Bring an end to cracking eggs open on the side of the pan, only to end up with several tiny slivers of shell fall in with the contents of the egg.
New Easy-Break Eggs will automatically detect when they are hovering over a hot pan, and will neatly open themselves up and throw yolk, white, or both,
depending on your pre-assigned preferences, right where you want them.
Alternatively, an egg that cooks itself might be handy for camping trips.

Making cheap things that
"automatically detect when they
are hovering over a hot pan"
sounds tricky. |
|
| |
A simpler technique might be to
pre-score the shell along its
equator, so that it always breaks
cleanly in two. |
|
| |
Or you could always get those eggs in a carton... no messy shells to deal with. |
|

Last I checked, the manufacturing process for eggs was somewhat difficult to change... especially if you want the occasional viable one so that you have more chickens who can produce these specialized eggs. |

Edible eggshells! Now that's an idea. They could come in "toast", "nacho" and "potato". |
|
| |
"Fruedian Fowl": geneiticly altered chickens, with a ring of teeth surrounding the reproductive apperatus, programmed to contract halfway through the egg laying process, neatly perforating the egg. Alternitively, the egshell could be made edible, I suppose. I'm emailing this to Monsanto immeadiatly - isn't the Twentyfirst Century great! |

My sympathy goes out to the cockerels. |

You bastard. You made me laugh so much I nearly had the baby! |
|
| |
I think I've had enough of opening a carton of eggs and
finding a slimy mess and pieces of egg shell. |
|
| |
An egg with a screw-off top would fit the bill nicely.
Barring that, I think the scored shell idea is a good one. |
|
| |
I dunno if I've ever seen such a collection of wimps, complaining about how hard it is to open an egg...the biggest problem with them is how to keep them from opening prematurely... |
|
| |
You could program the chicken DNA to have an egg with a rubbery shell; it would open when pinched harshly. |

Nice idea and all. But for god sakes it an EGG!!! I don't think you need to geneticly engineer and animal's DNA to make a better egg. Here's what you do; whenever you go into a truck stop place that sells food bring in a few eggs. The usually have a microwave you can use to heat up your food. It is usually old worn out. Put a few eggs in the microwave, very stealthy. Set it on low and walk out. The egg will begin to boil inside its shell and eventually explode!!! Great for those places where they give you horible service all the time! DEpending on the microwave it will either rip the door off with the explosion or it wil contain the blast. But it will always make a mess. hehehe -TheLambs |

Just add DDT to mama's diet. Thermal shock in proximity
to the skillet should take care of the rest. |

hey, Scott D--wouldn't Fruedian Fowl have something to do with them secretly wanting to have sex with everything in sight? |
