One vantage of being apoultry farmeris that acquaintance and family generously produce any gizmo , gizmo and thingumajig remotely related to eggs with intent to give them to me as gifts . Because I do the precise same affair , my cabinets hold a wide variety of testicle institution . Late spring saw a plethora of young contraptions come into my kitchen , so I recently tested some of these new miniature .
The Egg Slide
The Egg Slide caught my eye immediately with its grandiloquent , curling calamitous - conducting wire design . When sorting through our hens ’ day-to-day efforts , I split out the imperfect bollock , which I keep for our family . These end up cluttering the counter , will me with little space to prepare meal . The Egg Slide not only keeps these eggs — and my replication — tidy , but the gadget also contribute an appealing artistic pinch to my kitchen . It ’s also fun : When I take an egg from the bottom of the chute , all the other eggs spill end over final stage to fill in the gap . The only negative so far ? Sometimes the testis land pointy side up , which is not the best way to store nut , and sometimes the egg fall so quick that they hit another and crack . That has happened only a few times , fortunately , and I ’ve just used the crack up egg alternatively of the one I ’d just assume .
The Egg Ring
My boy Bryce sawthisin a supermarket and insist we bribe it . I ’m still not certain whether it ’s because he desire perfectly around fry eggs to top his English muffins or because the gadget features a cunning smile egg on it . Whatever the intellect , the anchor ring came home with us . Even though it is made of silicone and I have baked with silicone molds , I was still a little concerned about whether the orchis ring would withstand a frying pan ’s direct heating . No need to worry : It barely warm up , even after cooking six testis in a dustup . The ring not only kept its frame but also prevent any egg from leaking outside the closed chain . We ended up with a half - dozen beautiful , rotary eggs and a ready to hand kitchen pecker that wash out easy after enjoyment .
The Egg Carrier
A vulgar complaint among my kid is that someone ( namely me ) has n’t take out the eggs gather in the beginning in the day from the assemblage basket . I bought a second basket to appease the Mass , but that promptly became two baskets that I demand to unpack . Enter the Egg Carrier , which a relative go through at a farm - supply store and commit my way . Made of sturdy determine plastic , the Egg Carrier holds 24 bollock in individual holler . Because the bollock are spread out out in one layer , the carrier is bulky and fairly embarrassing to manage — which is a positive , because it makes me put down it the second it come in . The chief negative is that the Egg Carrier does n’t put in well because of its mass . It does safely cradle eggs , however , so there ’s no accidental breaking from eggs piled on top of each other .
The Egg Poacher
My boy Jaeson is one of the world ’s pickiest eater . He does exhaust eggs , however . In fact , he adores bollock . jazz this , a congeneric sent an Egg Poacher just for Jaeson . Trying to teach my 15 twelvemonth sure-enough to properly poach eggs — simmer water with bloodless vinegar , whisk to produce a vortex , overlook an orchis in without break the yolk , fish it out before it overcooks — resulted in a frustrated scholarly person , an annoyed instructor and a mound of messed - up bollock . With the Egg Poacher , Jaeson just cracks an testicle , rain cats and dogs it into one of the recesses in the poacher , put on the chapeau and nuke it . So soft , even my child could do it ! The Egg Poacher is dishwasher secure , too , so the cleanup is well-situated . It might not produce poached egg to my liking , but it keeps my teen fed and self - reliant .
The Egg Peeler
I ’m not quite sure which of my protagonist brought me the Egg Peeler , but this gadget arrived shortly after I posted a bitch on social medium about my impatience crush more than a twelve eggs to make egg salad . The Egg Peeler was hypothesise to make my life history easier : Place the hard - boiled testicle in the central sleeping accommodation , then press out down on the accordian - like top . Compressing this squeezy part get enough emphatic air to literally blow the eggshell justly off the testicle . Voila — a perfectly peel nut in seconds .
Well , yes , but only if it had form correctly . I sacrifice eight hard - cooked eggs to this gadget . Not one of them emerged fully peeled , or pare at all . I did get jam eggs , as if someone had step on a hard - churn orchis . Not exactly what I was going for . It did amuse the boys , however , which result in the sacrifice of about another dozen eggs . Waste not , want not : The smushed eggs became a goody for our mint .
