ez cracker

EZ Cracker, 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 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 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. You know, come to think of it, they'll probably sell millions of these things.

This is the home single-unit version of an industrial device that 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. The tanks are actually labeled "yolks" and "whites." 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 concurrently of the de-humanization of our food. It separates us from our source of food on a national scale, international scale, in fact.
