This stainless steel egg topper opens a soft-boiled egg without tapping it with a spoon: set the cup on the egg, lift the ball and let it drop, and the shell cracks in a clean ring. Lift the top off and the yolk is ready for toast soldiers. It is part of our Kitchen Essentials collection.

All stainless steel – one smooth piece with no blades or springs
-
Breakfast-table size – 14.5 cm long, so it sits beside the egg cups

What size is the egg topper?
The stainless steel egg topper is about 14.5 cm (5.7 in) long with a 4.5 cm (1.8 in) cup, which fits over the top of a standard hen's egg.
Is the egg topper for boiled or raw eggs?
The egg topper is made for soft- and hard-boiled eggs served in an egg cup; it is sold as a boiled egg opener.
