Tue May 08 08:17:37 -0700 2007 11277 Paul H 1 2551258 Gee, I haven't seen one of these in years! I'd try somewhere like Bridge which has an immense selection of kitchenware ... http://www.bridgekitchenware.com/ Tue May 08 08:19:41 -0700 2007 2551252 11069 fauchon 2 2551315 Thank you very much! They have two types, but they call the tool an "egg topper" http://www.bridgekitchenware.com/results.cfm?Criteria=egg+topper Tue May 08 08:35:22 -0700 2007 2551258 11277 Paul H 3 2551345 Glad you found it...which one will you get...the plunger or the shear type? Aeons ago, I had the shear type & found it a pain. Always ended up with bits of eggshell in my egg...I got rid of it & just used a knife. It's probably been much improved since then... Tue May 08 08:42:51 -0700 2007 2551315 11069 fauchon 4 2551391 I'm not sure which one I'm going to get. I love kitchen gadgets, but spending $50 on a tool to cut off the top of an eggshell does seem a bit excessive. Although I do have a truffle shaver, it wasn't $50. Tue May 08 08:55:38 -0700 2007 2551345 11277 Paul H 5 2551416 D'accord. $50 to cut off the top of an egg does seem a trifle on the high end. OTOH, I'd sure love to know if the d*mn thing works better than the older version. Do report back! Tue May 08 09:02:54 -0700 2007 2551391 11069 fauchon 5 2569931 I agree, don't bother with the shears, unless you enjoy obsessively compulsively picking bits of eggshell out of your egg. If you want a clean-edged egg, there's really nothing that works as well as the "plunger-style" egg toppers.

Search for egg topper and it'll bring up some options. There's no need to spend $50 for such a gizmo!
