Description
Tired of eggs cracking while boiling? This safe, spring-loaded egg piercer creates a clean hole on the blunt end to help reduce pressure buildup. The hidden needle only activates when pressed, making it safer and more intuitive to use
To use it, simply place the egg on top (blunt end down) and press gently. The internal spring mechanism releases the hidden needle, creating a precise puncture – it retracts automatically when you release.
Note: the hidden needle must be glued in place during assembly. Detailed photos are included to help.
