well, there are some people who probably can't peel eggs at all(say like an amputee who's missing a hand/arm or people with severe nerve damage that causes shaking) before this they wouldn't even be able to do eggs without the aid of someone else. Now they can!
TreClaire if one doesn't have the dexterity to peel an egg how in the hell would they have the dexterity to actually use this device? honestly lol. your heart is in the right place but c'mon 😂
they easily could though? I'm honestly not sure why you think it'd be so hard? Will it take a good bit of time, yeah sure but it's hardly impossible. All you really need to do is stand the base up and crack and egg into it, both of those things can easily be done one-handed or with a shaky hand. You can boil a pot of water with one hand...especially if your stove is close enough to your sink. You can break the air seal with just one hand and you can bang the thing on the counter till the egg pops out with one hand. The hardest part of this product for a one-handed/shakey handed person would be twisting and untwisting the lid but that's totally do-able. Go grab a bottle or something in your kitchen and try to open it with just one hand...it'll wobble some but you'll get there and if you did it enough you'd totally get to the point where it won't wobble at all. Now lets compare that to trying to peel an egg??? THAT'S impossible with one hand. The egg would roll around forever.
Sakura - because they know there is a sucker born every minute that will buy anything that's on some cheesy infomercial only to use it once and then have it clutter up their kitchen for 5 years. I don't mean Emmy, you know what I mean.
Some mother in laws are just terrible gift givers, that's all. My mother got my brother's wife a closet clothes hanger because it had a pretty pattern on it, and a pack of plastic to go cups... My mother loves her to death. I said, mum... you're the worst gift giver on earth. :D
Sarah K My mother in law once gave me a bright pink scarf and a nail care kit. The only problem is that i had already a nail kit and i never wear pink hahaha
I use these to prepare eggs for each meal. About your comment about sociopaths, it made me very angry. People who say things like that deserve what ever happens to them. Like a slow death or maybe tied to RR tracks. Yes, time to think about what you said and be sorry as you wait for a train. The voice of SARGON coming from my wrist watch says to make you suffer. SARGON I swear I'll not rest until he's crying in pain. Yes SARGON, I'll not overcook the meat. You're sure he has excellent taste? Oh, I get it, taste. SARGON, you're a laugh a minute.
I watched this with interest because i got my 'eggies' pack from a second hand shop, there were no instruction. So when it failed, I thought I had done it wrong. I see now. They just aren't that great. Fab Review. Many Thanks ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Follow the rule KISS, an egg comes in its own cooking container that is quite easy to remove. I could probably remove the shell quicker than it took to get the egg from the container.
Emmy I cannot tell you how nice and comforting your videos are. I’ve been having such a hard stressful time lately and watching your videos has calmed me down and made me feel so much better when I feel like I’m about to burst. I know you hear this all the time, but thank you! You really are amazing
I admit I bought one of those at Walmart a few years ago. It was harder than just boiling the eggs the regular way, plus the eggies were hard to wash properly. So extra things to wash and half the time I would have to re-scrub them. I got rid of them.
poke a tiny hole in the bottom of the egg before boiling. makes it easy to shell them and doesn't leak out due to air pressure/vs water pressure. When you do the cold water rinse the cold water shoots up between the hot shell and the membrane and helps it seperate.
I once tried this, because I was really interested in this product. My mom added bacon bits to the Eggie and I thought it was delicious, and I think you should've tried it as well with this test. Alas, my mom didn't think the item was very convenient and believed it wasn't healthy to cook with plastic.
I'm going to start off by saying I never found peeling hard boiled eggs difficult. Recently someone convinced me to try hard boiled eggs in my pressure cooker because it makes them easy to peel. I was actually shocked at how easily the egg slipped out of the shell.
We use an old Breville egg cooker in our house that uses very little water at all. It has a small sharp spike in the middle of the egg holder that you use to punch a tiny hole in the larger end of the egg, you then put them in the holder up to 7 with that hole facing up and the narrower end down. It uses just a few millimeters of water at the bottom. For hard boiled you fill the cup piece built into the center of the lid right up. Only two thirds full for soft boiled. Turn it on, stick the lid on and it lets out a loud buzz when the eggs are ready. We then put the eggs wile still hot into a bowl of cold water and then with the palms of our hands roll them on a wooden bread board with just enough pressure to crack the shell as we roll, then peel it off.
I tend to prefer an egg cooker because there is no washing up to do afterwards. just pop in your eggs pop in some water turn in on and wait for it to beep to let you know they are cooked.
They have silicone ones. Much nicer, and making a "scrambled" egg you can scarf in the car on the way to work is nice. Of course, the natural way you're boiling the egg in a chemical, surrounded by chemicals.
I've found that adding eggs directly into the boiling water instead of letting the eggs come up to a boil with the water makes the shells easy to come off. I was having trouble for a while, but ever since I found this trick, I haven't had problems. The only time it doesn't work is if you add too many eggs in a pot too small, driving the temp of the boiling water way down. Bringing them up to room temp in warm water probably helps with this. For perfect boiled eggs that aren't overcooked, I put them in the boiling water, let them go a couple minutes, then turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let them sit in the cooling water for about twelve to fourteen minutes. After that, I put the eggs into an ice bath to stop the cooking. No grey yolks for me!
Omg! I used to watch your channel when you tried the food from different countries that people sent you! This channel is HUGE now! Really happy to see how popular you've become! :D
The first thing I want to say is I am so happy with the way you go about these products. I love how you LOOK at the instructions and follow them it gives a pretty unique experience that I want and is nearly impossible to find. I've seen so many videos where the guys full on TOSS the instructions away and then just try to 'figure it out themselves' and when they can't they just deem it as failed product. I also enjoy your unbiased nature when it comes to these certain products and how you really go through it and add in your own opinion in a way that is very intelligent and reasonable. I really like the way you do your reviews in comparison to the videos out there where they shove the product down your throat for marketing or other videos where the person's biased opinions blind them to giving the product a fair chance.
lufitueerb The point of it isn't for every member of society, but for people who might have tremors, arthritis, or anything limiting motion and doing small task.
Larkyn Embry But it uses so many more steps than just boiling an egg...and you have to screw and unscrew the container and get the egg out...not very good for people with limitations. just useless crap
Reminds me of an old fashioned egg coddler, which is kind of the same principle where you crack an egg in a porcelain container, put the lid on then place it in boiling water. They're considered antiques now.
The Eggie seems like a wannabe ceramic egg coddler. This used to be my favorite way to make eggs on the weekend. Coat the coddler with butter and then put chives or cheese or any other seasonings on top and enjoy the pure delicious egg happiness.
I hate myself for only appreciating your videos now. Where the hell am i the whole timmeee?!? Omg im so obsessed watching you. I am still fascinated and entertained watching you boil, peel, and eat hard boiled eggs hahahaha.
You can take the eggs, put them right into a pan with cold water, then bring it up to a boil. Once you bring it to a boil, leave the pan on the burner with the lid on, and turn the stove off. Let it set for 10 minutes and you get perfect hard boiled eggs each time with no gray ring. That's how my grandma did it, and how I do it. Works every time.
I've had a box of these in my kitchen for easily over 3yrs & I've not ever opened it. hubby thought he was doing something sweet for me when he bought it. I still love him for trying
BAHAHAHA...my father-in-law bought these for us. I just shoved them in the junk drawer, my husband found them & INSISTED on trying them! There was cooked egg white floating in the water, the eggs were stuck like gorilla glue to the inside of the plastic, & he said they tasted weird & were unevenly cooked. He threw them away, Eggies & all, & declared that I am still in charge of boiling & peeling the eggs in our house. Aaaah, marital bliss🤣🤣🤣
Why does everyone over think boiling eggs? The classic methos is best, start the eggs in a pot of cold water, they will warm us as the water does, once the water beings to boil let it go for 4-6 minutes depending on egg size and desired doneness. Thake pot to the sink, pour out hot water and fill with cold water and let stand, done.
We have an egg cooker 😂 it makes the perfect eggs unless you want "dippy" eggs. (a dippy egg is a English term, I don't know if it's used through all of Britain so I'm just gonna say English for now) it's basically a boiled egg with a runny yolk for dipping toast in. It fails at the dippy egg and you end up with a snotty egg of you don't leave it in its shell for a minute or two after cooking.
Emmy, Your instructions say 15 to 17 minutes. But, like you, I don’t like cooking in plastic. I’ll still boil them in the shell. PS. My husband & I both enjoy your tutorials. You make it fun & make us smile! Keep up the good work!!
Watched this video since I got a set from yard sale.. Did not work for me either. So after 60 + years of making eggs and not cooking them well, I tried Emma's way and WOW , I now get perfect eggs all the time. Thank you Emmy for opening my eyes or brain for great eggs.
So that the egg shells don't burst while boiling, I use a tack to make a tiny hole at one end of the egg. There's a pointier end and a blunter end, so poke the hole in the blunter end. That end has a small chamber between the shell and inner membrane. Poking a tiny hole here will give the egg a place to release the pressure inside that's created by the cooking. Be careful to poke only the hard shell and not break the inner membrane. You'll see tiny bubbles coming from the hole once it's cooking, and the shell won't bust cz is got that pressure release. After cooking, give it an ice water bath for a few minutes, drain the water, shake the pan to crack and loosen the shells, then peel under gently running water. If the egg is not fresh, this works even better because the air chamber gets bigger over time.
Giggles That's how I make mine, but I like my eggs cold so I just cool in the water then put them in the frig with a big X so my Mr will know these are hard boiled. 😉
The Eggie video was right on. And, for every 1 Eggie, there are 6 pieces to clean by hand, preferably with a nylon bristle brush to get into the grooves inside and out. Not impressed. Into the give-away box they go.
Hey, we have a set of these eggies someone gave us as a gift. We've never used them because it just seem simpler to hard boil a regular egg but I was super excited to see you give these a try.
Guys you gotta remember that all these "lazy people" inventions that are as seen on tv are usually made with disabled people in mind to make their lives easier. like for the eggie it would be for people who have a hard time holding smaller more delicate objects like an egg or have not so good motor skills and can't peel an egg. don't be rude guys.
Thank you, yes this is the exact reason I bought one, the one I got from Wal Mart is a little different than the one Emmy is showing. I really like the one I have, and it is easier for me, as I can no longer hold small objects and peeling eggs is impossible for me.
Usually a good point but this particular device is still the size of an egg and you still have to assemble and disassemble as well as coat and clean this small object! Does not actually make it easier in any respect.
Its sad seeing people who don't normally see a lot of white eggs say they are bleached. Don't you notice that not every chicken lays the same egg? White chickens lay these white eggs, that's why they seem bleached. And please don't fight me about me, because I learned enough from doing my own research and you might just benefit yourself by doing your own research on farm animals.
Kathy Niebylski people are so far removed from their food source. Like I have over a dozen chicken breeds and have eggs ranging from pure white to dark chocolate, and everything in between (even blue and green eggs)
Kathy Niebylski Sorry Kathy, your research is wrong. The color of the egg is not related to the color of the feathers, just the breed. White Plymouth Rocks lay brown eggs. White Leghorn lays white. Other colors of Plymouth Rocks also lay brown. There are Brown Leghorns, they lay white. Araucanas come in many colors and lay blue and green eggs. Americanas, also in many colors, lay blue and green. Orpingtons, again, many colors, including white, lay brown eggs.
Hey, I came up with a great idea from that device... A hard boiled powder egg maker... Emmy, I usually place my eggs in a pot; and fill the pot about 1/2" to 1" above the ggs with water. Boil down to 1/2" the egg level water. The shells come off by themselves.
I bought those things years ago. Used them once. Tossed them out. Then I went and bought myself a nice little egg steamer and never looked back. Put the eggs in, turn it on, walk away until the buzzer goes off. No boiling water, no messing with silly gadgets; just perfectly-boiled eggs every time.
+a697ag Yeah, they probably do go through some kind of bleaching. It's strange that we Americans prefer white eggs so much. I mean there's no difference in flavor or anything between white and brown eggs.
The color of the egg depends on the breed of chicken. I usually buy brown eggs, but I with Easter around the corner I've found white eggs take dye better and make for more vibrantly colored eggs, so I got those instead.
Because they're laid by chickens who produce white eggs? I'm amazed how many people don't realize egg color is dependent on chicken breed and not bleaching (chickens can produce blue/green/pinkish eggs too)
We had the silicone version of these things, because I was only using egg whites from a carton. We washed them before hand and they retained the flavor of the dish soap... Like we washed them over and over and it wouldnt leave. Plus I didnt like the fact that we had to oil the inside. I like real hard boiled eggs much better, less time and honestly less clean up and everything
Donna G you're too kind! thankyou Donna! my son was also a week late, I'm feeling a bit cheated this time, all I've heard is "you go earlier with your second!"
Sarah Archer I have 3 of my own. A son thats 29, and 2 daughters age 17 and 18. My first was 22 hrs and a C section. My girls were each exactly 12 hrs and natural delivery. All 3 were a week overdue. My girls were definitely a quicker an easier delivery. Even after all these years I still remember how precious yet difficult pregnancy can be. I was so grateful for words of encouragement during those times. It helped me to know that others could understand my mixed emotions and "aches and pains" that went along with it. Now its my pleasure to pass along that same support to another Mommy to be.😀 I will continue to extend my thoughts and prayers to you for a speedy and healthy delivery. Take care and hang in there.😘
lol, what a dumb contraption! All of that fuss is way harder than just properly boiling an egg. It's like... here's five extra steps, have fun. And a plastic aftertaste.
Another great video! The easiest way to peal an egg is to slide the dome of a spoon between the egg and the shell, run it around, and the egg pops right out. Takes less than 10 seconds!
FYI- the fresher the egg, the easier it is to peel. If you cook an egg perfectly and it's still impossible to peel, it's probably many days older than the eggs Emmy has from her chickens. Just thought I'd let people know it's not just about the cooking method. ☺️
When hard-cooking eggs, ignore conventional wisdom and go with the freshest eggs you can find. (Cook's Illustrated) "In general, older eggs are easier to peel, so for hard boiled eggs an egg a few weeks old is better," David Mogford from the Australian Egg Corporation. Do what Emmy does. Room temp eggs, boiling water then add eggs, cook to your desired stage, (8 min. is mine like Emmy I like the yolk creamy), cold water until completely cool. Old eggs or fresh will peel easily.
Thank you so much! You did an excellent job, professional and easy to follow and understand. I wish I had looked you up before buying two sets of Eggies!
Emmy: I thank you for your sensible review of this item. I agree: I frown regarding heating anything for prolonged periods in plastic. 1:24; 5:00 & 7:17 minutes. I really believe that the natural way of peeling a hard boiled egg is better.
I bought one of these sets on amazon because they showed you can make all sorts of flavored eggs by adding green onion or diced up peppers while it cooks, but I used it a few times and after a bit it does start to have a bit of a strange plastic aftertaste.
although not stated specifically, I feel like this product might have been designed for people who lack the fine motor skills needed to peel an egg. maybe a disabled person would benefit more from it?
I can't remember where I read it but a lot of 'As Seen on TV' products that seem silly just like this one have been created with disabled people in mind but the companies need to sell more to make money so they also market it to the general public too.
I have no fingernails so it's hard for me to peels eggs, but I would never buy this thing. But I'm sure there is a good reason for this (as someone said earlier, this could be for people who lack motor skills or have little to no control over their hands).
listen my guy, when you see these kinds of products you need to not think about it in terms of you...a fully able bodied person. Whenever you see one of these "lazy" products stop and ask yourself "Would this make my old, frail and tired grandmas life easier?"...consider all the people who aren't as lucky to be able bodied like you. Think about people who shake, have nerve damage or are amputees. Not everything is for you. Some of these "lazy" products can genuinely help people.
Cara S. I actually don't give a shit... grow up and don't message a stranger on the Internet. I'm sure she doesn't need a little girl fighting her battles for her. So kindly butt the fuck out and mind your own damn business please.
Yes I was considering buying these because it looked so easy on the TV. Glad I saw your video. What I do now is boil then a dozen at a time then cool them down in ice water. After they are cooled but not cold I peel all at the same time and keep them in the fridge for the week. I usually have two eggs in the morning at Wk. I find it easier to peel after they cool and not stored in the fridge then peel.
It's funny how many people seem to be shocked or surprised at least at the white eggs. I mean, I grew up eating eggs of all kinds of shades, so I had really white ones, off-white ones, beige ones, really light brown ones and even shaded eggs. All taste exactly the same and bleaching isn't allowed here. I have to say that I prefer brown(ish) eggs, because in my experience, the shell is a tiny bit thicker and cracks more evenly on an edge when I make scrambled eggs or something like that. I also grew up using an egg pick to poke a small hole into the air pocket on the blunt end of the egg, so if you put a cold egg from the fridge into boiling water, the pressure escapes through the hole and the egg doesn't crack. I usually don't put my eggs into cold water and they still peel well. I don't know if the egg pick helps with that, too.
My lovely Emmy there is no need to store eggs in the refrigerator... they keep up to three weeks without aaaany cooling! This way you don’t need to give them a bath before cooking 😂😂 eggs and chickens are the best things that walk (and roll) on earth!! Such an handy „invention“ 😂 thank you for your so very uplifting program 😘😘 all the best from Germany
The ease of pealing an egg depends on the freshness of the egg and the temperature of the egg after cooking. That is why some people have a harder time than others with this particular task. If you get fairly fresh eggs then it is easier to peal when the egg gets to the point of where it’s cool enough to handle, while older eggs will become more difficult to peal the cooler the egg gets. At that point you can heat the eggs up in warm water to get the film that coats the flesh of the egg to release again. But overall I personally agree with you Emmy, cooking and pealing eggs the traditional way is faster and far less troublesome than something you have to put together and then clean afterwards.
hi emmy! while i can see how u can think that peeling eggs is easy, if you have any mobility impairment or problems with coordination, it's extremely difficult! most infomercial products (like the snuggy, which is a wheelchair blanket) are made for disabled people but forced to 'mass market' to able bodied people. despite being over 15% of the world population, we're not considered a 'viable market.' ive only tried to peel boiled eggs once, and it was such a MASSIVE struggle for me with my disabilities that i never attempted it again. that's what the eggy is meant for!
I enjoyed watching your video. It was very informative and made a lot of sense. I was about to order these Eggies, but your very useful information made me decide against that idea. I will stick to standard hard boiled eggs. It's funny how people waste a lot of time and effort inventing new products to try to solve problems that aren't actually problems. As you have said, these pointless gadgets actually increase the hassle factor. Well done! Æx
you should do some eggie experiments. Maybe try cooking it soft-boiled, turn it into an omelette, see if 2 eggs placed in it will merge it into one giant perfectly oblong egg, etc. I especially like to see the last one since I have doubts it'll cook evenly if that's the case.
As a chef/ cooking teacher I used to cook tons of eggs and I always took my pot, drained it and then I shook the pot so all eggs had a few cracks. Then I put cold water in the pot to cool the eggs. The water kinda works its way in between the egg and the membrane inside the shell, making pealing even easier. This specially helped if the eggs were too fresh, since really fresh eggs are very hard to peal.

At least you can use those plastic shells to make mini-raindrop cakes.

I see now. They just aren't that great.
Fab Review. Many Thanks ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
And this is easier than an egg in a shell how?
Katriya wouldn't it be harder though since you have to assemble the eggie???
I did and like I said or maybe should have said who saw this as easy and decided to make this.
Follow the rule KISS, an egg comes in its own cooking container that is quite easy to remove. I could probably remove the shell quicker than it took to get the egg from the container.
People with arthritis or Parkinson's wouldn't be able to get the egg into the plastic case.
by not having to peel the egg after... which can be problematic at times

I’ve been having such a hard stressful time lately and watching your videos has calmed me down and made me feel so much better when I feel like I’m about to burst. I know you hear this all the time, but thank you! You really are amazing

It's like the Rube Goldberg of egg cooking. Boiling eggs is literally one of the simplest most basic kitchen related tasks ever lol

Am I the only one who likes boiled eggs on the softer side?
Yooo, love soft boiled eggs
thaguf I like hard boiled
I like hard boiled to but prefer soft.

Kate Powers yes! Pretty much anything other than boiling them to hard “boil” then makes it easier (steaming, oven cooked...)

Either synesthesia or you farted
Maybe you farted
Im sure all the chemicals leeching into the egg really enhance the flavour
They have silicone ones. Much nicer, and making a "scrambled" egg you can scarf in the car on the way to work is nice.
Of course, the natural way you're boiling the egg in a chemical, surrounded by chemicals.

For perfect boiled eggs that aren't overcooked, I put them in the boiling water, let them go a couple minutes, then turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let them sit in the cooling water for about twelve to fourteen minutes. After that, I put the eggs into an ice bath to stop the cooking. No grey yolks for me!
Omg! I used to watch your channel when you tried the food from different countries that people sent you! This channel is HUGE now! Really happy to see how popular you've become! :D
I love how you show every step. It really makes for an honest review!
i was shocked when when she said she had a son she looks so young
i make no sense
Asian not raisin.
Aaliyah A she has two sons
That's because Hollywood only casts 40-50 year olds for parents
Bless people who make videos like this so the rest of us can save money when we get curious...
Sons?!?! I thought you were like 22 this whole time!
Mebbe she is. Her kids could be two or three. Remember, they're (part?) Asian. Valedictorians in the making.
Yeah she is beautiful for sure
I wasn't paying attention either
Asian girls don't age bro
She’s in her 40s I think. I thought she was a college kid too.
The first thing I want to say is I am so happy with the way you go about these products. I love how you LOOK at the instructions and follow them it gives a pretty unique experience that I want and is nearly impossible to find. I've seen so many videos where the guys full on TOSS the instructions away and then just try to 'figure it out themselves' and when they can't they just deem it as failed product.
I also enjoy your unbiased nature when it comes to these certain products and how you really go through it and add in your own opinion in a way that is very intelligent and reasonable. I really like the way you do your reviews in comparison to the videos out there where they shove the product down your throat for marketing or other videos where the person's biased opinions blind them to giving the product a fair chance.
there's literally no point for that product lmao wtf
is it that hard to peel an egg?
lufitueerb The point of it isn't for every member of society, but for people who might have tremors, arthritis, or anything limiting motion and doing small task.
Larkyn Embry oh that actually makes sense lol
Larkyn Embry But it uses so many more steps than just boiling an egg...and you have to screw and unscrew the container and get the egg out...not very good for people with limitations. just useless crap
They make sense if you have farm fresh eggs. They're impossible to peel. Store bought eggs are minimum 3 months old are are easy to peel when boiled.
Reminds me of an old fashioned egg coddler, which is kind of the same principle where you crack an egg in a porcelain container, put the lid on then place it in boiling water. They're considered antiques now.
There is something strangely satisfying about peeling hard boiled eggs.
The Eggie seems like a wannabe ceramic egg coddler. This used to be my favorite way to make eggs on the weekend. Coat the coddler with butter and then put chives or cheese or any other seasonings on top and enjoy the pure delicious egg happiness.
this is gonna sound really weird but your voice is really calming
Man! This makes me so jealous of how easy you made peeling an egg look
Gadgets usually should make something EASIER, not HARDER! Nobody needs this thing...
You are so fun to watch. I learn a lot about other countries thanks to you! Thank you for doing what you do. Keep at it!
I always wanted my hard boiled eggs to be flat bottomed XD
I hate myself for only appreciating your videos now. Where the hell am i the whole timmeee?!? Omg im so obsessed watching you. I am still fascinated and entertained watching you boil, peel, and eat hard boiled eggs hahahaha.
This might be a good tool for me since I cant touch eggshells without cringing because of my sensory issues lol
I was going to say the same thing. For me it's that inner membrane that gives me problems
You can take the eggs, put them right into a pan with cold water, then bring it up to a boil. Once you bring it to a boil, leave the pan on the burner with the lid on, and turn the stove off. Let it set for 10 minutes and you get perfect hard boiled eggs each time with no gray ring. That's how my grandma did it, and how I do it. Works every time.
In the time it takes to assemble the eggy I could have already made a hard boiled egg
I've had a box of these in my kitchen for easily over 3yrs & I've not ever opened it. hubby thought he was doing something sweet for me when he bought it. I still love him for trying
The only situation where I could see eggies being useful is for people who have medical disorders that make things like peeling eggs difficult.
BAHAHAHA...my father-in-law bought these for us. I just shoved them in the junk drawer, my husband found them & INSISTED on trying them! There was cooked egg white floating in the water, the eggs were stuck like gorilla glue to the inside of the plastic, & he said they tasted weird & were unevenly cooked. He threw them away, Eggies & all, & declared that I am still in charge of boiling & peeling the eggs in our house. Aaaah, marital bliss🤣🤣🤣
Omg that shirt!!!! WHERE DID YOU GET IT? Must have!!!
Why does everyone over think boiling eggs? The classic methos is best, start the eggs in a pot of cold water, they will warm us as the water does, once the water beings to boil let it go for 4-6 minutes depending on egg size and desired doneness. Thake pot to the sink, pour out hot water and fill with cold water and let stand, done.
We have an egg cooker 😂 it makes the perfect eggs unless you want "dippy" eggs. (a dippy egg is a English term, I don't know if it's used through all of Britain so I'm just gonna say English for now) it's basically a boiled egg with a runny yolk for dipping toast in. It fails at the dippy egg and you end up with a snotty egg of you don't leave it in its shell for a minute or two after cooking.
So like a soft boiled egg
VERSXCE Kind of but a bit runnier. You could try and eat it like a boiled egg but It'd be very messy.
Like a runny egg?lol
Cece Cheung boiled eggs with the runny yolk are what we call so boiled.
Emmy, Your instructions say 15 to 17 minutes. But, like you, I don’t like cooking in plastic. I’ll still boil them in the shell. PS. My husband & I both enjoy your tutorials. You make it fun & make us smile! Keep up the good work!!
pre-seasoned boils eggs
It amazes me when they design products that are supposed to make your life easier and then they end up being way more complicated!
Hey Emmy there are candies from the dollar tree called Mamba .They're delicious!!! You need to try them!
Watched this video since I got a set from yard sale.. Did not work for me either. So after 60 + years of making eggs and not cooking them well, I tried Emma's way and WOW , I now get perfect eggs all the time. Thank you Emmy for opening my eyes or brain for great eggs.
So that the egg shells don't burst while boiling, I use a tack to make a tiny hole at one end of the egg. There's a pointier end and a blunter end, so poke the hole in the blunter end. That end has a small chamber between the shell and inner membrane. Poking a tiny hole here will give the egg a place to release the pressure inside that's created by the cooking. Be careful to poke only the hard shell and not break the inner membrane. You'll see tiny bubbles coming from the hole once it's cooking, and the shell won't bust cz is got that pressure release. After cooking, give it an ice water bath for a few minutes, drain the water, shake the pan to crack and loosen the shells, then peel under gently running water. If the egg is not fresh, this works even better because the air chamber gets bigger over time.
Giggles That's how I make mine, but I like my eggs cold so I just cool in the water then put them in the frig with a big X so my Mr will know these are hard boiled. 😉
The Eggie video was right on. And, for every 1 Eggie, there are 6 pieces to clean by hand, preferably with a nylon bristle brush to get into the grooves inside and out. Not impressed. Into the give-away box they go.
why is your voice so soothing?
Hey, we have a set of these eggies someone gave us as a gift. We've never used them because it just seem simpler to hard boil a regular egg but I was super excited to see you give these a try.
Guys you gotta remember that all these "lazy people" inventions that are as seen on tv are usually made with disabled people in mind to make their lives easier. like for the eggie it would be for people who have a hard time holding smaller more delicate objects like an egg or have not so good motor skills and can't peel an egg. don't be rude guys.
I can see your reasoning on this. It can be a bit hard just to peel the shell off the cooked egg.
Thank you, yes this is the exact reason I bought one, the one I got from Wal Mart is a little different than the one Emmy is showing.
I really like the one I have, and it is easier for me, as I can no longer hold small objects and peeling eggs is impossible for me.
8:35
T Holmes but cracking an egg is easier?
Usually a good point but this particular device is still the size of an egg and you still have to assemble and disassemble as well as coat and clean this small object! Does not actually make it easier in any respect.
Nice approach to your analysis/comparison. Thanks for taking the time
Its sad seeing people who don't normally see a lot of white eggs say they are bleached. Don't you notice that not every chicken lays the same egg? White chickens lay these white eggs, that's why they seem bleached. And please don't fight me about me, because I learned enough from doing my own research and you might just benefit yourself by doing your own research on farm animals.
Lol true 😂
Kathy Niebylski people are so far removed from their food source. Like I have over a dozen chicken breeds and have eggs ranging from pure white to dark chocolate, and everything in between (even blue and green eggs)
Kathy Niebylski Sorry Kathy, your research is wrong. The color of the egg is not related to the color of the feathers, just the breed. White Plymouth Rocks lay brown eggs. White Leghorn lays white. Other colors of Plymouth Rocks also lay brown. There are Brown Leghorns, they lay white. Araucanas come in many colors and lay blue and green eggs. Americanas, also in many colors, lay blue and green. Orpingtons, again, many colors, including white, lay brown eggs.
jbeargrr Agreed. I have a mixture of chickens (not sure what breeds) that are white, brown, barred (striped) and they all lay perfectly white eggs.
Kathy Niebylski The darkness of colouration of a chickens earlobes and gizzard are an indicator of the darkness of an egg.
Hey, I came up with a great idea from that device... A hard boiled powder egg maker... Emmy, I usually place my eggs in a pot; and fill the pot about 1/2" to 1" above the ggs with water. Boil down to 1/2" the egg level water. The shells come off by themselves.
It might be decent for someone who doesn't eat the yolk though? I know my grandpa won't at all! :p
I bought those things years ago. Used them once. Tossed them out. Then I went and bought myself a nice little egg steamer and never looked back. Put the eggs in, turn it on, walk away until the buzzer goes off. No boiling water, no messing with silly gadgets; just perfectly-boiled eggs every time.
Why are American eggs so white?!
Sonya Kate bleach
+a697ag Yeah, they probably do go through some kind of bleaching. It's strange that we Americans prefer white eggs so much. I mean there's no difference in flavor or anything between white and brown eggs.
The color of the egg depends on the breed of chicken. I usually buy brown eggs, but I with Easter around the corner I've found white eggs take dye better and make for more vibrantly colored eggs, so I got those instead.
Because they're laid by chickens who produce white eggs? I'm amazed how many people don't realize egg color is dependent on chicken breed and not bleaching (chickens can produce blue/green/pinkish eggs too)
+Deku Kitty No, bleach would ruin the shell. Different chickens produce different eggs.
love your voice... it's so calm and gentle 👌🏾
hiya Emmy ❤
Hiya!
emmymadeinjapan Emmy what happened to your arm?!
Hi Emmy! I have been watching you since you started! Your one of my inspirations! 😙
looks like a period cup
BadActingWYIM seems reasonable .. I mean what is an egg? 😉
Anatomyyy C. u weird weird
I can't unthink this now 😮🤔😞
@@g0i2023 Me too!😖 LOL! 🤣
We had the silicone version of these things, because I was only using egg whites from a carton. We washed them before hand and they retained the flavor of the dish soap... Like we washed them over and over and it wouldnt leave. Plus I didnt like the fact that we had to oil the inside. I like real hard boiled eggs much better, less time and honestly less clean up and everything
still awake. overdue now.
I could totally eat some eggs.
Nearly there!
Sarah Archer Im still thinking about you! Hang in there. Any day now.😍😀
Donna G you're too kind! thankyou Donna! my son was also a week late, I'm feeling a bit cheated this time, all I've heard is "you go earlier with your second!"
Sarah Archer I have 3 of my own. A son thats 29, and 2 daughters age 17 and 18. My first was 22 hrs and a C section. My girls were each exactly 12 hrs and natural delivery. All 3 were a week overdue. My girls were definitely a quicker an easier delivery. Even after all these years I still remember how precious yet difficult pregnancy can be. I was so grateful for words of encouragement during those times. It helped me to know that others could understand my mixed emotions and "aches and pains" that went along with it. Now its my pleasure to pass along that same support to another Mommy to be.😀 I will continue to extend my thoughts and prayers to you for a speedy and healthy delivery. Take care and hang in there.😘
You are so entertaining to watch. I love your personality
lol, what a dumb contraption! All of that fuss is way harder than just properly boiling an egg. It's like... here's five extra steps, have fun. And a plastic aftertaste.
Another great video! The easiest way to peal an egg is to slide the dome of a spoon between the egg and the shell, run it around, and the egg pops right out. Takes less than 10 seconds!
FYI- the fresher the egg, the easier it is to peel. If you cook an egg perfectly and it's still impossible to peel, it's probably many days older than the eggs Emmy has from her chickens. Just thought I'd let people know it's not just about the cooking method. ☺️
When hard-cooking eggs, ignore conventional wisdom and go with the freshest eggs you can find. (Cook's Illustrated)
"In general, older eggs are easier to peel, so for hard boiled eggs an egg a few weeks old is better," David Mogford from the Australian Egg Corporation.
Do what Emmy does. Room temp eggs, boiling water then add eggs, cook to your desired stage, (8 min. is mine like Emmy I like the yolk creamy), cold water until completely cool. Old eggs or fresh will peel easily.
The OPPOSITE is the case: Fresh eggs are harder to peel, older ones easier!
😂😂. When Emmy says"itadakimasu" now if we turn on auto generated English captions it shows "It's rocky moss"!!😁😁
Maybe you were supposed to cover the eggies while boiling? Maybe that's why they took so long?
No, the directions specified that the Eggies were suppose to float.
they can float with the lid closed too Emm
I meant cover the pot with a lid
Person It doesn't say to do that in the instructions
My grandma got us one of these. The most useful part was the egg seperator in it and it's the only thing I still use from the box.
Like if Emmy should do a meet and greet!
Thank you so much! You did an excellent job, professional and easy to follow and understand. I wish I had looked you up before buying two sets of Eggies!
You look like Amy Wong from Futurama
Emmy: I thank you for your sensible review of this item. I agree: I frown regarding heating anything for prolonged periods in plastic. 1:24; 5:00 & 7:17 minutes. I really believe that the natural way of peeling a hard boiled egg is better.
Hello random person!
I hope you have a great day!!
Like and spread the love!!
I bought one of these sets on amazon because they showed you can make all sorts of flavored eggs by adding green onion or diced up peppers while it cooks, but I used it a few times and after a bit it does start to have a bit of a strange plastic aftertaste.
I heard if you're early enough she will reply. hi Emmy 🤗😃
have a gday gmorning and or gnight guys 😊
Hello. 👋
Your videos are so much fun!
Thanks!
Are pepole so lazy/incopetent they have a hard time peeling an egg?, its easy, just be gentle and patient
and TBH the "eggie" makes it take longuer and look uglier....
although not stated specifically, I feel like this product might have been designed for people who lack the fine motor skills needed to peel an egg. maybe a disabled person would benefit more from it?
I can't remember where I read it but a lot of 'As Seen on TV' products that seem silly just like this one have been created with disabled people in mind but the companies need to sell more to make money so they also market it to the general public too.
I have no fingernails so it's hard for me to peels eggs, but I would never buy this thing. But I'm sure there is a good reason for this (as someone said earlier, this could be for people who lack motor skills or have little to no control over their hands).
listen my guy, when you see these kinds of products you need to not think about it in terms of you...a fully able bodied person. Whenever you see one of these "lazy" products stop and ask yourself "Would this make my old, frail and tired grandmas life easier?"...consider all the people who aren't as lucky to be able bodied like you. Think about people who shake, have nerve damage or are amputees.
Not everything is for you. Some of these "lazy" products can genuinely help people.
I remember seeing these ! Your egg series was the reason I subscribed to your channel lol .. I love all your videos!💖💖💖
it clearly says for hard boiled eggs 15-17 minutes...
+LondonGirl 64 I like my eggs medium.
okay then stfu
Cara S. Was your response necessary? or do you just not have a life?
LondonGirl 64 oh it absolutely was hun:) now will you kindly STFU :)
Cara S. I actually don't give a shit... grow up and don't message a stranger on the Internet. I'm sure she doesn't need a little girl fighting her battles for her. So kindly butt the fuck out and mind your own damn business please.
Yes I was considering buying these because it looked so easy on the TV. Glad I saw your video. What I do now is boil then a dozen at a time then cool them down in ice water. After they are cooled but not cold I peel all at the same time and keep them in the fridge for the week. I usually have two eggs in the morning at Wk. I find it easier to peel after they cool and not stored in the fridge then peel.
This must be one of the most useless invention I have ever seen.
Not useless at all, I can no longer peel eggs and other things like that, so this actually makes it easier for me
It's funny how many people seem to be shocked or surprised at least at the white eggs. I mean, I grew up eating eggs of all kinds of shades, so I had really white ones, off-white ones, beige ones, really light brown ones and even shaded eggs. All taste exactly the same and bleaching isn't allowed here.
I have to say that I prefer brown(ish) eggs, because in my experience, the shell is a tiny bit thicker and cracks more evenly on an edge when I make scrambled eggs or something like that.
I also grew up using an egg pick to poke a small hole into the air pocket on the blunt end of the egg, so if you put a cold egg from the fridge into boiling water, the pressure escapes through the hole and the egg doesn't crack.
I usually don't put my eggs into cold water and they still peel well. I don't know if the egg pick helps with that, too.
My lovely Emmy there is no need to store eggs in the refrigerator... they keep up to three weeks without aaaany cooling! This way you don’t need to give them a bath before cooking 😂😂 eggs and chickens are the best things that walk (and roll) on earth!! Such an handy „invention“ 😂 thank you for your so very uplifting program 😘😘 all the best from Germany
The ease of pealing an egg depends on the freshness of the egg and the temperature of the egg after cooking. That is why some people have a harder time than others with this particular task. If you get fairly fresh eggs then it is easier to peal when the egg gets to the point of where it’s cool enough to handle, while older eggs will become more difficult to peal the cooler the egg gets. At that point you can heat the eggs up in warm water to get the film that coats the flesh of the egg to release again. But overall I personally agree with you Emmy, cooking and pealing eggs the traditional way is faster and far less troublesome than something you have to put together and then clean afterwards.
watching within 3 minutes of posting and there's already over 300 views, you know everyone loves Emmy when lol!
hi emmy! while i can see how u can think that peeling eggs is easy, if you have any mobility impairment or problems with coordination, it's extremely difficult! most infomercial products (like the snuggy, which is a wheelchair blanket) are made for disabled people but forced to 'mass market' to able bodied people. despite being over 15% of the world population, we're not considered a 'viable market.' ive only tried to peel boiled eggs once, and it was such a MASSIVE struggle for me with my disabilities that i never attempted it again. that's what the eggy is meant for!
Cool demo. E. What a goofy device and great fun to watch you try to pound out the finished egg! You're the best,
I enjoyed watching your video. It was very informative and made a lot of sense. I was about to order these Eggies, but your very useful information made me decide against that idea. I will stick to standard hard boiled eggs. It's funny how people waste a lot of time and effort inventing new products to try to solve problems that aren't actually problems. As you have said, these pointless gadgets actually increase the hassle factor. Well done! Æx
you should do some eggie experiments. Maybe try cooking it soft-boiled, turn it into an omelette, see if 2 eggs placed in it will merge it into one giant perfectly oblong egg, etc. I especially like to see the last one since I have doubts it'll cook evenly if that's the case.
As a chef/ cooking teacher I used to cook tons of eggs and I always took my pot, drained it and then I shook the pot so all eggs had a few cracks. Then I put cold water in the pot to cool the eggs. The water kinda works its way in between the egg and the membrane inside the shell, making pealing even easier.
This specially helped if the eggs were too fresh, since really fresh eggs are very hard to peal.
