Eggstractor

Let me show you the best $2.99 ever spent!

The Eggstractor!!!!!! I bought it in Florida at Flea World, marked down several times and figured why not?!

We tried with Johnny's mom's eggs and because they are so fresh they don't peel well and it was a dud. So, I bought some eggs from the store (don't worry I still stayed free range and vegetarian fed) so we could try it out. Whoo boy!

First - it worked. I was shocked and amazingly pleased. No more tapping and rolling and peeling and cursing eggs.

Second - it's so much fun!



If you do get yourself an eggstractor, I have two pointers. Do not follow their advice of only boiling the eggs 6-8 minutes because our yolks were way underdone. I'd go for the standard 10 minute boil. And keep the eggs cold up until the minute you're going to eggstract them. Our first few went well and the last ones that had been on the counter were a lot more stubborn (as demonstrated in the above video).

You tap a hole, using the attached point in the small end of the egg and whack the wide end on the counter.

Then, you put the spring cover thing over it, cross your hands and pump down with force and out shoots the egg!

Most of the time you just have a very small section left at the wide end to peel off, but that's no biggie!

(Johnny's hands, not mine - don't get all freaked out!)
