What material is the Ashley Egg Slicer made from?

Can I use this slicer for raw eggs?
No, this slicer is designed exclusively for boiled eggs. Using it on raw eggs will not produce the desired result and may damage the slicer.
How do I clean the egg slicer?
Hand wash with warm, soapy water. Rinse well and dry completely. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
What kind of eggs can it slice?

Will the wires rust?
The cutting wires are made from rust-resistant stainless steel, designed to prevent rusting with proper care and drying.
Is this slicer dishwasher safe?
It is recommended to hand wash this item to maintain its durability and ensure the wires remain in optimal condition. Dishwasher use may affect the plastic and wire integrity over time.
What are the dimensions of the slicer?
Specific dimensions are not provided, but it is designed to be compact for easy storage in a kitchen drawer.
Troubleshooting
Egg slices are uneven or messy.
Ensure the boiled egg is placed centrally within the slicer's cutting grooves. Apply firm, even pressure directly downwards. Make sure the cutting wires are not bent or damaged.
Wires appear to be bending.
This slicer is designed for boiled eggs. Attempting to slice harder items or using excessive force may bend the wires. If wires are bent, carefully try to straighten them; if severely damaged, replacement may be necessary.
Slicer feels difficult to press.
Ensure the boiled egg is fully enclosed within the designated area and that no part of the egg is protruding. For very firm boiled eggs, a slightly more direct downward force may be needed.
