I really enjoy soft-boiled eggs. For me it evokes a simpler time when men sat at the breakfast table in their suits & ties and delicately dipped toast into the soft, yellow center of a perfectly made soft-boiled egg. This was before the time when eating an Egg McSomething on the run became popular. Maybe I only remember this from watching Cary Grant in movies of the 40's, but to me it represents more than a simple dish. A soft-boiled egg is a celebration of eating as an art form.
It is entirely possible to remove the top of a soft-boiled egg with a knife and I have done this many times. However, this gadget allows me to prepare my egg quickly and consistently. Some of the time the top portion of the egg comes off with the shell, other times (as in this video) I need to remove the top of the egg with a knife in order to show off the golden liquid center. I hope that you enjoy this short, informal, video review.

I gave this item a try in spite of the feedback from others, stating that it only works on smaller eggs. All true - it barely nips the top off a large egg. The opening is so small there is not enough room to insert the spoon. Worse, the blades rusted within a couple of hours from the small amount of moisture they contacted in the egg. If you get a little egg yolk on the blades and it gets inside, there's no way to get into the enclosed part to clean it and if soaked it will rust. There is no way to dry the inside of the enclosed area (maybe with a blow dryer?). Great concept but the design needs some work. The blades should be made of a rust-free material and you can't tell if you've gotten it really clean. I think it could be a health risk.

The clipper slides up the egg when you're trying to snip. It occasionally crushes an egg rather than snipping the top. While hand washing water necessarily gets inside the mechanism, but doesn't easily come out so it rusts. It's a fairly worthless contraption. A sharp whack with a dull knife blade works more quickly, efficiently and doesn't take up additional room in the utensil drawer.

GREAT LITTLE DEVICE
I saw/read how someone online has used one of these for years but I have never known there was such a thing. Now I don't know how I lived without it. Read more

Fair Product
I'm a little disappointed that it can leave some shell bits in your egg. It works well in topping the egg with interesting design.

It does the job!
It is a relief to use this on a soft-boiled egg in an egg cup. Tapping on the shell results in a lot of little cracked
pieces which finish up in the egg. Read more

Useless
This egg cutter just doesn't cut. The eggs have to be extremenly large for the teeth of the cutter to even be able to penetrate or reach for that matter, who knows. Read more

Didn't work.
I regret that I couldn't get it to work properly. It crushed the egg rather than cutting. The egg topper is much better.

Works, but nothing fancy
I swear, just when I thought we already had every kitchen gadget imaginable, my wife comes up with something else. An egg topper? Seriously? Read more

Why I don't like the Egg Topper Clipper
It is not easy to use on a large egg and the results do not make a good presentation. It isn't something I would recommend to others.
