Abstract:
The egg peeler device accessories comprise replaceable top caps for an egg peeler such that each replaceable top cap reconfigures the egg peeler to perform a specific task. The replaceable top caps fit onto the top end of a body of the egg peeler in place of an original top cap. The first replaceable top cap reconfigures the egg peeler to separate egg yolks and egg whites. This cap comprises a plurality of slots around a concave portion of the cap such that egg whites flow through the plurality of slots while the egg yolk remains in the cap. The second replaceable top cap reconfigures the egg peeler to peel one or more cloves of garlic. The cloves are placed within the body and shaken where they strike spikes projecting from the inside surface of the second replaceable top cap, separating the coves and peeling them.
