The egg spinner was a cute idea and I was looking forward to it working. The directions come in a foreign language, possibly Chinese. But you just need to pull the string and spin the egg. I spun different eggs, the most was nine times. None of the yolks broke. Plus it wouldn't rewind and my husband had to take it apart and put it back together again just to have it not work again after one or two spins. So I do not recommend this product at all!
