Le Creuset Egg Cup

The soft boiled egg finally gets a throne.

A small piece of enameled stoneware that makes a five minute breakfast look considered. The dense stoneware body resists the cracking and crazing that ruins cheaper egg cups, the exterior enamel shrugs off stains and the scrape of a metal spoon, and the glazed interior wipes clean in a second. It also earns its keep once a year holding decorated Easter eggs.

• Dense stoneware blocks moisture absorption to prevent cracking, crazing and rippling
• Impermeable exterior enamel resists stains and scratches from metal utensils
• Nearly nonstick glazed interior releases food for quick cleanup
• Dishwasher safe
• Measures 2 in wide by 2 1/4 in high
