Ever since I caught one of the Iron Chefs using a gadget like this on TV, I wanted one. The Clack Egg Cracker is a device that allows you to crack off one end of an egg-shell in a perfect circle. It gets its name from the loud "clack" it makes as it works. As you might imagine, it makes peeling boiled eggs significantly easier.
The show I first saw this on was one of the original Iron Chef episodes, not Iron Chef America, and the chef sliced a perfect circle of shell from a raw egg, not a boiled one, before using the empty shell as a serving dish. I tried to do the same thing myself, but a tool like this one would have done it in a fraction of the time. Granted, it may not be the most practical device, especially if your main purpose is to make Iron Chef-style serving dishes, but it's certainly a conversation piece. Priced at about $20, I might just be willing to invest for coolness alone.
