  • Publication number: 20060260134
    Abstract: An egg cracking apparatus has a base provided with an egg cracking element, a bottom lid having an opening for receiving an egg and being connected with the base pivotally between a first position in which it is pivoted away from the base and a second position in which it is located close to the base, and a top lid connected with the bottom lid pivotally between a first position in which it is pivoted away from the bottom lid and a second position in which it is located close to the bottom lid, so that when in the first position of the bottom lid an egg is placed in the opening of the bottom lid and the top lid is pivoted from the first position of the top lid to the second position of the top lid, and both lids are pivoted from the first position of the bottom lid to the second position of the bottom lid, and add located in the bottom lid is pressed by the top lid toward the egg cracking element and is cracked by the egg cracking element.
