Egg piercer
Device used in the cooking of eggs
An egg piercer pierces the air pocket of an eggshell with a small needle to keep the shell from cracking during hard-boiling.[1] If both ends of the shell are pierced, the egg can be blown out while preserving the shell (for crafts). Examples of egg piercers from the 19th century exist.
