Eggies

I thought this product seemed like a good idea...until I tried it!

I found this item on Yardsellr.com. It's a website that is basically a yard sale on the Internet. I'm hooked on that site! This is one of three items I've purchased from that site since I joined about 2 weeks ago! I got a great deal on this! I only paid $2.46. Eggies is a hard boiled egg system. Check out the info video here Eggies

These are the parts for one egg container.
So multiply this times 6.

You pour the egg into each container.

One large egg inside.

This product is suppose to make it easier to make hard boiled eggs because there's no eggshells to peel. But preparing and cleaning the 6 egg containers is a bit of a pain. I oiled mine, but the eggs still stuck to the container! I was able to loosen them with a tiny baby spoon. It took 17 minutes to cook but I think I would cook them a little longer because they weren't cooked completely through. Maybe I'll add another minute next time. I usually cook my hard boiled eggs for 13 minutes when I make them the traditional way.

Place into boiling water

They looked cute floating around in the pot!





They need to cool off before opening because there's a little bit of hot water inside each egg container that spills out as soon as you un-screw it...yes, that's what happened to me.

After they are cooked

I like my eggs cooked completely through, not like this one in the picture.

Slightly under cooked after 17 min.

 

Egg gets stuck in the threading and on these rubber rings,
making it difficult to clean all the pieces.

And I'm just not too thrilled about the shape! I like full oval shaped hard boiled eggs!

I'm just glad I didn't pay more than $3.00 for this.
Does anyone out there want to buy a slightly used Eggies for $2.46 plus shipping?
