can I use it to pick up an egg without the egg breaking ??

I haven't tried but I guess it would depend on how hard you squeezed the egg. I think the egg would fit in the grippers, but.....

Yes, easily done, I know this as I just tried it so I could answer your question.

I don't know about picking up an egg. I haven't tried it.. I suppose if you're real careful you might be able to. I picked up a paper clip off the floor and little pieces of paper. I just might try it next time I cook an egg. Sorry, I couldn't be of more help.

I am sure you could. The gripper tips are nicely padded with rubber and curved to fit just about anything.

Haven't tried it for eggs, but may not work right unless boiled to death & even then. The blades of the Joie are thick & close together. Good for slices of strawberries & the like, but may just mash eggs to a pulp. There's a reason egg slicers are wires & not blades.

Yes. You have to manually turn them but there is an automatic egg turner for this you can buy.

They might be able to do it. The pressure on the grip handle cannot be adjusted. It is the same grip for everything and may break the egg. In general the ends are better for lighter items. I am not able to test it for you.

It can, if you push it hard enough, however it will not pick anything up and will most likely break if you do attempt to use it in this manner.

no you can't, the grill is slanted downward to allow for drippings to empty out so your eggs would simply run down into the drippings catcher.

When you put the dome over the small part of the egg, you may have to pull the handle a couple of times to break the shell. Pull the handle to the side to lift the egg shell off the bottom part.

Only if you forget to take the point guard off -- or you press too hard. A small hole through the shell is all that's required. You'll love how nicely the hard-boiled eggs peel! My husband says this is the greatest gadget I have!!

I think it depend on what you are trying to do. I was trying to make a scrambled edge to put on a muffin. I think it will work if I can get the heat right. I don't like my scrambled eggs dry.

I wouldn't use it for eggs, especially over easy. It's big and heavy and the edge is beveled for cutting. I bought it to use with lasagna but it is too long for that. So far, I've not found a use for it.

Theoretically yes - but I've yet to get it to work well. One problem being the rounded bottom so that you need to have it balanced in something, something with water (where the water can still steam up and circulate) seems to work best, and then using a plastic shield cover as well. Doing a scrambled egg might work better than poaching if you don't have the cover. The microwave egg cookers work better. These do work well for baking molds - but again, the rounded bottom means it has to be balanced somehow to keep it from tipping over.

I think you can! I have never personally done that but I think it could be done. I would be careful not to fill the pot w/ 2 much water since it is a small pan; just cover the egg with just enough water.

Yes you can spray it with Pam so that the eggs come out easier...Hope this helps...

I hope you are using a mitt to protect your hand when you pick up the hot egg poacher... I tip the poacher slightly and use a small rubber or plastic spatula that will not scratch the surface of the poacher to slide the egg out. Clean up by hand... I ruined the non-stick surface of my previous poacher by cleaning in the dishwasher.

Yes it does. It is perfect for flipping eggs without a spatula. It is sturdy and does not tip or wobble.

Mine has worked wonderfully. But, the secret to not cracking the eggs is when you put the egg on the pin hole point. make sure you use the small end of the egg, and don't apply much pressure, I still crack at least one.

I have not broken one yet... make sure you make the hole on the top of the egg, which is the larger part of the egg. The owner's manual has very specific 'egg' facts and handling instructions.
