I got an egg cup in Germany with left handed threads. you screw the egg in and it stays put.
unfortunately it's of no use in USA because over here the hens all lay eggs with English threads, not metric.

YUP! Mom used demi tasse spoons.Back in the old days, you'd take the top off the cooked egg, but not down to the edge of the egg cup. Then you'd use an egg spoon (shorter handle and smaller bowl) to scoop out the egg. There was enough eggshell exposed above the edge of the cup so you could steady it with your other hand.
It's about technique, not equipment.
