This is a well made set, attractive and, more importantly, functional. As mentioned in other reviews, it comes neatly packaged in a case that is designed to hold the pieces in a well protected foam environment. I am not among those who think the pieces should be stored in the shipping case but, if that's your desire it's a very nice case indeed.
I appreciated the seller's communications, making certain that I knew how to use the egg cracker and suggesting some egg cracking methodology. Oddly, these instructions were not included with the product itself. Nonetheless, egg cracking is not difficult. On my first attempt, I did as suggested, one light tap followed by 2 or 3 more taps (the ball on top is spring loaded; pulling up and releasing it will hit or tap the egg. The force of the hit is determined by how high you pull the ball before letting go). Trying the seller's method resulted in many cracks, not much better than tapping the side of the egg with a knife edge. I then tried one hard tap, pulling the ball all the way up and releasing. That method worked perfectly and has continued to work each time I have used it. I get a nice clean break, almost laser like, and the top is easily removed.
The seller does state that all eggs are different and that you might need to adjust the force with which you hit the egg. So far, my eggs have all been pretty much the same and have succumbed to one quick, hard hit. Lucky, I guess.
The cups themselves are very nice, the spoons are a perfect size and the cracker is small enough that it does not take up much room when stored. My only minor complaint about the set was that one of the spoons arrived bent, or should I say unbent in that it was much straighter than the other spoons and did not quite nestle when laid next to the other 3 spoons. A little force got it back in good enough shape.
I like this product, it does what it says it will and it looks good. I also appreciate the seller's following up to make sure I had a good experience with it.
Despite two minor flaws, a lack of included directions and a slightly bent spoon, this still gets 5 stars. It will heighten your egg enjoyment and would also make a very nice gift since it is so functional and nicely packaged.
