Premium Stainless Steel Egg Cutter & Shell Remover Set - Includes 2 Cups, 2 Spoons & Topper Cutter for Perfect Soft/Hard Boiled Eggs | Kitchen Gadget for Breakfast, Meal Prep & Cooking

This set seemed great. I love the cracker itself, but egg shells get stuck in the cup for some reason. When i say they get stuck, I mean they get permanently stuck. You cant even get them out with a knife easily. I ended up throwing one cup away after the 3rd egg I put in it got so stuck, I could not even peel it out with a knife - then a shell got stuck in the 2nd cup shortly after.I am not a scientist, but I think it must have something to do with the egg being very hot, and then going into the steel cup. Somehow the egg shell completely seals itself to the metal cup. You cant get it unsealed with nails.. knives etc. So i ended up throwing both egg cups away after shells were permanently sealed to them. I still use the cracker and spoons though - they are great.OVERALL - I ended up buying a porcelain egg holder with a little more room so the shell cant get stuck and I havent encountered the issue since then. This set is great in theory and maybe it is just me? but i think it is weird it happened with both cups - relatively fast.I love soft boiled eggs in the morning, so I bought these to facilitate getting that yummy goodness into my belly.The cups are a bit thin, but they are what I would expect for the price. They are also on the large size so work best with extra large eggs. The little spoons are just the right size to dig into the egg and get at the good stuff without cracking the shell.The only reason this got 4 stars out of 5 is because the device thats included to crack the eggs doesn't work very well. It ends up getting stuck on the egg and then cracks the entire shell....I end up with a bit of a mess on my plate.I am a novice egg cup user and love it! My British friends introduced these to me and curious why Americans don’t use egg cups. They also ask why we warm up our water for tea in the microwave (I honestly didn’t know people actually did that) but I digress.These cups are perfect to dip stripes of toast into a nice, warm runny yolk of a soft boiled egg with the shell on of course. You place the handle over the egg, pull up on the ball creating a suction to that top portion of the egg and then drop the ball which creates a perfect hole in your shell on soft boiled egg! The cups always hold onto that shell pretty well so you get ever last bit of egg. The little spoons are the perfect size to fit into the cup.If you are going to wash them in the dishwasher, make sure they are on the top rack.The egg-holder part of this package does indeed hold my eggs, so I'm glad I got it and it's worth the price. The other two features aren't helpful, though; the spoons are too small, and the egg cracker separates the egg too high up toward the top, leaving a fair amount of inward-sloping curve on the bottom and making it hard to scoop out. So those extra features are probably better for tiny people and/or tiny eggs. But they don't take up much space, so it's not a big deal as useless accessories go. Get it for the egg holders and use a regular teaspoon and knife.I’m loving my new Soft or Hard Boiled Egg Topper Cutter! The high quality steel/aluminum is extremely durable for many years of use! The two spoons are very convenient also!This is not a super easy product to use right out of the box but once you get the hang of snapping the tool against the eggs it works very well. We are enjoying soft boiled eggs in a cup the way we had them growing up.I am overall satisfied with this set, I've used the cutter, egg cups and spoons several times. By dropping the metal ball on the cutter 5 times, I'm able to achieve a clean cut to lift off the shell lid. Note: I don't have much strength in my hands, this number may vary by individual. The stainless steel is lightweight but appears strong. The cups and spoons are just the right size.Now I can make soft boiled eggs and enjoy them. It took just a little practice to use the topper just right, but I got it. Stainless steel and easy to clean, the only reason I did not rate this set five stars is that the egg holders just seem a bit flimsy to me. Wish they had a bit more bulk. Spoons are just right.The only reason given 1 star Is because I couldn’t give 0 stars. It doesn’t do what it’s supposed to…I bought this for my husband as a joke because the only thing he can cook is a boiled egg. It has caused a lot of hilarity.However it’s effective! It creates a neat cut !Lovely set, but cutter doesn’t cut the tops of. I still have use a knife. Egg cups lovely & good qualityBought this for my partner as she always had find memories of a similar one that her grandmother owned. This one was spring loaded so I was a little concerned it would be to powerful and smash the egg, but it works perfectly everytime and she lives it.Take some time to get used to using the egg cutter part but getting there and better than smashing it with a spoon and fun
