Come Easter, eggs become the belle of the ball—or at least, the focal point of all-out hunts, the medium for questionable artwork and the decor of choice.

But real egg enthusiasts know they deserve year-round love and proper (not to mention, straight-up fun) gear dedicated to them. For starters, they belong in an emerald-colored crate not that flimsy cardboard.

And that perfectly poached egg? It deserves a seat of its own. Read on to see what we're talking about (and for the rest of our favorite egg gadgets).

Peleg Design YolkFish Egg Separator

Sure, you could follow that hack that's all over Internet and use an empty water bottle to slurp out yolks. Or you could use an adorable orange fish.

The Perfect Egg

The ladies behind Spoon Fork Bacon do a whole lot right, so follow their lead on everything eggs. The recipes are divided into four sections (morning, afternoon, night and sweets), and we're thinking a perfect egg day includes baked Egg Clouds for breakfast, avgolemono soup for lunch, poached yolk-stuffed ravioli for dinner and Brazilian custard to top it all off.

Cuispro Egg Poachers

Kudos to the poaching pros. For those who are intimidated by the process (swirling? vinegar? huh?), ease in with a nest that sits right on the edge to make for simple cooking and scooping.

Rösle Egg Topper

After you made the effort to buy egg cups just for the occasion, you can't half-ass the final presentation. Clip off the top of the egg in one straight, sleek movement with a spring-loaded (yes, spring-loaded) slicer.

Alessi Le Nid Ramequin

Making this sort of investment in a singular-egg serving dish may seem ridiculous (and maybe it is), but it's at least a little bit practical: You can poach the egg in the ramekin before propping it up on the most delightful (and only) example of kitchen gear-meets-dollhouse furniture.

World Market Retro Beater

Give your whisk the morning off and reach for an old-school crank handle instead. Who knows, it might just replace that whisk entirely.
