    I noticed someone else said most of these gadgets are common in Sweden. I live in America but my grandmother from Sweden raised me. Most of these tools were every day items growing up! The egg slicer and cheese slicer specifically warmed my heart. I just lost her this summer and miss her terribly! The cheese slicer was (and is) a must. The egg slicer reminded me of warm spring days when we would make egg salad sandwiches and sit in the back yard under the big pear trees and eat lunch. Nostalgic. You slice one way, and then turn and slice again, and it dices the eggs! We used an old white one and as a kid I thought it was so nifty.

      Yes most of these stuff you can buy in every grocery store in Sweden. I know cheese slicers is not a thing in a lot of places even if cheese slicer is the best thing ever (not Swedish tho… I think they are Norwegian 😔 but egg slicers….

    The alternate use of the egg slicer is surrogate guitar/harp.
    We used to have that gadget when I was little and I would come into the kitchen sometimes, pull it out of the drawer, play a "song" on it and put it back. 10/10 would recommend.

    The cheese slicer is my favourite for a couple reasons:
    1. Since I’m Dutch it was funny to see you discover the slicer for the first time. This is because it is a very common thing here in the Netherlands and every household owns one. We call it a ‘kaasschaaf’ here and commonly use it for our lunch sandwiches.
    2. I mean, I love cheese too. That should be enough reason as is lol :). Glad to see you discovered the kaasschaaf to make your life a little easier!
    3. You can actually use it for other things too. Like if you need another food thinly sliced (cucumber for example).

    Cheese slicer - use it to slice cucumber and raw carrots but from top to bottom (long thin slices). Works great as a side dish for example salad or for sushi bowl with some soy sauce and sesame seeds. I have used it this Xmas to have cucumber slices and I put salmon tartare on it. I used a metal ring to make burgers as a gadget to get a nice round shape for the tartare. It looked fancy. 🎉

    Superfun as always. Over here in Sweden, we would use the baking bag with tips for creating cookie shapes. The "ice cream scoop" is actually a cookie scoop for the dough that you scoop out on the baking sheet. They are often a little difficult to get out from the usual ice cream scoops why the holes in the middle. And the little whisk, we use it as a foam maker on the top of the coffee or your chai latte :). So hope you will find even more uses for those gadgets. Happy cooking.
