Egg cracker. I just now saw this for the first time on TV.
Oh no. I feel a laughing fit coming on.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha . Heh. aaaah.
There.
It's the little egg separator bowl, "plop," that kills me.
The industrial version cracks eggs by the hundreds. Visualize 100 of these things arranged around a drum. They're fed with eggs automatically by conveyor and they separate whites from yolks for commercial purposes. Both whites and yolks get siphoned off into separate holding tanks. Mostly sold separately, some of it is recombined in measure and turned to powder in a gigantic heater/pressure-sprayer-blower. It's awesome. It's a glorious achievement of the industrialization and at the same time the de-humanization of our food.
