In a world of exotic, expensive and irreplaceable kitchen gadgets, one has eluded me for years. I remember it from my childhood as something that my mother used to make an unremarkable egg salad for sandwiches. But because of its proficiency in dicing hard-boiled eggs it resulted in the perfect consistency.
It was a sort of grater that was a rectangular piece of stainless steel with half-inch square holes through which she pushed hard-boiled eggs to achieve perfectly cubed pieces of yolk and white to make into the proverbially homey egg salad.
The grater
I’ve looked for it casually for years in kitchen stores without much success. But I longed for it and I’m not sure why it took me so long to do an internet search. I can’t remember the search words that I used but the search phrase must have had the word “grater.”
