FAQs
Can I use this slicer for foods other than eggs?
It is primarily designed for boiled eggs. While it may slice soft vegetables like mushrooms, doing so may dull the wires faster than intended.
Is the Vogue Duplex Egg Slicer dishwasher safe?
No, this item is hand wash only. Using a dishwasher can cause the aluminium to discolor or corrode.
Why is the finish silver-toned?
The silver tone is characteristic of the durable aluminium construction, which is chosen for its balance of weight, strength, and corrosion resistance.
What is the best way to clean off stubborn egg yolk?
Use a soft-bristled brush or a toothpick to gently remove debris from the grooves of the cradle and the gaps between the wires.
Can I slice raw eggs with this?
No, this tool is intended exclusively for hard-boiled eggs that have been peeled.
Troubleshooting
Egg is sticking to the wires
Ensure the eggs are fully chilled after boiling and consider lightly coating the wires with a tiny amount of cooking spray.
Uneven or messy slices
Check if the egg is properly centered in the cradle before pressing, and ensure the slicer is on a flat, stable surface.
Wires appear loose or slack
Inspect the frame for any debris buildup. If the wires remain loose, do not attempt to overtighten them yourself; contact the manufacturer for support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required for this tool; it is ready to use immediately out of the box. To maintain the life of the unit, always hand wash with mild soap and warm water immediately after use to prevent food residue from hardening on the wires. Avoid using metal scourers or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can pit or discolor the aluminium surface. Dry the slicer thoroughly with a soft cloth before storing it in a dry environment to prevent any potential oxidation.
