New Product Development

People try to do too much to start a business. You can start with anything, what you've got and where you are.

Now here is a neat idea with a problem.  But let me preface by saying this is not for you if you are not passionate abut cooking.  if you are, then good.

But had you not waited, and already started, then this is the kind of thing you come across and say, "wow, I can work on that!"

To wit:

Instructions:

1. Cover the eggs with water and boil on low for about 12 minutes
2. Cool the eggs by placing them in cold water with 1 teaspoon of baking soda and ice. The baking soda raises the pH level and reduces adherence. If you choose not to use baking soda, be sure to move the eggs into cold water with plenty of ice immediately after boiling
3. Crack the top of the egg and remove a small piece
4. Crack the bottom (wide end) of the egg and remove a small piece
5. Hold the egg in your hand and blow vigorously into the narrow end of the egg, which will expel it out the wide end

Great idea.  But do you see the problem?  It is a great way to pass your cold around, or worse.  So a now kitchen gadget, which would answer the specialty store buyer's question #1 at every trade show, would be an "egg blower."  Instead of blowing with your mouth on one end of the egg, a rubber balloon that fits in your hand with a opening on one side (think of the rubber ball on the end of a turkey baster) to put on one side of the hard boiled egg would be an improvement on the idea.

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.
