Golden Goose: Gadget Makes In-Shell Scrambled Eggs

Chances are, you’ve probably never tasted an in-shell scrambled egg. This culinary delicacy is rare simply because it’s kind of a pain to shake up an egg enough to thoroughly mix the white and yolk without cracking the shell. A new, low-tech, hand-powered kitchen gadget called the Golden Goose aims to make the process much easier.

The simple device consists of a protective case that goes around the egg, and two handles attached by twisted string. Alternating the egg back and forth mixes up the egg by centrifugal force, all while keeping the delicate shell protected.

The result can be hard-boiled, soft-boiled, deviled, fried, pickled or simply ‘scrambled’ like normal, adding an unusual twist to meals like egg salad. The Golden Goose is made of lightweight and recyclable materials, and the egg cradle is dishwasher-safe.

While the process is possible using no more than a t-shirt and some rubber bands, the Golden Goose provides a little more control. The designers are currently raising production funds on Kickstarter.

Marble Vase Wants to Be the Target of Your Frustration

We’ve all felt the type of frustration that makes you want to take a sledgehammer to something breakable. Italian designers Moreno Ratti and Paolo Ulian created the Introverso 2, a beautiful rectangular vase that looks like stacks of marble slabs. See it in the right light, however, and its fun secret becomes apparent.

Seen straight-on, the rectangular vase reveals the silhouette of a more traditionally-shaped vase. It’s a bit like looking at a curved vase through a set of closed blinds. The Introverso 2 is lovely just as it is, but if you ever feel the need to bust out a sledgehammer and start breaking things, this is the one vase that can handle it.

Using a hammer, you chip away the corners and edges of the rectangular vase until the curved interior vase reveals itself. The marble neatly breaks away until the perfect, elegant, slightly angular inner vase stands where the rectangular vase once was. The vase can be used in either shape – but we recommend leaving it in its original form until you have a very, very bad day.
