First time using this new device I bought recently. I never have consistent results opening eggs usually, shell gets everywhere. But this thing really works.
You hold the top of the egg inside the dome then snap the handle's other end. It's slightly sharp inside the dome and cuts the egg neatly. Impressed!

  2. I’m absolutely useless at cracking eggs, so this may be something to invest in.

  3. It’s called an Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher in German.

  6. I had no idea they were a thing… so I’ve just bought one; £4.49 Amazon.

  7. Ah, another kitchen gadget which will soon be gathering dust at the back of the drawer and only come out to impress the grandchildren in 20 years time!

  8. I have one, but I also keep chickens and one of them lays eggs with very thin shells. The thing decimates the egg!

  9. Egg clacker. We sometimes used to clean the shells out and serve poncy little pre-desserts in them when I worked in restaurants.

  10. I’ve only ever seen clips of this unlocking a raw egg. Will this also release an egg that’s about to be attacked by soldiers?

  13. Combining one of these and an Xmas present of a new egg boiler led to the best runny egg and soldiers i have had for the whole of January and February.

    10 out of 10, would open eggs with it again.

  15. Top tip: if you don’t have one of these, but want to open eggs without making a mess, crack them on a blunt surface (like a thick bowl, or the worktop). It’s a bit counter-intuitive, but stops it shattering.

  16. Took me a while to realise this is a kitchen countertop and not a shaggy rug

  18. I have one of these. Once you learn the technique, they’re invaluable.

  19. I have seen this product, but I do not understand it.

    Eggs are so fragile, and cracking them takes little more than 2 seconds worth of effort, adding a tool, lengthening the process, and adding something which you need to clean, just seems really silly to me.

    Why do we overengineer everything, if we get to a point that humans collectively lose basic skills like cracking eggs because we have a tool for everything, we will just become husks, humans are capable of such great things, and yet here we are buying a tool to crack a fucking egg.

    This isn’t a slight at you OP, more a concern about society and how we’ll slowly lose the ability to do things as we become more and more reliant on pointless, overengineered tools.

  21. I learnt about these living in Austria. They are a life changer. I have given everyone back home one as a Christmas present, and they all love them.

    Perfect 5/7 in my eyes.

  22. I bought my wife one of these for Xmas a few years ago. Best value present ever, as she was trying to guess all day WTF it was for.

  24. Thousands of years of civilisation and now this! So we are evolving to a higher state.

  25. Initially I thought this was for opening soft boiled eggs but reading the comments realised that it might be for raw eggs? Do people not just break them on the edge of the bowl or pan? 

  26. I’d be surprised if this cleans easily and even more surprised if it doesn’t have the tendency to harbour some harmful ‘germs’, let’s say.

  28. Is this a marketing post for Big Egg?

    It’s working. I want egg.

  30. I use one of these – the straight edges on the eggs are so satisfying. My family think I’m mad

  31. This is just the type of thing that K-Tel would have made and sold in Woolies!

  34. I have one they are great I remember my grandmother had one very similar

  36. Does it cut the membrane that’s just inside the shell as well?

  37. Isn’t this supposed to have a flashing light on one end?

  38. Is there a plunger with a restricting band or something? Like a potato scooper mating with anotger and gone rogue?

  39. The perfect gift for Chris Hughes in the CBB house 😂 (those who watched the live stream know what I am talking about)

  40. I have never seen one of these but now I need one immediately. Where can I get one without amazon please ?

  41. The trick with cracking eggs is to show no fear, no hesitation

  42. It’s a shame the eggs were empty. I’d take them back and demand a refund.
