if you google ‘how to make a golden egg,’ you’ll most likely stumble upon different shotty in-house contraptions or tutorials, usually requiring the use of nylon leggings to create centrifugal force. rather than having to watch ‘how-to’ videos, the golden ‘goose’ by chicago-based Y LINE design studio offers a low-tech, hand-powered solution that uses the same spinning principle for scrambling the contents without breaking the shell. the kitchen gadget works by alternating the rotation of an egg back and forth, mixing the white and yolk inside without using air. ‘the goose’ features lightweight and recyclable materials, comfortable handles, and a high quality 1/8 inch abrasion resistant cord system for easy clean-up.

‘we never intended to develop a goose,’ explains geraint krumpe, founder of Y LINE. ‘in fact, when we first heard that it was possible to scramble an egg in its shell, we were so curious that we stayed up until 4-am breaking every egg in sight. the following day I was reminded of an old victorian era toy that rotates back and forth, so I stole the shoelaces from my tennis shoes and combined them with a plastic jar to create the first rough prototype.’
