How large an egg will this slice? Our chickens lay extra large eggs and I'm having trouble finding a slicer they will fit into.

This slicer can handle all sizes. I love it. Have had it about a year, would not do without it.

I only buy extra large eggs and it works great. I also use it for mushrooms, and olives. Very sturdy and worth the price.

Looks like 2.25" X 3" would work. Which is bigger than a turkey egg. Give it a try.

I'm not sure how big duck eggs are. But it will hold the largest eggs my chickens lay. They're the exact same size as cardboard cartons at the grocery store, just no print on them. Hope this helps.

yup. Works great. Have chickens. Use it all the time ... mushrooms, eggies, olives. I was purposefully looking for a durable egg slicer. Love this one.

Good question.We have a few hens & the old (2year) do lay some double yolkers & some quite large, 100 gram, & they don't fit. It is sturdy & well made but taking the eggs out is not the easiest.Chuck

The sizes are by weights of the birds. This one works good for our broiler chickens have a hard time with getting a full size peking duck in it or any larger bird if broilers are over weight. Depending on what it is you are going to be slaughtering and there is a video on U tube for each size cone also promoting proper methods of humanely killing this is how we decided which cones to buy. I would reccomend buying more than one size we are buying the turkey cone next.

I think strawberries are too small. Use an egg slicer! Works perfect, can also cut mushrooms.

They recommend piercing the eggs first. It's a tiny hole and it helps the shell not to crack in cooking. It fits ex. large eggs without any problems.

I have done two large eggs, and there was plenty of room. I would just try it with extra large eggs, and see how it turns out.

all depends on how thick. I do chicken, for my dog. I slice ,pound, takes about 5 hrs. I don't open for at lease 4 hrs.

I have not broken one yet... make sure you make the hole on the top of the egg, which is the larger part of the egg. The owner's manual has very specific 'egg' facts and handling instructions.

It may depend on what size the entire chicken is - otherwise, my suggestion is to cut a whole chicken into pieces to fit into the pan! Good luck!

Nope. 1/2 inch is the largest slice. I've never even come close to that. Most of the time I'm slicing bacon, meat or cheese.

I haven't actually used it yet. But I'm gonna guess you will really stress your chickens with the sound and egg production will go WAY down. Stressed chickens don't lay lots or good quality eggs. Happy chickens do. the sound would be maddening to them.

We always use eggs rated "large" I did buy some eggs last week from a farmhouse - smaller chickens, small eggs, so I cut back the cooking time a little. The way to do this is to put in a little less water than usual. I like hard boiled eggs so I put water in to the top line (or ring). I believe this is per the directions, which I haven't read in a long time. It takes maybe 10 minutes to hard boil and it works great. It alsoo does well on softer cooked eggs. I love my little chicken.

I only buy "extra large" eggs and it works well with it. Not sure about "jumbo" sized eggs.

Dan P has it right. I use it on any size chicken egg.You put your egg in an egg cup with the large end down and the small end up. Make sure you put just enough downward pressure on it when you cut so that the little teeth take hold. The cut will be clean and no egg shell pieces will remain. It is a great invention. I used to hack my eggs open with a table knife which was messier. This thing leaves 2 perfect pieces--the small top and the larger bottom that you can eat out of with a tiny egg spoon or scrape the contents on out on to a slice of toast by using a regular sized teaspoon.

I don't think there is any way a bird that big would fit. I regularly brine 5 pound chickens and could probably do birds a few pounds larger at most. I tried a turkey once (i don't recall the size) and it would not fit.
