Stainless Steel Egg Toppers Cutter Egg Opener Tolls,Effortless Soft Egg Top Cutter Tool, Egg Separator Egg Slicer, Cracker, and Egg Topper Opener for Kitchen Accessories

Ok...I didn't need this device, and I still don't need it....but it's so cool that when I watched the videos I had to have one. I can say for certain, it really works!!! I've used it on raw eggs, as well as soft and hard boiled eggs and it works on all of them. It takes some practice to get to know how far to pull back the top, basically you need to pull it pretty far to get a good solid thunk...when you get used to it it's really great.When I started using, it made me think of some old story, can't remember which one, but the little boy was only allowed to eat the egg tops from the mean old step parents eggs...but I digress LOLAnyway, I love this little device, do I need it...no, could I live without is...yes. Nevertheless I still in all really love it and I'm glad I have one. I recommend you try one as well!!!

My wife makes eggs for breakfast almost every day, so I got this for her and for me on the few occasions that I take over the breakfast duties. For me, cracking eggs was always somewhat of a crap shoot - about 75% of the time I would have no problems at all, and then I'd get the problem child that would have me fishing out shell fragments. Irritating.Enter this product. It works pretty good, but like everything else, it takes a little bit of practice. There are no instructions, but a quick Youtube video will show you how it works. Position this so that it makes good contact over the over the egg, pull back the thwacker (multiple times if required) and, if you're lucky, your egg is cracked in a way so that the top comes off like a lid and your pour out the egg like it's in a cup as easy as you please. No shell fragments.If you're not so lucky, the 'lid' is only partially cracked, or you pull the thwacker back too far you will drive shell fragments into the egg itself which defeats the whole purpose. Again, it takes practice, and in the time it takes to position the egg in one hand this device over the egg in the other, you could have cracked two eggs on the counter already.Still, I think my wife is starting to get the hang of it, and once you see it work I believe you will want to put the practice in just to pour that egg out like that as easy as you please. Highly recommended.

Call me an old lady, but I love soft cooked eggs and toast soldiers. So when I saw Amazon wanted me to review this I was pretty excited. I have another egg opener that I use often, but it takes up a larger profile. So I was excited to maybe have one that was smaller, but just as good... Sadly that did not happen here.Firstly the portion that goes over the egg itself is just round metal. There is no "cutting" edge like others I have used. (The bell is often thinned and curved in so it hits the shell better and gives a cleaner cut.) So when I used it the is more cracked the egg shell in a circle around the bell and even further down the egg. Which is NOT what you want with soft cooked eggs. (It was about the same as using a butter knife to remove the top of the egg. Maybe a little worse.)To put it honestly, this will be in the giveaway/donation box by weeks end.

I have seen this little egg-topper device a few times on kitchen gadget videos so I was eager to try it out myself. I’m sure this was originally designed for attractively shearing off the top of soft-boiled eggs but it works on raw eggs too. That being said, soft-boiled eggs are usually served in “egg cups” that hold the eggs upright. This is the best way to use this device—with something to hold the egg stable rather than holding them in your hand which cushions the blow, so to speak. I don’t have egg cups but experimented with other ways of holding the eggs; a shot glass, a ramekin and a small metal measuring cup. The idea is to have both hands on the device, not on the egg so the “cut” will be swift and clean.It took a few tries to get the right amount of pull needed to crack the egg. Too little and the egg won’t crack. Too much and it smashes the egg. It’s okay if the egg doesn’t crack on the first try, just pull a little harder and try again, eventually the egg will crack clean. There is the possibility of small shell fragments but in six eggs I needed to crack, I only got one tiny fragment. That’s fewer than when I crack eggs normally.After the egg is cracked and emptied you’re left with a neat little eggshells small caps. Discard the caps, wash the shells, poke a small hole in the bottoms, sterilize them in the oven (if desired), fill them with soil and use them as biodegradable seed starter cups in the spring. I’ve tried this but have attempted (not always successfully) to cut the tops off the eggs with a sharp knife blow. This device makes a much better, cleaner job of it. I can’t wait to start early tomatoes!
