Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Paderno World Cuisine Stainless-Steel Egg Topper

Customer Review: Very Good Egg Topper - For the Price
Summary: 4 Stars

This egg topper works - but not all the time. It also requires a learning curve to figure out how to make it work. This requires patience, and the knowledge that you're going to go through a couple of dozen eggs before you start getting the hang of it. It also means you will need to have a lot of napkins on hand, since the results of what happens when it doesn't work like it should are sometimes quite messy due to the yolk running all over the place.

There may be better egg toppers that work more efficiently, but they're way more expensive.

The trick is to not pull the handle up all the way and let it whack the egg full-blast: the results of that can mean that you end up with a splatter of egg yolk all over the place, since it's too powerful. However, if you don't pull the handle up far enough, it won't cut the egg very evenly. So there's a certain range where you need to lift the handle before releasing it to get the optimum cut, and this takes practice.

Also, you have to hold it very steady and almost precisely at the vertical to get it to cut the egg with a nice neat circle. Otherwise, you'll end up with one side of the egg cut deeply, and the other side not at all.

Third, you need to keep the edge sharp - which is hard to do, since it's a curved, circular edge. I use my knife steel sharpener rod on it, going around and around the cutting edge before using it, to make sure it's very sharp. This seems to help a lot in achieving the optimum performance.

However, even if you do everything correct, sometimes it won't work right. This is frustrating. But when it does work right, it's fantastic - the top of the shell just lifts cleanly right off of the egg - exposing it to use with a spoon to clean it out.

You should definitely also buy egg holder cups - they're almost essential to make it work right. And some egg spoons, which make it easy to scoop out the egg once the shell top is removed. All-in-all, it's nice to sit down to breakfast with a couple of eggs nesting in some egg cups, some toast, and the egg topper to neatly get the thing going. Just keep your fingers crossed when you use it!
