My Daughter Loves the Hotdog Slicer, .. Oh Wait......

[genburk]

It is not called a hot dog slicer, but it works. I think I need to go to the thread titled "let's play a game" and add this. She (3 years old) was slicing bananas in the egg slicer and was asking for another hotdog. Then she asked if we could use the slicer to cut the hotdog. I gave it a try and it worked. This was a cold hotdog, and not a tough skin which I am sure helped, but it sliced it beautifully.

Any other weirds uses for the egg slicer?

Other than the normal grapes, strawberries, kiwi, mushrooms and egss, I can't think of anything...

I make octopus hotdogs for my daycare by slicing the hotdog long ways but leaving about 1.5 inch at the top intact. Put in boiling water and the legs curl upwards. I serve it on blue-tinted noodles or salad. The kids love it!

I have also used the egg slicer to cut butter when I am having a dinner party. They come out nice and uniform and look great on the table.

This will make you all laugh.......I was doing a show with LOTS of repeat people and I'm showing the Egg Slicer Plus and slicing strawberries with it for the Tuxedo Brownie Bites and talking of all the uses for it being able to slice.......eggs, olives, kiwi, mushrooms, etc. and this girl is sitting there, whom I know slightly and she's leaning forward and is just looking awe struck, and she kept asking me about what things again I can use with this and I go over the list, but I'm trying to keep the show moving as I was trying to wrap up, and she finally says "I've just got to buy one of them, that's so cool it can cut so many things!"

So I said, "Steph, that's great, I'll be happy to help you with your order." I'm just about to start passing the TBB out and I hear "Gesh, Steph what are you crazy, You've ALREADY got the slicer!!" from her mom, and she turns and says, ........ drum roll please............

"But Mom, mine only slices eggs, it's NOT the egg slicer plus, I've got the really old one, just the egg slicer one!!"

She was 100% serious, the whole room burst into laughter!! She was like "What, what's so funny??"

Trying to keep a straight face, I said, "Steph, I'll be more than happy to sell you an egg slicer plus, but the old one will work to same, they just re-styled it and added the plus as people use it for more than just eggs."

She still looked confused and even after I tried telling her again and even showing her it had same basic blade as hers, she still ordered a new one.

About 3 weeks after the show, I saw her, and she was like NOW I get why everyone laughed, it's the SAME thing!!

She's been at shows since and if I know she's there, I usually try and at least bring the ES+ with me, just for giggles if nothing else.

Hope this brightens your day and may you think of this now EVERY time you use it or show it at a show......I Do!!

PS,
Yes, she's blonde too, and that's all everyone's said about that, her true "colors" showed through, lol.

I do not use mine for strawberries anymore though b/c I have broken two doing it!

I LOVE this... so will my MIL. She is the "Martha Stewart" of her friends and is always looking for new ways to be creative...
Thanks!
