An egg slicer consists of a slotted dish for holding the egg and a hinged plate of wires or blades that can be closed to slice.
[3] Dutch comedic duo Van Kooten en De Bie created a mock documentary about a Dutch egg slicer factory in 1983.
[4] Some egg slicers that have thin wires can be played as string instruments.
A recorded example is English experimental music group Coil's 'The Gimp (Sometimes)', where primary group member John Balance played an egg slicer solo, dubbing it a 'mini-harp', on both the studio version and later live performances.
