A truly hot setup for making a single hole in an egg is to use a Dremel-type tool with a cone-shaped 1/8" bit to start the hole, followed by a ball-shaped 1/8" bit. Both bits preferably diamond grit to minimimize vibration (can be had inexpensively at [http://www.harborfreight.com/diamond-point-rotary-bit-set-20-pc-69653.html harbor freight]). The 1/8" size, though small, works fine with the one-hole egg blower referenced above. | A truly hot setup for making a single hole in an egg is to use a Dremel-type tool with a cone-shaped 1/8" bit to start the hole, followed by a ball-shaped 1/8" bit.

A piece of ordinary 14 gauge copper wire, such as found in ordinary household Romex electric cable, works a treat. First cut a straight piece a few inches long. Now bend a small (maybe 1/4") offset in it part way down, and then the part below the offset bend to become parallel again with the top straight piece. To scramble the yolk, slip the wire into the egg, and twirl between your thumb and finger while moving the wire gently up and down. |
