Tools, utensils, and equipment needed in egg preparation
Tool a handheld device that aids in accomplishing a task Utensil an implement, instrument, or vessel used in a household and especially a kitchen Equipment we usually refer to the larger items in the kitchen that handle the bulk of the prep and cooking processes.
Coddler It is usually made up of porcelain, heat proof glass with screw on top. How to use it? Egg is broken into the cup, screwed on and the cup submerged in simmering water until the egg is cooked. 2. The egg is eaten directly in the coddler.

Piercer A sharp-pointed tool for gently pricking a very small hole in the large end of an eggshell before hard-cooking.
Needle A clean, preferably sterilized, thumbtack, pin or needle can also be used for piercing.
Why piercing is being done? Piercing may allow some air to escape and some water to seep into the egg during cooking which may make peeling easier.
Hairline cracks in the shell
Poacher A rack that holds one egg-sized cups over a simmering water. It is a small colander-like form that holds an egg as it poaches in simmering water. Rack a framework, typically with rails, bars, hooks, or pegs, for holding or storing things.
