This new slicer from Rösle is not a uni-tasker; it slices tomatoes and mozzarella! Make that a big AND. All joking aside, that's rather handy for those of us who plan on eating caprese salad every day in August.
After all, a tool like this will cut evenly-sized slices from your fresh mozzarella and your tomatoes, which does make for a nice plate of caprese. We wonder though if it's equally good at slicing tomatoes and mozzarella, or if it does better on one or the other.
Do you use a slicer for any of your cheeses or for your tomatoes? Have you tried this one?
• Find it! The Rösle mozzarella and tomato slicer is available at Broadway Panhandler and via Amazon.

Isn't this just a $30 egg slicer with a different name?
Haha, suzyblue, I was just thinking the same thing!
1) how long will the blades stay sharp enough to really cut the tomatoes?
2) yes, also a mushroom slicer.
Yep. Looks like an egg slicer to me too.
Looks like it would work on mushrooms too -- which would be fabulous. I sometimes use an egg slicer on them, but the wires just aren't tough enough. If the cutting blades on this gizmo are a little beefier, seems like a no-brainer buy to me.
I have something very similar to this one and I really only use it to slice mushrooms. It is a lot like an egg slicer but the cut is thicker than an egg slicer, so its great if you like your mushrooms a little thicker or want to make mushroom "steaks" out of portobellos.
There's one cheaper at Crate & Barrel ($20):
