A beautiful and handy gadget that allows you to slice everything from big peppers to tinsy chunks of truffles with ease and to any thickness you like.
6. Kitchen Craft Plastic Egg

There is an undeniable pleasure in putting an apple through one of these. Maybe a knife would do. But where's the fun in that?
