Whasit?
What is this? The head is 3-1/2 inches across. The whole is 11 inches. The head is a continuous spring cup. Springy, not rigid. I'm assuming it's a cook's tool.

Looks like an egg separator. Crack an egg into the bowl and white runs out leaving the yolk behind.

Well, that's kind of what I thought. It just seemed a little elaborate.

Does it make a "boing" sound? If it does it is a boing generator, otherwise I suppose it could be a plain old egg separator...

MMMMhmmmm egg seperater, but, I still think that our hands are a far better tool for the job. Not to mention, free.

I have a metal one, but usually use my hand.
I Googled egg separator and looked at the image to see if something like GLC was there. It was. But, there were some really gross ones with the egg white coming out of a cup with a face.
