HIC Kitchen's Fine Porcelain Double Egg Cup is 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.
