I have a cousin who's had a slight stroke and can no longer use both hands. She's our "hard boiled eggs" lady when we have picnics, get-togethers, holidays.
I saw an commercial for "eggies" the other day

and I thought this would be perfect for her. So I was wondering if they really work? Has anyone bought them? Would you buy them again?

Im anxious to hear too,I would want them if they really work.

I've wondered about them , also.

My husband saw a review on a local TV station the other day. I was hoping to find it on line to share but no luck. The reviewer was not impressed with the product. You have to spray them with a pan coating spray for them to come out like on the commercial, but the commercial doesn't show that. I searched Google and Yahoo for reviews and only found adds to buy them. Let us know if you order and find out other wise from the TV segment hubbie saw.

I'm tempted to buy them, even without reviews, for my cousin since her hard boiled eggs are her trademark thing at our dinners. She doesn't seem to ever want to bring anything else.
I've seen the commercial too and they say avail at CVS, WalGreens, etc but every time I look there they're all sold out. So somebody is buying them.
My biggest problem is I don't like buying online unless it's thru Paypal and these aren't.
I think I'll keep looking locally for another week or so before I take a chance and buy through the website.
Updated---I just found them in a online catalog that uses paypal so I ordered them. I'll let you know if they work.

I'm anxious to know too.

I haven't tried them yet either. My husband and I have a laugh every time the commercial comes on. The ad makes it sound like you couldn't slice a boiled egg unless it was cooked in Eggies. How have we lived without them for so long?!

I'll be watching for some reviews as I'm interested to hear how people like them.

I hope they'll be here by the weekend. My DDs and DGD are coming over and want to use them. :)

Cool, I'll be watching this thread to see your review.

I've seen several infomercials recently were I've been tempted to buy but so far have held out.

My DH says the ladies at work tried them and "they are a waste of money and junk."

Oh oh! Too late now, they're already on they're way. But I'll still try them.

Nadine, I like your 301 in our avatar! I have a black one!

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!

I think I saw them at Bed, Bath and Beyond yesterday.

Excellent! Don't you love them?

I've very seldom been able to peel hard boiled eggs. It always sticks like cement to the egg white. Some people can do it so it just slides off...not me. I've tried plunging then into cold water after cooking, I've tried letting them sit and cool slowly out of the water. I've tried fresh eggs, old eggs...

So let me know if they work. I wouldn't mind spraying the heck out of the containers to keep them from sticking. But I'd probably wait and buy them when I had a coupon for Bed Bath and Beyond.

If they work I'm going to buy some for me too. I'm supposed to be eating Egg Beaters and it would be nice to make a type of hard boiled eggs with it.

Well, another person who has watched the ad with her husband and he laughs everytime. But, let me tell you, he has had to eat his words on some of the things I have bought off tv and really were useful. Hope these work for you. Waiting to hear.....

Update (finally)....
The eggies arrived during the week and we played with them yesterday.
The directions say fill a pot 2/3 full of water (or deep enough for the "eggies" to float), coat the inside of the "eggies" with cooking spray (we used butter), filled one with Egg Beaters and one with a whole egg, put into not-yet-boiling water, started timing after boiling started.
Well...we must have filled the one with Egg Beaters a little too full and it leaked slightly but not badly. Created the egg foamy thing in the water.
Then about 1/2 way thru the cooking we heard a muffled underwater "poof"...and noticed a little more egg beater liquid pushed out of it.
So maybe we didn't screw it shut tight enough either.
We didn't notice anything with the real egg.
The cooking chart says "if you're boiling only egg whites they'll be done in 2 -3 mins". And since Egg Beaters is made from egg whites, coloring, and powdered milk, we cooked them according to the "egg whites only".
But when we opened it, it wasn't totally cooked. Next time we'll know to cook it longer.
The real egg DID cook but it stuck a little to the insides of the plastic. Next time I'll use the cooking spray instead of butter.
I didn't notice any plastic taste to it either.
So I say thumbs up despite user error.

Once I went to the website & watched 5 seconds of the commercial, I remembered this.

I will just stick to my boil it for 10 minutes, then drain the eggs & put them into an ice bath for a couple of methods.

for boiling, I like my Henrietta: http://www.amazon.com/Maverick-SEC-2...2122640&sr=8-6

I wouldn't bother with them either except my cousin wanted them since her stroke and, since I'm supposed to not eat real eggs anymore BUT love hard boiled eggs, I think they'll come in handy.
Love you Henrietta!

"Eggies", they crack me up.

With all due respect people, this is nothing new. This cooking technique has existed for over a hundred years. It is called egg coddling. Egg coddlers are cookware that are used to coddle eggs and have existed for a very long time. Traditionally, the egg is cooked to a soft boiled status, but are cooked to hardboiled status as well as adding herbs, spices, cheese, meat or other ingredients.

Egg coddlers are traditionally made of china or other similar material with a metal lid. They are placed in a pan of water and the water is brought to a boil on the stove or in the oven. They are also placed in a dry pan with water already at boiling point poured over them and allowed to sit until cooked to the desired doneness.

yeap my dh bought them and yes u have to spray them every time and they come out with the flat bottoms , think he is pretty pleased with his purchase , takes less time to spray than to peel. I used them and forgot to spray we just used a butter knife and when around the outside of the egg and they came out..... would we buy them again , probably

saw them at the dollar store in ky

I just bought my daughter some yesterday. She tried it but forgot to spray them first so they did stick. But she seemed to be happy enough with them. She said she did something else wrong and they ended up cooking upside down. Now I wish I would have listened better. But my DGD gobbled them up!

A local tv station does a try it before you buy it segment and the other day it was the eggies...looked like a lot of extra steps, a mess and results were not pleasing. The person that was trying it gave it 2 thumbs down.....

Those are simply a version of egg coddlers, which the Brits have had for a century or so. I just gave mine away, since I have not used them lately. Mine were from an English ceramics co. Yes, they do work. I used them primarily for flavored eggs, adding herbs and spices.

I think the think that makes the eggies popular is that you can do it in the microwave, wash them out and throw them in a drawer when done.

I wouldn't put fancy egg coddlers are in the microwave or thrown them in a drawer, where do you find them anyway?

My DH wants to buy them to make deviled eggs but I told him mo. How do you make the deviled eggs shown in the commercials? Do you have to dig the yolk out after it cooks in the Eggies? or are they cooked separately? However it's done it just looks like more work, and more dishes to wash. Whenever I boil eggs some shells come off easy and some don't, but it's never bothered me all that much. I think it depends on how fresh the eggs are and I find the fresher ones are the more difficult. Anyway, the eggs that come out the shells nice and pretty are used for deviled eggs, the others wind up as egg salad.

We found them at Walmart

I bought them at Walmart yesterday and I'm taking them right back today. They are a complete waste of money and time. Each Eggie has 4 parts that have to be oiled and assembled. A jumbo egg might come out looking like an egg, but anything smaller is not shaped right for deviled eggs. Several of them leaked in the pan even though I was careful putting them together, and there are crevasses inside the lids that had to be cleaned with a toothpick. Six eggs involved about 15 minutes of hands-on work, and I never have that much trouble peeling eggs. If you really don't want to peel eggs, just poach them. It's easier by far than this with very similar results. Eggies will turn up cheap at every garage sale before long.

I have them and I would never buy them again. They are so hard to clean and I literally had to take a hard brush to get in all of the crevices. Then I tried to put them in a mesh bag and put them in my diswasher. Worked o.k., but a lot of trouble to go to for a hard boiled egg. I think it is just as easy to do it the old fashioned way.
