The OXO Good Grips Egg Slicer is the second model in our testing series "The Ultimate Egg Slicer Test" and is priced at around $15, slightly higher than our first test candidate from Metaltext (read the test here). This egg slicer from OXO features an oval shape and a combination of white plastic and non-slip material on the handle.
The sturdy cutting wires are mounted in a metal frame, which is securely anchored in the movable part of the egg slicer. The base is also made of white plastic and has a non-slip bottom for added stability during slicing.
