My comment:

To peck = make a hole/ to pierce.
Avant de mettre les oeufs dans un cuiseur à oeufs, il convient d'en percer une extrémité avec une fine pointe. Le petit trou évite que l'oeuf n'éclate lors de la cuisson.
La petite pointe qui sert à faire ce trou se trouve souvent sur le gobelet doseur d'eau. Je pense donc que le terme à traduire fait référence à cette pointe....
En l'absence d'autres précisions concernant ce terme (contexte) c'est la seule explication que je vois.

Sounds like Chinese English, so you have to interpret somewhat, I think they meant picker!
