What en of egg gets pierced, the pointy end or the more rounded end?

The more rounded end gets pierced, and put the pierced end up in the egg holder. Be careful not to break too much shell when you do the piercing or the white will come out when the egg cooks and make a mess. Be sure and clean off any white that gets on the egg holder during cooking before doing another batch or the white will really get cooked on and be hard to clean off.

I punctured the rounded end. Placed it with rounded end up and the eggs came out perfectly.

The pointy end. In Germany you can buy egg piercers for piercing eggs before you boil them in a pan. The flatter end has more chances of cracking.

I use store bought and they are very easy to pierce. You shouldn't have any trouble with homegrown eggs.

It is the shape/style of the french tip. For example, this is a chevron french tip style http://www.eyecandynails.co.uk/img/Nails/2/9080500556_2455cb98b4_b.jpg

It is not a rounded tip. The sides are flat with a tip at the edge, if that makes sense!

Yes..there is a pin on the base that you pierce the egg with it has a red almost plastic covering and you have to pierce the egg very lightly which I found out the hard way

It is egg shape with max of 1/2" by 1/4". Have no problem swallowing. Wonderful product!

The picture shows a rounded end but what I received was curved and pointy more like a flame.

The piercing pin sits flush on a pad. It order to operate, you push the egg down on it. It should be safe.

If you are asking about the shape of the loops on the ends of the string, it simply is how the string attaches to the bow. If you are asking why it is in an "S" shape, that is simply how they arranged it for you to see. The string is pulled straight while attached to a bow.

The piercing tool is to prick eggs on the end when you plan to have a hard boiled egg. Some say it keeps the shell from cracking or that it helps the bottom stay round rather than flat. I don't prick mine and they are fine. I'm not making deviled eggs that have to look good. Here's a couple of explanations:https://www.exploratorium.edu/cooking/eggs/explore-text.htmlhttp://hencam.com/henblog/2011/03/hard-boiled-egg-myths/

Yes, they have pointed ends. At least the ones I have are pointed. The end of the point, however, is dull- not sharp so it wouldn't cut you, but one end is pointed. I hope this makes sense.

As we all know, eggshells do not expand like balloons, so when you follow the Boiley instructions to use the included pin to poke a hole through the large end of the eggshell before cooking the egg, the pressure that builds up during cooking can escape through the pin hole instead of building up inside the shell and causing the egg to explode. That's how it works.

It is rounded, and I like it the best out of 2 others that I tried. It is a little flexible and light so it's easy to gauge how thin you can slice. When we were in Norway I noticed what they use, so went looking and found this one! I am very satisfied with this slicer"

They cracked a bit but the egg shell remained intact. It is important to poke a hole in the big end. I do hold the egg over the sink when I poke a hole in it, better safe than sorry.

On a previous egg cooker I had, they provided a piercing tool to prevent the eggs from cracking or exploding while cooking. On this model I find no significant difference whether I pierce the eggs or not. Some open whether pierced or not, so I have stopped piercing and occasionally one opens and some of it's contents goes to the bottom of the cooker. But it is relatively infrequent, so it is not a major nuisance. I agree that the instruction booklet is somewhat lacking in certain details.
