Egg Cracker Wanted.
I've only seen these on tv, (not ads) so, I was just wondering, where
could I buy an egg cracker? I mean one that's like a little hammer or metal rod, NOT one that's like a pair of scissors. Just a simple one piece egg cracker that taps the hard boiled egg open while it is sitting in the egg cup. Thanks in advance. -- ---------------------------------- Patrick D. Rockwell |

I've got two tools that I use for soft boiled eggs, but I don't know if they are suitable for hard boiled eggs. One might be like what you describe. It works by placing the tool on top of the egg in the egg cup, pulling the knob up with one hand while holding the tool on the egg with the other hand, then letting go of the knob. If done right, the tool leaves a clean crack around the top of the egg shell. If done incorrectly, the egg is smashed (with soft boiled eggs). Though I didn't get it at Bridge Kitchenware, they sell exactly the same thing I got some years ago. Mine was not near as expensive, but prices keep going up. Here's the one I got: http://www.bridgekitchenware.com/mor...roduct_ID=2343 They also sell one more of the scissors type, that cuts the top off: http://www.bridgekitchenware.com/mor...roduct_ID=2342 The second tool I have is really a scissors type, which I got at Sur La Table years ago. I don't like it anywheres near as much as the first one. Here is the second one I have: http://www.surlatable.com/common/pro...m?PRRFNBR=2942 Hope this helps. -- ( #wff_ng_7# at #verizon# period #net# ) |

Rockwell Flashbacks.....we had one of those as kids. Between that and the egg cup, it made soft-boiled eggs fun. I loved pulling up the little handle and then letting it go....DOINK!.....and your egg's top is open. I have no idea where Mom go it , though,so I'm no help! |

Hi. Thanks, but I was just looking for something that I'd use to tap
the side of the egg, like a hammer. The utensil would just be ONE piece. A spoon or knife would do, but I was wondering if there was a specific utensil out there for the job. I'm sure that there is. -- ---------------------------------- Patrick D. Rockwell "wff_ng_7" > wrote in message news:0GGSf.293$hC.155@trnddc08... > "Patrick D.

A small but significant side benefit of this system is that you can statistically analyse your egg cracking to determine the optimum force and angle to set the cracker without leaving the keyboard.

But for hard boiled eggs why go to the trouble? I just use a pot strainer to dump the hot water out of the pan, then refill pan with cold water, dump that out, then shake shake shake the pan to crack. Shells then peel off nicely under running water. |

This has baffled me too. For a soft boiled egg I use a spoon although my
husband slices the top off with a knife. For hard boiled eggs, I roll them on the kitchen counter and this cracks the shell and loosens it so that it peels off easily. Sometimes I think people try to complicate what should be simple procedures. Also I have an aversion to buying implements that only do one thing and take up valuable space when they're not used often. "Steve Calvin" > wrote in message ... > Elmo P.

I just use the back of a spoon then use it to lift off the top. Dora |
