I just saw the ad this morning! I, too, think it's a waste of money. If your aunt will boil the eggs, then when done and still hot, drain off all but 1-2" of water, put the lid back on and shake the heck out of the eggs, the shells will slip off 9 times out of 10. Letting them cool will cause the egg shells to "glue" back on. :) :) I keep getting suckered in to these commercials....swore the last time to NEVER get hooked again. Good luck!
