I use a very small pair of Mustache scissors, or cuticle scissors that have a nice sharp point, then poke it in the direction lengthwise of the egg, then cut very shallowly along the top, being VERY careful to keep the bottom blade just below the surface of the eggs.

I'm sure many other's may use a different method, but this has always worked just fine, and I've never had an incident in many years of doing it.

I cut the eggs on these after a couple days of the first ones pipping as well

And a hypo Lav to keep with the corn theme
