faq
how we intended you to use it
hold the egg about 6 to 8 inches above the plate.
drop it.
the flat surface cracks it clean at the equator. no fragments.
pull the shell off. two halves. done.
tilt toward the spout. egg slides into the pan.
use it however.
eggs aren't that hard to crack. why do i need this?
you don't need it. but its cute tho UwU
is this dishwasher safe?
yes.
what's the difference between this and just using a bowl?
a bowl doesn't have a spout. that's the whole difference, and it's the only one that matters.
does the spout actually work, or is it decorative?
it works. wider than a yolk, so you can pour the cracked egg straight into a bowl for scrambling or right into the pan. nothing gets stuck on the way.
why is it shaped like that?
a flat surface distributes the impact when you crack an egg, so the shell breaks cleaner and the membrane stays more intact. a sharp edge concentrates the force in one spot. that's why fragments end up in your bowl.
is the character on the plate going to wear off?
no. it's a ceramic decal, fired into the glaze. it'll outlast the plate.
can i put this in the microwave or oven?
it's ceramic, so yes, but there's no reason to. it's a plate for cracking eggs, not cooking them.
what if i just don't crack eggs that often?
then you'll have a nice small plate. it's fine either way.
how do i clean it?
soap and water, or the dishwasher. nothing about this plate needs special handling.
does it fit jumbo eggs?
yes. the cracking zone is 85mm across, wider than any standard or jumbo egg. there's room.
does it come in gift packaging?
it ships in a small box with tissue paper. nothing branded or elaborate. if you need a card, you'll need to add one yourself.
what's the difference between the ceramic and the steel version?
ceramic is thicker (7mm base), heavier, and has a matte glaze. steel is 2mm, lighter, and has a brushed finish. same cracking zone, same spout, same price.
will the ceramic one break?
it can break if you drop it on a hard floor. that's true of all ceramic. it won't crack from normal use, heat cycling, or repeated washing.
what else can i use it for?
idk. whatever you can use a small plate for. a spatula rest. somewhere to put your rings while you cook. a small ceramic thing on the counter. it's 125mm across.
