Anyone tried Eggies??
« on: October 01, 2011, 01:32:27 am »
Has anyone bought the totally awesome invention Eggies??
I totally love the idea.
They are like the Jello Eggs containers that Kraft came out with years ago.

Problem I just had with this product.
The eggs do not come out of the plastic shells smooth.
They are bubbled up *that is what it looks like.
These boil inside the shells like the reg egg shell.
Problem being... deviled eggs.. NO good. the texture and look is horrible.
Egg salad. Fine, because you chop them up.

Has anyone come up with how to boil this with out that happening.??

They are plastic egg containers that you can crack an egg into... and place in a pot of water to boil just like you would boil eggs.  Only difference is.. NO PEELING shells!!!  You just open up the plastic egg.. and taaa daaa there is the hard boiled egg!! 

Infa-mercial...   lol...

Finally in Wal-Mart

I was curious about these too.  Glad to hear they are at Walmart - no shipping and easy to return!!!  I will look for them there to try.  My best solution to boiled eggs is buying them at the grocery store already boiled.  Egglands Best has them usually on the top shelf area of the eggs and egg whites etc.  Also there are other brands and good deals.  I travel a lot with work and there are a couple stores that when I get to town I go to the store first thing and purchase the boiled eggs and chobani yogurt.

Saw  a review of this product on a consumer program on TV.  It scored an F.  Does not work.  Testers tried it 10 or more times and never could get the product to work.

No gadget needed here. The secret to good, easy to peel hard-boiled eggs is always to use FRESH eggs. Simply put them in a covered pan with enough water to cover them, bring to boil, turn off the burner and let them sit  for 20 min. After 20 min. run cold water over them to cool the eggs. There is an air pocket at the large end of the egg & that is where to start peeling; shell comes off easily. AND no rubbery hard boiled eggs.

I saw their ad in the TV but I love to broil the egg in its natural shell and I don't find it hard to peel it. I have a technique in peeling the eggs
it takes you 2 times to test your water some water you need to add a little salt to it and some water doesn't need that
I put the egg with enough cold water to cover it and once it reach the boiling point I use the timer and leave them boiling for 5-6 minutes then I take them out run some cold water on it for a few second then take it out and leave it to dry and when its dry you can peel it so easy and the egg maintain its shape. I don't like to leave them in cold water too much because I love the egg to be hot not cold or just warm. but the most important thing is to leave it to dry.

I am still skeptical about cooking food in silicone. Does anyone know if it seeps into the food?
