recipe.
It works for me some of the time, probably about 25%.
The most important key is to first start with an egg that doesn't stick
to its shell. Unfortunately, for all the tips I've read, I still can't
do that consistently. (Yes, I know about not using fresh eggs, placing
in ice water, etc.)
The second most important key is to make sure you pierce the inner skin
when you hit that little pointed thing on the Eggstractor. The design
depends on being able to pump air inside that soft skin. It may take
several piercings to do the trick.
And finally, as the instructions state, don't be shy about cracking the
large end of the egg. It needs help getting started.
I think if I could be more consistent with the first key, I could get it
to work most of the time. The times I have the most trouble are on those
eggs that I would have trouble peeling by hand, too. The ones that would
peel real easy by hand (where they almost come off in a couple pieces)
are ones that I can get to work with the Eggstractor.

Why is it that when you transport something by car, it's called a
shipment, but when you transport something by ship, it's called cargo?
