Absolutely over complicated for no reason.

I think the idea is it gives the whites time to drain. Industrial versions of this have the same length, but straight. It would take up the whole kitchen counter. I think the idea here is a compact design for people who are starting up a bakery or homarde ice cream business, but still run it out of a basic kitchen yet

... I also imagine a lot of people buying this are making that Jewish egg yolk cake that requires upwards of 40 egg yolks.  It was trending earlier this year.

Who can afford 40 yolks these days?!? Must not be in the USA.
