   There's no "bean pot" entry in OED?  I'll check the American Periodical Series tomorrow.

BOX GRATER

   Not in OED.
   It's in WEBSTER'S NEW WORLD DICTIONARY OF CULINARY ARTS, and my family had one in our home.

EGG SLICER

   OED has "egg slicer" from 1951.  WEBSTER'S NEW WORLD DICTIONARY OF CULINARY ARTS has a nice illustration, but the term "egg slicer" is vague.  What did the 1903 "egg slicer" look like?
