A soft-boiled egg is the ultimate breakfast ritual. But there’s one problem: opening it neatly. One clumsy tap with a spoon or knife, and the shell shatters, leaving tiny fragments everywhere.
Fortunately, there’s a small, discreet tool—often mistaken for a cigar cutter—that promises to solve this problem.
At first glance, this object is intriguing. Small, usually made of metal, and featuring a slightly vintage design, it could easily be mistaken for a smoking accessory or a DIY tool. In reality, its purpose is surprisingly simple: it cleanly removes the top of a soft-boiled egg without damaging the rest of the shell.
Simply place the egg in an egg cup, position the tool over the top, gently operate the mechanism, and—click!—the top of the shell comes off in one clean piece, with no effort and no mess. No more shell fragments ruining your breakfast.
