HIC Kitchen's set of 6 Fine Porcelain Double Egg Cups are used for serving and enjoying soft-boiled and hard-boiled eggs. Eggs have played a starring role in food culture since the dawn of time, and the use of egg cups dates back to the 18th century BC. Egg cups carefully cradle boiled eggs, holding them in place for easier eating with less mess. The classic design of HIC's Double Egg Cup elevates the egg and adds stability for easier handling for a certain elegant presentation at any table. Easy to use. Simply place a hard-boiled or soft-boiled egg, pointy end up, into the appropriately sized cup. Use the smaller cup for enjoying eggs while still in their shell. The larger cup allows ample room to chop and season eggs after their shell has been removed, and to garnish with crumbled toast, bacon or ham before being enjoyed. To access the portion of egg still inside its shell, gently tap the shell with a knife or spoon around its circumference to crack it below the pointy tip. Remove the top, then scoop out and enjoy every delicious bite. Dunk buttered toast cut into strips, traditionally called toast soldiers, or triangle-shaped toast points into the yolk. A tradition since 1957, HIC's fine-quality porcelain serveware is durable, heat resistant, and free from lead and cadmium. It's safe for use in the freezer, microwave, oven, broiler (to 350-degrees Fahrenheit), and dishwasher safe for easy cleanup. Brought to you by HIC-Harold Import Company. Set of 6 Double Egg Cups.
