what is the black plastic egg shaped part to the right for? Is that just a handle or does it have a function?

It's just a handle. Love this egg cooker. Is probably my favorite kitchen gadget. Hope this helps.

My answer is that it is a left-opening handle. However the more important answer is this particular model allows you to make it either a right or left handle depending on which side of the door you are going to install it. It is quite simple and is explained in the owner's pamphlet included with the product. There is a pin-hole in the handle on the side of the lever. Use a small paper-clip and insert into the hole. This releases the locking mechanism that holds the lever handle to the plate. Then the lever handle can be pulled straight out. Then you can re-assemble the handle to the orientation you want, right or left. Good luck! Paul My answer is that it is a left-opening handle.

The handle is up angled as a back saver.puts more leverage where you need it.

The "handle" is a finger grip slot under the base; one on either side, at the bulge point in the base. Provides an easy grip for lifting the ball.

There is a tray at the bottom that slides out. It's not obvious in this picture because it is on the other side. Plus the top and the egg box tops open up.

I don't know why that picture shows a handle- the one I purchased was the two-button model. I believe that is what you'll get.

The handle is actually a separate piece that is V shaped with a hole at the top. That hole slips over the mirror handle and slides up and down so you can adjust the angle for viewing. The handle is made of fairly brittle plastic and is definitely the weaker part of this set. I like the magnification of the mirror section and that part is quite sturdy.

I'm not sure why this picture shows no handle. There is indeed a handle on the top.

It is strictly the handle and the lever for the latch. I used my old latch which matched up perfectly with the new one.

From just looking at this, the lid handles are different. One has a spoon attachment and the other does not. I would like to know what is or was wrong with the on/off switch...?

You are right, it is a plastic handle but it holds the cage perfectly while carrying it and you can remove it (takes 10 sec) when you get to your destination just to be on the safe side and avoid the bites :)

It is the black part (without the ridges). It just slides off the handle. It is very easy

The black handle is made of some type of plastic, however, I have no idea what it is. You'd have the ask the manufacturer.

I haven't use mine for a while now, and I'm not at home but the handle is where you should look, I believe that's where the lid seperate from the body housing
