    $\begingroup$ @Brandon_J - I think so. The 'three pieces' of the title applies to the objects and these share a common property. I'll expand the hint. Thank you for the bountification! $\endgroup$

I think I've got the answers

  1. Cram. No Crete lust.

    This is an anagram of Crust, Mantle, Core so the answer is Earth

  2. She. Who Kyle? Till.

    This is an anagram of Shell, White, Yolk so the answer is Egg

  3. Out! I'm dinner elder.

    This is an anagram of Outer, Middle, Inner so the answer is Ear

Hints

Each answer is associated to a triplet with the general spatial ordering of outside, middle, inside. Each clue is arranged as an anagram. Also, as pointed out by jafe in the comments, the letters of each outer part are on the outside of the clue, this makes finding the anagram a bit easier.
