicer and really, really enjoy it so I thought I'd try out this one. So far I like what I've tried. Hope this helps.

Lisa, I do not care for poached eggs, but just for a "lesson learned", gonna try poaching one egg using the 12 teaspoons as you suggested. If I goof, well I'll just finish it off in a skillet & make an egg sandwich. What is that saying? "Experience is what we get when we were expecting something else. Thank goodness for simple things in life. Stella

I haven't tried it. I got it primarily to blend Hormel meals for my son. I have chopped onions and ice and it did great with those. Sorry.

I use tongs to lift them out and flip the egg onto a plate. Use a set for each side.

Yes, best little chopper for left overs to make sandwich salads. I really like this chopper, I use it a lot instead of getting out food processor.

I have never tried to do that, but it is not very flexible at all, definitely not like a fillet knife. You probably couldn't bend it with your bare hands.

YES! I hold it in my hand, pop it twice, remove Rosie at a 45 degree angle as I pour out the egg. No broken yolks and nearly perfect shells for whatever (or trash).

I've only used the chopping function once to make the soup recipe that it came with.... and that was a few months ago. What I recall, it was like a runny salsa. Sorry I can't be more help.

I like it but it does chop different sizes. I used it to make a veggie salad. You have to quarter the vegetables before you chop them. Sometimes the quartershave to be cut again. For soft foods pulse lightly. I love using it to make egg salad.As far as I know, it won't shred. There might be another chopper that's betterand more expensive but this one is good enough. Also, if I want the bestuniform chopped vegetable....large or small dice....then I use a knife. I hopeI helped you....Jan

Not to bad. I don't just push strainght down on it. I twist the egg while applying pressure. So far so good, I haven't broken any. According to the directions you puncture the fat end of the egg. You'll be amazed at how easy it is to peel the eggs. If you haven't gotten one yet I highly recommend getting one. I'm going to get the kids each one for Xmas this year.

I don't know about picking up an egg. I haven't tried it.. I suppose if you're real careful you might be able to. I picked up a paper clip off the floor and little pieces of paper. I just might try it next time I cook an egg. Sorry, I couldn't be of more help.
