#187-OMG, WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY MIND?

I RECENTLY LEARNED HOW TO USE Ebay AND THIS WAS ONE OF MY SECOND PURCHASE (we won't talk about my first one).  HOWEVER, I AM A BIT STYMIED.  WHAT ON EARTH IS THAT LITTLE SIDE EGG SHAPED CUP FOR?  (Oh, mannnn, was that supposed to be written "For what on earth is that little side egg shaped cup?" I hate grammar!)  I read the wee instruction booklet and it mentioned nothing about this feature.


ALERT!  ALERT! She's going into one of those weird mental states where she lets her mind fly free.  Run, hide, or read on with caution.  If you choose to read on Don' blame me if you are offended   Better take this seriously as I am about to get gross!


Is that where a little chick sits while it watches it's little siblings in egg hell? (Can't say I didn't warn you!)


I can't believe my mind just came up with that...shudder!   Oh, mannnnn!  Here comes another idea.  What would I do if I cracked one of those hard boiled eggs and found...I can't even bring myself to say it.  Would I throw up?  No, the question would be WHERE would I throw up?


Being too freaked out by what my mind just conjured up I think it best to stop my musings.  Obviously this was not the day to let my mind out of its cage!


I did learn something from this purchase (besides how to bid on Ebay).  The manufacturer suggested using their little pin to pierce the egg so it wouldn't pop during the cooking.
Funny thing is I didn't find their "pin" until I accidentally pricked my finger on it yesterday.
It is imbedded in the black tray beside one of the egg holes.


So, why don't some of you ponder the purpose of the little egg thingy on the side.  To do this you should know that the black bottom is separate from the opaque top and the cooker bottom.  In the meantime I am going to contact the manufacturers and ask them.


(NEVER-MIND: couldn't find the manufacturers on line, THEY APPARENTLY ARE IN SOUTH AMERICA).


Take a "crack" at it and see what you can come up with.  
(Oh, mannnnn, was that supposed to be written, "...and see with what you can come up"... no that still end with a preposition.  Mannnnn!  I give up!).  And, while we are at it, should I have put a period after the parenthesis???

 P. S. Since I wrote this piece, the darned thing has bellied up.  It lasted a whole 4 months.  I am never buying on E-Bay again!
