Egg cracker for guinea eggs

[Wild Chickens]

The shells on guinea eggs are so hard and thick that it is difficult not to get pieces of egg shell in the pan. I saw several different brands and designs for "egg crackers" on Amazon, but I wonder how they would perform on guinea eggs. Anybody have any experience with any of them?

They look pretty good. Granted- I’ve never used quail eggs, but from what I can see, it looks like it would work.

Well, for future reference: I ordered a cracker and tried it. They do not work on guinea eggs because the egg is too small. They will only work on a large or jumbo size chicken egg. The cracker goes completely over a guinea egg instead of resting on top of it.

Eureka! I found the solution. The one that works is shaped like a triangle with a knob on top. This cracker tool does a good job of cutting a circle in the shell, which avoids crushing it and getting bits of shell in with the egg white. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GLPBSZT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8
