Eggies Deluxe Plastic Egg Cooker Set - Never Peel a Hard-Boiled Egg Again!

Duplicitous Schemes By As Seen On TV
Peeling eggs has always been problematic for me. I have these huge ogre-like fingers that are not nearly dexterous enough to peel away the hardened shell without tearing chunks of nourishing white membrane off. Patience may be a virtue, but for me, hard-boiled eggs test the limits of such a novel saintly platitude. Enter Eggies. The Godsend, the product that will afford me the luxury to just cook and eat -- nothing to it. Stripping away the burdensome peeling process. Right? The commercial celebrates the product's ease of use. You just crack an egg into a no slip container, cook, cool then slip the egg out, and pleasurably munch on some (aborted first trimester chicken fetus) primal protein goodness. Wrong...

Firstly, Eggies makes the fallacious claim that the containers are no stick. Yet the directions recommend you spray the interior with no stick cooking spray or dab it with olive oil. To be safe. Secondly, the actual product is assembled like a plumber's union fitting,...

Sorry I bought them
Let me say first that I did not buy them at Amazon, but the review is the same.

Way way too time consuming. I found the whites had an odd texture and tasted kind of rubbery. The cooking time was much longer than conventional boiling in shell. Mine came out flat on top, not oval, so I couldn't make nice looking deviled eggs from them.

If I could give this a 0 I would, so it gets a reluctant 1

All reviewers are not the same
I read over many reviews for this product and bought a set for myself (@ $5.00 for a set of six).

True to what I had read (among the 5 star reviews) is if you follow the written directions that come with the product, the eggs come out fine, eggs are a bit shaped differently than one may be used to but nevertheless without a shell to peel. (And when eating a deviled egg, my eyes can not taste and my mouth told me they tasted great).

I looked at the picture several times on the box and it does show an egg that is more cone shaped than oval. The cone shape also is a conversation piece during a dinner party. Guess what? Didn't make a difference: I made great deviled eggs.

So this guy who loves deviled eggs will use this system for two reasons: one, it works, and two, because it is fun to use and the amount of time to use is not that much more than peeling egg shells; and definitely a lot less messier than peeling shells.

I am big believer of...
