Customer Reviews

Doesn't work and it hurts!
This was a waste of money. It is poorly designed and almost impossible to hold comfortably at any angle that will "top" the egg. The finger holes are too small (and I am a small handed woman) and they are sharp, stamped metal that hurts when pressure is applied to make the scissor action happen. The teeth that are supposed to cut the egg are not sharp enough to do so and essentially just mangle it. Plus the hole that the top of the egg goes through is so small that even the small end of the egg only gets a small amount of its top mangled off. The resulting hole is not big enough to use even a small egg spoon in to eat the egg. Mine is going in the trash because it will never be used. It is actually unusable and it is just taking up space in the drawer. Not the vendor's fault, just a horribly, poorly designed product.

If you want a topper, it does the job
It works fine as long as you hold your egg firmly and apply a fair bit of pressure while twisting upwards. I always use it with soft boiled eggs and am happy with it. One star off because the finger slots are a little sharp inside.

Reccommend it with reservations
I would love to have given it a 5 but didn't due to the fact that if your eggs have a thin shell (Free Roaming Eggs, Organic Eggs)it tends to crush the top of the egg rather than cut it clean and you have to be careful some of the thin shell doesn't get into the egg. The store brands, I believe have thicker shells and works well on those. I still use it for the thinner egg shell but am careful.
