what is the best way to open a quail egg? mine always end up being mangled........

I use a really sharp paring knife a slight sawing motion works for me

I bop them gently with a sharp knife, then pierce it with the tip of the knife to get through the membrane.

There are also special scissors sold just for opening quail eggs. A friend of mine has a pair and says they work very well. She ordered them somewhere online.

My wife just smacks them on the side of the griddle.

when i give them to my dogs they roll them around on the floor for awhile and lick the egg that drips out ( i crack the eggs 1st) then after they have made a nice sticky mess with egg and all they chew them up and swallow them down...hehehehe

I get a kick out of watching the dog chomp down & egg oozing out the sides of the mouth.

Crunchy outside ...gooey center

More than likely that link would be similar to what she has - I haven't actually seen her set. I was thinking of ordering one, though...

I love these! I use them daily, and they work very well. I'd reccomend them if you have more than 10 quail eggs you have to crack!
