Abstract: An egg slicer comprising upper and lower hinged arm which are arranged to be grasped in one hand by a user. The arms are hinged to one another at their near ends. The front end of the lower arm has a number of spaced but parallel cutter means for slicing a boiled egg forced past them while the upper arm has an enlarged presser member for trapping an egg placed in the cutter means and forcing the egg past the cutter means as the two arms are squeezed together. The upper arm has thumb receiving means for engaging a user's thumb while grasping the arms of the slicer in one hand so that, by raising the user's thumb, the presser member can be raised to allow a fresh egg to be placed in the cutter means, thereby enabling the egg slicer to be operated with one hand.
