I couldn't figure out how this thing worked based on the description and reviews but I was tired of cutting off the tops of soft boiled eggs which usually left bits of shell in the egg. . I thought this little gadget worked GREAT! Here's how: The outer edge of the cracker is a bit sharp and will scratch the eggshell. By pulling back and releasing the plunger, you essentially just "smack" the cracker onto the egg and crack the shell. I've found that it's best to make the cob 2-3 times in a row without removing the egg from the cracker between dips. So it always ends up in the same place. After the last dive, I turn the cracker back and forth until the shell breaks off. Very easy, and you end up with a nice, clean cut without a lot of the tiny bits of broken eggshell that you get when you cut an egg with a knife. Some reviews say to use this on the wide side of the egg but I found it worked great on the narrow side. I used eggs from my local farmers market, which tend to be large/extra large. WARNING. Even if the plunger only touches the egg and not the egg cup, it will *break* a fragile egg cup, even one that's very thick and strong (I found this out the hard way). Now my next task is to figure out what else I can do with this little gadget because I hate having "Unitasker" in my kitchen. In this case, however, I think an exception to this rule is justified.
