Abstract
The egg-cracking fixture has a base portion adapted for conformal integration with the sidewall of the skillet, and further has a tapered body that extends away from the base to define sloping side walls and an elongated egg cracking ridge. The ridge is thus disposed within the confines of the skillet, generally above the pan bottom and inwardly from the rim. The egg-cracking fixture can be attached to the skillet in a variety of ways, including different removably attaching ways to allow the user to choose from among fixtures of different egg-cracking profiles.

An egg cracker for an egg cooking skillet of the type having a pan bottom, an enclosing sidewall extending around the periphery of the pan bottom to define a rim, the egg cracker comprising:
- an egg-cracking fixture having a base portion adapted for conformal integration with the sidewall of the skillet,
- the fixture further having a tapered body that extends away from the base to define sloping side walls and an elongated egg-cracking ridge;
- the ridge being disposed within the confines of the skillet, generally above the pan bottom and inwardly from the rim.
An egg cracker for an egg cooking skillet of the type having a pan bottom, an enclosing sidewall extending around the periphery of the pan bottom to define a rim, the egg cracker comprising:
- a kit of different egg cracking fixtures, each having a base portion adapted for conformal integration with the sidewall of the skillet,
- each fixture further having a tapered body that extends away from the base to define sloping side walls and an elongated egg-cracking ridge;
- an attachment means by which a selected one of the kit is removably secured to the skillet such that the ridge is disposed within the confines of the skillet, generally above the pan bottom and inwardly from the rim.
