4.0 out of 5 stars Chip-free scrambled eggs from a neat little gadget, April 24, 2010

Ok. This is NOT for the kitchen pro who can crack eggs with one hand and plop them, shell-free, into a pan or bowl. If you are an adept at this art, the Egg Cracker would be an insulting gift and you would most likely toss it into the trash with a scornful twist of your lower lip.

Even though I am the omelet-meister at home, I STILL cannot crack eggs one-handed. I will admit, I have to pick out considerable amounts of shell from my beaten egg mixes. So for me, this little device is a pretty cool notion.

So what is The Egg Cracker? It is a 3 inch high black stand with an egg-shaped flat platform on top. A sharp steel blade sits across the platform. You remove the flexible plastic cover that protects the blade during storage and you bash your egg on the blade. Pick up the egg, open it over your bowl or pan. The sharp blade cuts the shell with minimal flakes or chips.

The stand has a drain hole for any egg white that might get stuck on the platform. Just rinse the egg cracker and wash away any egg white or yolk. Dry, pop on the cover, and you are done.

Who would benefit from this gadget?

1. Klutzes (like me) who get routinely have to pick out shell fragments from their eggs.

2. Cooks who seem to purchase only the kind of eggs that want to fragment like antique porcelain teacups.

3. Anyone obsessed with making a beautifully linear crack in an egg for some deeply-seated but mysterious psychological reason.

4. If you just can't resist kitchen gadgets or seen-on-tv inventions.

Necessary? Probably not. Cool? Yes. I did use it when making a huge family omelet and it was handy to crack the large number of eggs. When I next make a souffle or sponge cake, I'll certainly be happy to use it. And I didn't have to pull out a single shell fragment.

No more cracking my eggs on the side of the pan...I used to get drips on the stove, shells in the pan, or a broken yolk. Now I get a perfect, sharp crack every time.

2.0 out of 5 stars It does work, but still........, January 31, 2010

I like the concept behind this product.....it's basically a razor blade held in such a position that you can whack an egg across it for a nice clean break. However, it's fairly big (relative to it's purpose) and takes up quite a bit of room in the gadget drawer and is just another thing to clean. So for that reason I'll probably shove it in the back of a cabinet and pull it out if I need to crack a dozen eggs or so.....but to crack a couple eggs to make a cake? No way.

There are a few holes/slits on the underside, and it appeared that if you flipped it over and poured in your newly cracked egg then it could serve a dual purpose as a yolk/white separator, unfortunately it didn't work to well.

One last note, someone mentioned that their kids could use it - maybe if your kids are teenagers, but this is definitely not something that you want younger kids to have access to!
