Have you ever seen hard boiled eggs diced into those perfect little cubes and wondered how they did that? It's really easy to do as long as you have a wire egg slicer. I'm generally not a fan of single-purpose gadgets in the kitchen, but this one makes the cut.
Start by cutting perpendicular to the long axis, the way you would if you were just going to do slices.
Holding everything together, turn the egg a quarter turn and slice again.
One more quarter turn -- it's going to be really hard to hold it all together now.
And that's it.

I agree that wire egg slicers are worth it. Perfect for egg salad. Have you found any other uses for them though?
One other thing: mushrooms. The little white button ones, not Portabella obviously. You just have to make sure you trim the tough, dried out end of the stem first or you can pop the wire out of the frame. (Don't ask how I know this.)
Oh, and you can do strawberries, too, but I find them easy enough to do by hand.
I do my eggs like that too..great for sprinkling on top of a salad. I also use it to slice my mozzerella balls>
