US Patent 11832746 Egg cup with knife guide

An egg cup for cutting an egg with a knife has a main body with a base and an upwardly extending sidewall that extends upwardly to a top perimeter. The top perimeter defines an opening that allows access to an interior chamber formed by the main body, wherein the interior chamber is shaped to receive the egg. The egg cup further has a top ring having a connector that connects to the top ring to the top perimeter such that the top ring and the top perimeter form a gap therebetween. The gap is sized to receive the knife between the top ring and the top perimeter so that the knife may slice through the egg and stop at the connector of the top ring.
