Egglette Advisory

I purchased a set of four Egglettes from Amazon. They worked great, just like on TV. I ordered another set of six. Terrible. The difference? The second set had a pattern of holes in their tops, much like a salt shaker that let water in and ruined the process. The holes only covered about one fourth of the top, but that was enough. Moral of the story, buy the ones without the many holes.

    Seems a lot of fuss to avoid peeling an egg?


    Agree. bring eggs to a boil, 11 minutes later, turn off the heat and let them sit (covered) until water loses its extreme heat. Learned from Grandma & Mom.
  • We all know how to boil eggs. The difficulty is in the peeling. I have tried various additives and aging the eggs without much improvement. The Egglettes simplify the process. I am an engineer and like things that work and work about the same way every time. Peeling eggs is always a gamble for me. I know that I can now prepare pretty hard boiled eggs every time, No more missing chunks where the shell stuck.

    I am surprised at the number of folks who are not familiar with them. They are advertised heavily on the classic television channels. Maybe I watch too many reruns of "Gunsmoke" and "Perry Mason"?

    Ok it is a "General RVing issue because many RVers like to EAT. and many campgrounds do things like POT LUCK dinners and a common "Dish to pass" is deviled eggs.

    An Egglet is a silicon "Egg shell" you take a raw egg, break it into the "Egglet" put the top on and drop it in a pan of boiling water.. Time it and then remove the egglet, and "Decant" (yes that is the word) a perfect hard boiled egg suitable for Egg Salad, or Cheif's Salad or Deviled eggs or ______ No pealing needed. Heavily advertised on TV.

    Why they would put holes in 'em I don't know.


    You trying to defend having this in the wrong forum...what a douche.
  • I cook my eggs in an Instant Pot for 4 minutes, soft boil 2 minutes. The eggs are so easy to peel.

    Oh! I have an Instant Pot. I'll have to try this. Thanks.
  • My cheapo electric egg cooker/steamer thing gives me consistent results every time. Eggs peel better than any other method I've tried.
