Is it ridiculous? Yes. Is it great? Also yes.
No one is going to pretend an egg topper cutter is essential to survival. You can absolutely live your entire life without one.
But if you’re honest about it, this is what it gives you:
– No more shell fragments in your yolk – the main win.
– Speed: the top is off in about two seconds.
– Clean presentation: your egg looks restaurant-ready instead of hacked up with a butter knife.
– Weird elegance: it turns cracking an egg into a tiny, precise ritual instead of a sloppy chore.
– Instant “competent cook” energy: you look like you know exactly what you’re doing.
It’s one of those gadgets that seems absurd until you use it. Then, the next time you’re back to smashing eggs with a spoon and fishing out shell bits, you realize how much nicer that silly little metal loop actually was.
So if you ever find one of these mysterious tools at a garage sale, in a thrift bin, or buried in a kitchen drawer, now you know: it’s not alien, it’s not medical – it’s just a very specialized key to perfect soft-boiled eggs.
And for anyone who loves that gooey golden center, it’s one of the rare single-purpose kitchen tools that truly does its job flawlessly.
