GADGET OF THE MONTH www.kitchenwarenews.com n MAY 2019 n KITCHENWARE NEWS & HOUSEWARES REVIEW 1 9 Gadget of the Month The Kuhn Rikon Push Slicer was designed to slice or dice delicate f ruits and vegetables like strawberries and mushrooms as well as to give home cooks a tear- f ree way to prepare their onions quickly and easily. The home cook simply clicks the desired blade onto the container – it comes with two: a dicing blad and a slicing blade – and then press the slicer onto the desired ingredient. The sharp blade instantly cuts through the whole item for uniform slices. Then, the pusher base clears the blade, and the home cook flips the container over to retrieve perfectly chopped ingredients. The unit was designed in Switzerland and comes with a two-year guarantee. The container is microwave safe. The Kuhn Rikon Push Slicer retails for $30.

A size selection on the back allows the user to select medium, large, extra large or jumbo eggs to get the most accurate results. An egg piercer at the top of the timer helps prevent eggs from cracking or breaking from ex- treme temperature changes, and it makes peel- ing easier. With a lock to prevent any accidental use, the timer operates on two AAA batteries that are in- cluded in the box. Suggested retail price is $19.99.
