Cracking eggs on the bowl rim sends shell shards into the batter; this egg shell opener cracks a raw egg in a ring around its middle instead. Set the egg in the cup, close the lid and squeeze the two steel clips, then pull the halves apart over the bowl. It is a small plastic gadget, 7.2 cm tall, sold singly or as a 3-pack. It is part of our Kitchen Essentials collection.
