Greetings my lovelies, it's Emmy here and welcome back to another vintage gadget test. Today, I'll be testing this little gem called the Electric Egg Scrambler. This egg cooker is meant to take your eggs from this to that, without you having to do a thing. You simply pierce the egg with this needle, which then spins around mixing the yolk and white together. The result can be cooked in its shell or used as omelette filling. I'm not entirely sure what problem this machine is trying to solve, but the spinning needle portion of this device was enough to sell it to me.

The Electric Egg Scrambler is from 1977, a whopping 40 years old contraption. If you like these kinds of vintage gadget tests be sure to check out the playlist which includes the HotDogger -- and it electrocutes hot dogs -- that one too, was from 1977. Definitely worth checking out. Now let's get started with our components -- very appropriate in color, this kind of sunny 70's yellow. This is made by Vision 2000, a menacing kind of needle at a bend, and this is the egg holder; a plug; and some instructions.

Before we begin, I must say I'm excited to see how this little machine works. The first thing you'll notice about it is the sharpness of that needle -- it's quite intimidating. Now let's put everything together. As you can see, there are the three main components: the egg holder, the spinning needle, and a small electric motor. Once we have all these parts in place, we're ready to start testing our Electric Egg Scrambler.

To test our device, we'll use one of our standard eggs -- I think I've got a decent size here. First, let's make sure everything is secure. That plug should be firmly seated into the wall outlet, and all the parts are properly aligned. Now that we have everything in place, let's turn on the Electric Egg Scrambler and see what magic happens.

With our egg safely placed in the device, let's flip the switch and initiate the cooking process. As you can hear, the motor is whirring away quite nicely. The needle will start to spin around at a moderate pace, which I believe should mix up our egg. After about 30 seconds, we'll check on our progress.

Here's how it looks after about 30 seconds of spinning... As you can see, the egg has become quite well mixed -- almost like scrambled eggs. The yolk and white are nicely combined, giving us a fairly uniform color throughout. It seems that this little gadget works just as promised. We should be able to cook our egg in its shell using this spinning needle.

Now that we know how the Electric Egg Scrambler works, let's talk about the fun part: shaking eggs into scrambled eggs with brute strength. While the device itself is certainly satisfying to use, I was curious if I could get a similar result without it. That's exactly what I'll do next. First, I need to get an egg ready -- this will take just a minute or two.

Now that I have my egg in hand, let's talk about how this works. Simply place the egg on your countertop, and start shaking it vigorously for about 30 seconds, then stop, and repeat the process 6 times more than the five second machine. You'll know you're done when the egg white is foamy, indicating that it has broken down somewhat.

Here's my attempt at using brute strength to create scrambled eggs... While I did manage to mix up the yolk and white a bit, there was no way of breaking them apart completely without creating a mess. Once I let go, they just sort of burst open due to the internal pressure. What happened next might not be surprising to you.

As it turns out, that hole made by our Electric Egg Scrambler was enough for Mother Nature to decide to make things interesting... After a few seconds, the egg exploded in my hand! It seems that while shaking eggs with brute strength isn't an effective way of creating scrambled eggs, I can see why some people might be interested in using this little machine. If you want egg-cellent results without all the hassle, then this gadget is probably your best bet.

Now, let's taste our freshly cooked egg to see how it compares to traditional scrambled eggs... Once we cut open our egg and scrape out the contents with a spoon, we're left with what looks like perfectly normal scrambled eggs. It's interesting that they seem so firm -- almost rubbery, similar to the kind you might find in a cafeteria tray.

In terms of flavor, these are very much like regular scrambled eggs, which is good news if you enjoy this particular way of cooking your eggs. The bad news is that it takes about 17 minutes to cook our egg using this gadget. When you consider how quickly you can boil an egg or scramble some eggs in a pan, 17 minutes seems quite excessive.

In the end, while I do think it's fun to use the Electric Egg Scrambler and watch the needle spin around, I'm not sure if it's necessary for most people. It's just another gadget that adds variety to your cooking arsenal -- but you'd be better off just doing things the old-fashioned way. Nonetheless, this little machine was a lot of fun to use and might be worth checking out.

In conclusion, my next video will be uploaded soon. In it, I'll show you how other fun gadgets work their magic, so stay tuned! Don't forget to hit that subscribe button and follow me on social media for the latest news from the world of gadgetry.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enGreetings my lovelies. Hi, it's Emmy. Welcome back to another vintage gadget test. Today, I'll be testingthis little gem. And this is called the Electric Egg Scrambler.What you're supposed to do is take this egg and pierce it with this needle. This needle then spins around,mixing the yolk and the white together. Then you can cook it in its shellor you can crack it and use it for omelettes or any other recipe that calls for beaten eggs.So I'm not exactly sure what problem this machine is trying to solve.I guess you save yourself from cleaning a bowl when you use a fork to beat your eggs or something.But the spinning needle portion of this machine was enough to sell it to me.I had to look around a little bit for a date.This is from 1977, so this is a 40 year old contraption.And if you like these kinds of vintage gadget tests be sure to check out the playlist which includesthe HotDogger -- and it electrocutes hot dogs.That one too, was from 1977. Definitely worth checking out. All right, so let's see if the electric egg scrambler really works.All right, so....So here are our components -- very appropriate in color, this kind of sunny70's yellow. This is made by Vision 2000.A menacing kind of needle at a bend.... and this is the egg holder;a plug; and some instructions.Let's get some of those bugs out of there.This is a little dusty. There's a little bit of dust in there, but whatever.Now we're going to put this needle through here, give it a little twist,and that's all the assembly that is required.The build quality looks pretty flimsy. Now that I look at this,this is missing its dust cover, but I don't think that will effect its performance.So let's go ahead and plug in the AC adapter.It's a little bit humid, so my eggs are little sweaty.*giggles*And what we're going to do is just pierce the egg on here and push down.There's a little trigger here: when you push that down,it's supposed to spin that needle around, so let's see. All right, get my sweaty egg.Ooh! Right on the needle. Oh!Ahh!I don't want to push too hard.It's not impaling... Okay, okay, okay, I got it. I got it.I've broken the egg. Okay, so now I've broken through the eggshell. That was a little nerve-racking. And now I'm going to blend it. I think.*buzzing sound*3, 4, 5...*buzzing sound*That is crazy. It's like a pencil sharpener or something! Okay, so it works, I think.That was five seconds. Now you take the egg off,and, I don't know if you can see it, but there's a tiny little hole. No egg is leaking out.It does give instructions how to cook it, but I'm going to crack this to see how well it blended it first.Oh!Look at that!And it worked! Five seconds with a spinning needle yields a very well blended egg!No separated albumin; no chunks;very very smooth...All right, so it works. I did drip egg everywhere, but that's pretty typical.So this does give instructions on how to cook the egg within the shell, so let's go ahead and do another one.Another egg;more piercing.I have to say, this is the most nerve-wracking part right here because somehow it feels like you're going to crack the whole egg,but you just kind of get brave and do it. All right here we go, five seconds!*Buzzing*Okay, I have to say that is very satisfying. Now, we'll take the egg and we're supposed to wrap it in foil,and add one teaspoon of water.And vent it a little bit.Now we're going to place this in a 500 degree Fahrenheit oven and bake it for seventeen minutes,which is about the same time you would do for very hard cooked egg.All right, let's see how it goes. See you in seventeen minutes.So while we're waiting for our egg to cook, let's do a little experiment. We have just a normal egg here, nice and sweaty,and I wonder if I could just shake it into submission rather than, you know, impaling and beating it.I'm going to shake it -- a lot! I heard it moving a little bitbut somehow I don't think I'm going to get quite the amount ofcomplete blendednessas the electric powerallows, but let's see! I do feel it mixing.Can you see my arm flab shaking, isn't it sexy?See my arm flab shaking?Isn't it hot?Maybe 30 seconds worth of shaking -- six times more than the five second machine.So let's see how I did!Nope!That did not work at all!I definitely see some bubbles in the egg white,but the yolk is completely intact.Mother Nature is amazing. Look at that. I was shaking that as hard as I could, and I didn't even manage to break the yolk, so...answered my question. You cannot --or I cannot -- shake this into beaten submission simply by using my own brute strength.So, I have about ten seconds left on my timerHark!All right, here's my egg. I smell eggness. Ooh!Look at this!Brr, Brr, Brr. Look what happened to my egg...That was disappointing....It exploded! So this is where the hole that was made by the Egg Scrambler was.And this just burst open. There's still some water in there,so it wasn't because I let it go dry. Hmm...At any rate, since we have the egg here, let's give it a taste.So the instructions say to take the egg out of the shell, you just cut it in half and scoop it out with a spoon.So since this is already broken --I'll still cut in half and see.All right, just like the first egg I did: the egg is completely homogeneous; looks a lot like scrambled eggs.Ooh, it's pretty firm!Itadakimasu!Unh. Unh-unh.I don't really care for that. I think if I were to cook this againI would definitely reduce the amount of time that this baked. These have become very rubbery. Kind of remind me of cafeteria-style scrambled eggs. Eggs that have been sitting in a warming tray for far too long. Not necessarily dryjust very very firm and rubbery.But in terms of flavour, very similar to scrambled eggs. Of course this isn't seasoned at all -- there is no way to putsalt and pepper inside the egg -- you have to put your seasonings on top afterwards.Yeah, I think I would just probably skip this method of cooking,because it does take seventeen minutes.For the amount of time it takes to cook the egg, you might as well hard boil an egg --if you want an egg in its shell.Um, I do like how homogeneous it did beat up the eggs, but to methis is a bit superfluous in terms of an item -- I can do the same thing with a bowl and a fork.Granted, I do have to wash them after I'm finished,but I don't mind doing that. But, having said that, this gadget is very very fun. It is very satisfying to take aegg in its shell and to poke it onto this very sharp needle and then kind of buzz it around.It is a fun thing to do.Necessary? Not at all, but fun for sure.Thank you guys so much for joining me.Hope you liked that little step back into time....And do let me know in the comments if there are any other gadgets, vintageor otherwise, that you'd like to see me test out.I hope you guys enjoyed that!
