Egg Spoon Buyer’s Guide
An egg spoon is a specialised spoon to eat boiled eggs with. It has a longer handle and a more rounded bowel, often with a pointed tip to help facilitate the eating of egg from an egg cup.

Quality
The best mirror-polished stainless steel egg spoons should have a proportional weight which feels nicely balanced and stable in the hand. Egg spoons can be made of porcelain or metal; stainless steel is often the most popular material due to its smooth lines and high-quality, taste-free finish.
Good quality stainless steel egg spoons will be safe for the dishwasher and retain their shine indefinitely.
Design
The design of the spoon’s bowl can vary: from a rounded scoop to something more oval with a slightly pointed end. The idea is to allow access to the inside of the egg smoothly and easily without breaking more of the shell than necessary.
Size
The best egg spoons are smaller than a teaspoon. They are so handy tha they can often double up as coffee spoons or be used for neat little desserts.
Handle length varies but is usually slightly longer, in proportion to the bowl, to allow easy access to the bottom of the egg.
Conclusion
The joy of an egg spoon is that it can make the experience of eating a delicious soft-boiled egg even more enjoyable. These petite spoons can also be surprisingly versatile and have lots of other uses in the kitchen.
Our recommendation for the best egg spoon is the WMF Nuova Egg Spoon Set which is beautifully designed with a high-quality mirror finish.
