My favorite breakfast always involves eggs in one form or another. One of the ways that I like them is soft-boiled and I long ago discovered that the most convenient way to have a soft –boiled egg is to hold it in an egg cup while you spoon out the delicious inside with a small “egg spoon”. However the frustrating problem is in opening the top without burning your fingers. I would gently tap the top with the back of my spoon to crack it and then quickly flick off pieces of the shell by hand.
So…last week I decided to invest in an egg decapper (also sometimes known as a topper). There are several types of decappers, perhaps the best known is the scissors type, but I discovered this little baby on e-bay that pierces the shell and then neatly cuts off the top from the inside. I used it this morning for the first time and am real pleased. I hope that it holds up to longtime use.
Here are remains of this mornings breakfast.
Teddy, of course, thinks that all of this is silly. Hmmmm...perhaps she's right.

I bought just the same model of decapper, but cannot get it to work! I pressed it down and rotated it but nothing happened! What am I doing wrong?
you must rotate it a certain way, clockwise
