Best purchase I ever made was the MCM egg cooker.

I boil a lot of eggs, and I still can hardly believe how easy

the eggs peel. They almost come off in one piece.

Would not want to be without this little gem.

I completely love this little egg cooker, too. So easy and I use it a few times a week.

This is easy - my all time fav kitchen item(s) is any or all of the Kuhn ricon kitchen shears - they have a couple of different sizes.

My first set was such THE BOOMB for me that after I tried them in the kitchen I ordered a few more prs of different sizes that I found. I use them for everything in the kitchen to cut open them horrible plastic shells that we get things like batteries in to cutting up Cornish hens/chickens, snip off the tips of wings, household things that I need a good pf of shears/scissors for to taking a pr outside to trim/prune with, cutting fresh flowers. etc. I gave a pr to my husband to use at his (landscaping) work. I have a pr at the workbench in the basement, and I HAD a pr at the workbench in the garage too but guess what - hubby loves them so much too that he stole that pr!!!

Treat yourself to a pair of these shears and see how many uses you find for them too!

I totally agree...have a pair in every room! Cutting open battery packages is no longer a difficulty and no sliced fingers!! Have also gifted several of these and everyone loves them!!

What is the MCM egg cooker? Is MCM the brand name? I even googled "MCM egg cooker" and came up with nothing. I love eggs, but haven't found an egg cooker that really works well.

I have given these for gifts and I have bought 2 sets for myself. (1 did break) I use these for all my UPS deliveries, cutting up cardboard, cutting ends of wrap from cookies, cheese, etc. Even use them for light trimming in the garden if it isn't a really thick stem. Also for flower arranging. Love them.

I had to laugh one time when watching America's Test Kitchen & they ran a test for best potholder. Chris Kimball, like so many other chefs & cooks, just uses the kitchen towel folded over to hold hot pot handles.

My favorite, manually-operated kitchen gadget is my Genlus chopper. Now my veggie chopping is much faster, easier & neater.

Emeril would use a towel too.

I have a pair of pot grippers from Kuhn Rikon. The current model on Q is K39768; they are available other places as well. I use this gadget all the time in preference to a pot holder. It's strong, easy to grip, and keeps my hands all the way off hot dishes coming out of the oven or microwave.
