Cracked shells and egg white leaking into the water is a common problem when boiling eggs. Piercing a hole before placing in boiling water solves this once and for all - eggs stay intact. Fans of hard and soft boiled eggs. Pierced eggs peel much easier, without tearing the shell or damaging the white. Ideal for salads, sandwiches, stuffed eggs where a smooth surface matters. Home breakfasts and Easter. When cooking larger quantities of eggs (family breakfast, holiday eggs) the piercer saves nerves - fewer cracked shells and faster peeling of the whole batch. Design and how it works Polished stainless steel body mounted on a black plastic base that stabilizes the device on the countertop. Inside is a thin steel needle. Place the egg blunt end down on the piercer and press lightly - the needle makes a tiny, invisible hole in the shell. The hole pierces the air chamber located at the blunt end of the egg. During cooking, air and steam can escape freely instead of pushing the shell from inside - thus the shell does not crack. Additionally, water slightly seeps under the membrane, which facilitates later peeling. Diameter 5.5 cm, height 3.3 cm. Hand wash only (not dishwasher safe). Piercer vs piercing with a needle or pin Traditionally, eggs are pierced with a needle or pin held in fingers - risky (easy to prick yourself), inaccurate (sometimes too shallow, sometimes too deep) and inconvenient for larger quantities of eggs. The Gefu Perfo piercer does this safely and consistently: you press the egg, the needle penetrates to the correct depth. The stable base allows one-handed operation, and the steel needle is durable and hygienic. This small gadget solves a specific, recurring kitchen problem - cracked shells and difficult egg peeling.
