Engineering:Egg piercer
From HandWiki
Short description: Device used in the cooking of eggs

An egg piercer pierces the air pocket of an eggshell with a small needle to keep the shell from cracking during boiling.[1]
If both ends of the shell are pierced, the egg can be blown out while preserving the shell (for crafts).[1]
Examples of egg piercers from the 19th century exist.
