New column reminder! Gadget Inspector is a new series that will investigate, criticize and test some of the most unique disposable kitchen appliances on the market (or found on eBay). The goal is to figure out why these items are or were "one thing". Which ones will really surprise us, and which ones will make us wish we didn't spend $9.99?

To start this column, I decided to try Eggstractor first, which is a device that allows you to make a dream peeling egg. Eggstractor uses the magic of compressed air to take out the egg from the bottom, completely shellless. Or it should. In theory, if you eat 400 eggs a day, or if you are allergic to boiled eggs that do not sound as smooth as Michael Bublé, this tool will make your life easier.

As you can see from the photo above, it only consists of two parts. One is a three-legged base and the other is an accordion-like top. You should press down hard so that the Eggstractor can pull the egg out. You don't know how excited I am to receive this package from people who sell it on eBay.

When I received it, its outer packaging was covered with disturbing hair. After staring at the hair longer than I should have, trying to determine its origin, I came to the conclusion that it was either dog hair or short human hair. Although this has nothing to do with the device itself (the Eggstractor inside is original), this is really a detail I need to share with you. Now I have it.

Adjust your delivery date, exchange coffee roasted to order, and deliver it in the freshest condition according to your schedule.

As the box said, "The magic of the patented Eggstractor is pure science!" Based on strategically placed capital letters, I have been convinced. This thing wants to save mankind, using pure science.

There is a part of a hard-boiled egg with a shell, just the air gap between the egg and the shell. The Eggstractor box also uses capital letters to describe it as Air Cell. When you flatten the bellows part of the device, the air compression should force the air out of the small pocket between the cooked egg and the shell, separating the two. At that time the egg was blown violently from the small hole at the bottom, located between the three legs of the stand. It is recommended that you use large eggs or extra-large eggs, so I chose extra-large eggs, which is the only egg in my refrigerator.

And, conveniently, the instructions include many suggested recipes, such as the classic dishes "apple-boiled eggs" (which sounds like that) and omelets (without using Eggstractor).

Then I noticed this strange little cone on the base, thinking that it is part of a mechanism that can hold the bellows in place when you press it like a CPR, but in fact, its existence is actually a reality. Reason.

You should tap the air sac side of the egg to pierce the shell. The instructions also call this side of the egg "little end", which is a lovely description. You should also give some cracks to the "big end". This has turned to as much work as peeling a hard-boiled egg by hand.

The last part of the description does indicate that this may not be effective immediately, at least until I master it.

"Eggstactor [sic] is very interesting for the whole family. You may need a few attempts to master it, so if your eggs don’t come out completely the first time, please take a break and try again. We guarantee you will Do it right, just make sure you follow Eggstructions Eggsactly! If you follow Eggstructions Eggsactly, you will be an Eggspert Eggstractor!"

Egg structure. To be precise. Eggspert. It's time to exercise my opinion.

After I boiled nine eggs (this is exactly the number of eggs left in my carton), I let them cool a few in ice water, then I rolled up my sleeves and finally took the puppy for a drive.

I put on my shirt and pushed the accordion down as fast as possible, but not too violently. A quick hiss sounded, and then nothing happened. My first attempt failed. I lowered my head in shame and stepped my foot on the floor. After inspecting the egg, I found that it was only tilted to one side, so I readjusted it and reset the top. I tried it again. The eggs also slide down in the same way. I repeated the incident and became very sad and depressed.

Then, humming the theme song to Loki in my head, I smoked again. The same thing happened.

"Fuck it," I said. "I can't give up."

I decided to go to Super Eggstractor, I jumped up and down, pressed the egg accordion-finally, I felt something other than the sweat that started to form on my forehead.

When I lowered my head, I was greeted by a very broken egg yolk with a little white attached to it, and egg fragments everywhere. I wish I could see this thing flying out of the bottom of the device.

I can't believe it finally worked. If you can call it work.

How did this happen? This is amazing! The egg's starter cracks were on the top and bottom, not on the sides, and the yolk apparently flew out from there. I hope I am a forensic physicist, because this must be a crime scene for me. I wish I could put a lot of things together, but my pea-sized brain could hardly accept what I saw.

With the confidence of my initial success (is success the right word?), I attacked another egg. This is even more incredible.

This is incredible. Except for the little egg white crown above, the yolk is almost 100% exposed. I mean, see how the egg yolk pops out (almost) perfectly, unscathed. After trying again and again, I ended up with a bunch of destroyed eggs, none of which were properly peeled.

In order to see if that batch of eggs sticks to the shell easily, I peeled one manually for comparison. The result was smooth and perfect. They say that old eggs are ideal; these are indeed refrigerated eggs that have been refrigerated for several weeks.

I took a bite of the perfect hand-peeled eggs, thinking how unpleasant the kitchen smells, and then thinking, "What if I put a raw egg in this thing?" So I grabbed a fresh one from a new carton For the raw egg, hit the sides with the small object on the Eggstractor, and then push it hard.

Apart from please nominate me for the Pulitzer Prize for Thematic Photography, I don't think I need to say much. I may not have gotten a bunch of fully peeled hard-boiled eggs from the Eggstractor test, but I left with one of the best food photos ever. Thank you for being with me on my journey, eggs, prayer, love.

This article made me laugh out loud, and the photos are great. This reminds me of when my father gave it to us a few years ago. We tried it once, failed, and then quietly dealt with it. Our eggs look a lot like yours.
