Some of us more ignorant egg cookers have been missing out on a gadget that’s been used in Asia for decades. Simply titled the ‘half-boiled egg maker’, it’s a simple plastic device that takes all the difficulty out of boiling eggs.
These little beauties are for sale in specialty stores and online for around $20.
