The egg cups look great and the cutter seemed to be really cool. They are very pretty.
But then you actually use them.....
The metal cups are so thin, when you place a freshly boiled egg into them they heat up to the temperature of the egg immediately. You can no longer handle the egg cups without burning the bejesus out of your fingers. You would think this would be remedied by using the cool looking egg opener (Topper Tool) except it is useless.
It sits atop the egg and defies any attempt to open the egg - it's sole purpose for existence. You fiddle with it, you turn it, you apply pressure (awkwardly because touching the cup with a hot egg means burning the before mentioned bejesus out of your fingers.) The "topper tool" just sits on the egg like an ugly hat on a rich lady at the Kentucky Derby.
So you reach for the directions and they state:
"Carefully nudge when pulling up and the egg shell will remove with the topper, or just raise with a nudge from the egg spoon."
There is no instruction on how to get the sharp metal edges of the "topper" to CUT OR OTHERWISE ENGAGE THE SHELL. After destroying four soft boiled eggs I put the whole mess back into its box and sent it back.
Spare yourself the time, frustration and burnt fingers and give this a HARD PASS!
